Viggen Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Roman ruins found in southern France have been declared remnants of the country's earliest known winery. The large site, built around 10AD, is still surrounded by vines today on the outskirts of Clermont l'Herault, in the heart of Languedoc wine country.

Pantagathus Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I think the caveat here is oldest discovered winery. Certainly not earliest winery or oldest 'known'. Massaliot vinters were shipping local wine into the heart of Gaul by the early 5th Century BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
