The Story of Château de Cranne

Founded in 1833 by Jean Villars, Château de Cranne began as a modest vineyard alongside traditional farming. After marrying Eugene Patchon in 1870, they became the first winemakers in the Garonne Region, setting the stage for a legacy that continues today. Now in its seventh generation, this family-run winery is renowned for its exceptional sweet white and red wines, crafted with care and tradition.

Quality and Innovation at Château de Cranne

Château de Cranne has embraced modernization and mechanization in its winemaking process. The challenges of the Second World War led to significant advancements in agricultural practices, and the post-war era saw a rise in viticulture. The vineyard adapted by planting popular red grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery's philosophy centers on quality, management, and communication, ensuring the production of outstanding wines. Today, Château de Cranne spans 43 hectares, featuring white grape varieties like Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, and Muscadelle, alongside red varieties including Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Excellent time at Cranne Castle! The Terra Aventura course is very beautiful and pleasant and the welcome from the owners is more than up to par! Thank you very much for tasting the rosé - delicious - and with a super cool visual! Maybe one day for the bbq... THANKS !

Discovery of the area through a terra adventure. What a great discovery! Very beautiful estate intertwined between vines and small woods. An invitation to a tasting of the property's wines with explanations on their cultivation. Very good time! Delicious organic wine without sulphites! Very smiling and pleasant welcome!

Very warm welcome, dynamic team, possibility of combining one of the escape games inspired by the history of the family (7generations!) with a skewer evening in a very pleasant setting, children can explore the park through an inspired treasure hunt wine growing culture and take refuge in the barrel-shaped wooden cabin dedicated to them! the property, in organic farming since 2009, produces a range of wines in 4 colors faithful to local terroirs: aromatic, fruity, enjoy!
