Château de Paraza is a testament to the Danglas family's dedication to winemaking. In 2005, Annick and Pascal revitalized this historic estate, which has roots dating back to the seventeenth century when engineer Paul Riquet oversaw the construction of the Canal du Midi. Initially, the estate focused on olive cultivation and sheep farming before transitioning to winemaking. Today, their son has joined the family business, bringing fresh ideas and energy to the vineyard. Located in the Minervois region, Château de Paraza is surrounded by some of the oldest vineyards in France.
With a winemaking tradition that dates back to Roman times, Château de Paraza prioritizes sustainable practices. The estate focuses on responsible water usage and ensures that all packaging is recyclable. To promote biodiversity, they are replanting the local “garrigue,” a unique scrubland ecosystem. Organic techniques are employed both in the vineyard and the winery, reflecting their commitment to environmental stewardship.
The vineyards at Château de Paraza cultivate a variety of grapes, including Grenache Noir, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Mourvèdre, and the local Marselan, a hybrid created in the 1960s. For white wines, they grow Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, along with several exceptional rosés. The soil composition, primarily clay-limestone and clay-pebbles, contributes to the unique character of their wines. The family pays meticulous attention to every detail in the winemaking process, ensuring high-quality results.

We got married at Castello di Paraza, it is a magnificent place, ideally located, the rooms are impeccable and comfortable. The service was more than up to our expectations as was the breakfast. Our guests were thrilled with their weekend and to have spent this time in such a beautiful environment. We will return with great pleasure and I think we will not be the only ones.

A little gem of a hotel, small number of rooms but each with its own identity. Lovely pool and grounds with an attached winery to sample their own wines. Staff are really helpful and attentive, and our hosts are very friendly. Highly recommend for a couple of nights to enjoy the beautiful grounds and surrounding areas.
