About Vacqueyras red organic Hommage du Rhone
The name “Vacqueyras” derives from the Latin “Valléa Quadreria,”. It means “valley of stones.”
Indeed, the village embodies authenticity and a distinct ‘art of living.’
Evidence of vine cultivation here dates back to the Middle Ages, when the area was engaged in mixed farming, including olive groves, mulberry trees for silkworm production, and vineyards.
In 1414, the first land registry of the Comtat Venaissin noted the existence of vines in the village, and by 1448, taxes on grape and wine harvests were recorded. Vine cultivation has thus been a longstanding tradition in Vacqueyras, and today, it remains the village’s primary agricultural focus, with 1,460 hectares dedicated to vineyards.
