The Mas d'Intras estate has been passed down through 4 generations and is now run by Denis Robert and Sébastien Pradal. A modest-sized operation that has opted for organic farming, the domaine produces some excellent red wines from the Ardèche region, including the famous Cuvée d'Alphonse, a fruity, full-bodied blend of Syrah and Merlot, and the Cuvée des Helviens, made with Grenache from old vines. There's also a studio for two, should you wish to continue your stay here.

Gérald and Jocelyne, brother and sister, took over this 22-hectare estate in Valvignères from their father in 1983. It is made up of numerous grape varieties: syrah, grenache, portan, cabernet, carignan, merlot for the reds, viognier, chardonnay, grenache blanc: for the whites, and above all, very old vines for the region. Le Mazel wines are natural, with no filtration, flash pasteurization or inputs other than SO2, and come in very affordable bottles or more prestigious cuvées.

For 2,000 years, in this valley with its clay-limestone soil and Mediterranean climate, generations of winegrowers have ensured the continuity of the vineyard. Founded in 1952, the cooperative cellar receives grapes from 75 cooperators, for a surface area of 420 ha. The basic grape variety was that of the Côtes-du-Rhône. Over the last thirty years, new grape varieties have been added to the blends. The cellar has an ultra modern cellar. In summer, guided walks in the vineyard.
