O’Vineyards March 2013 Wall of Fame

After our Australian, Singaporian and some of our frequent UK visitors, most of our recent guests came from United States. Our fun has started much earlier this year thanks to you all!

We are missing the pictures of our International Peruvian Germano family. Will soon do a post on Roxana, Carlos and Family!

 

We had a great group for a Cooking Workshop! An & Philip, Jenny & Barry, Josua & Alexandra.

“A wonderful evening”

“How fortunate to have found O’Vineyards through Tripadvisor. We spent a wonderful evening with such generous hosts were indulged with wonderful food and amazing wines. How nice to sit around one big table. A visit to the vineyards, followed by a cellar tour and blind tasting before being seated at one large table with the hosts and other guests. Think this was our best food and wine experience in this region in 5 years! Thank you so much – we hope to visit again and will be recommending this experience to all our friends.

At O’Vineyards we like to share good food and good wine with our visitors.

When it’s done and over, we realized we enjoy the company as much or more as they did!

 

Back from the market with a colorful array of fresh local food!

Julie Taylor wanted to give her partner Rob Houghton a Birthday Treat at O’Vineyards!

And little did she know, we would all get to go out and play…after dinner!

Gauthier Hille, the young caterer was inducted into the Prosper Montagné Gastronomic Club that evening… and we were all invited to the festivities. Julie and Rob had fun!

This summer, O’Vineyards is celebrating the arrival of its newest wine, O’MG 2011, by extending the opportunity to all visitors to enjoy it before bottles go on sale outside of O’Vineyards later this fall.

The O’MG Summertime Special begins at 12pm with a winery tour and wine tasting, followed by a picnic basket lunch and half a bottle of our new wine O’MG per person. You are free to enjoy the picnic basket lunch on our sunny patio overlooking the vines. The price per guest is 35€ all inclusive. Please call or email ahead for reservations as limited space is available.

We want to take this opportunity to inform our readers that the five course meal at the Winemakers’ Table will be exclusively available at dinnertime until our harvest time. Thank you and see you soon!

It’s nice to see the almond trees in full bloom and life returning to the vineyard.  The vines are never too far behind the almond trees.

It’s tough being away from the vineyard for so long, but I see it’s still in good hands with mom and dad.

The tourists are starting to flow through too and they’re still having a lot of fun greeting visitors.

Some of our regulars, Michael and Fay, came by to kick off the season and they took lots of nice pictures.  It’s nice to see some of the same faces every season because that’s a sign that O’Vineyards is fun enough to keep coming back.  And it’s cool that they like us enough to share the destination with their friends and relatives, bringing somebody new along each time.

It’s really magical to meet strangers and quickly become friends.  Folks like Michael and Fay feel like part of the family and we’re proud and lucky that they stumbled across O’Vineyards two years ago when we were just starting to offer tours!

  2. Take the exit towards Pennautier. Continue 500m to a small roundabout and go straight over.
  3. Look out for the second road on your right, Avenue des Cévennes which curves up hill (about 1km) to Avenue de la Montagne Noire on the left.
  4. At the last juction, bear left. the road sign “Ave de la Montagne Noire” (confusing as it seems to show a right turn)
  5. After another 500m you will see our red brick color building in the middle of the vines.
