Discover the Domaine de la Croix du Verre

Located in the Drôme department, in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation area, and more precisely in the commune of Larnage, the owners of the Domaine de la Croix du Verre, Maryline and Olivier, will be delighted to receive you in a house of character built in pebble of the Rhone dating from the seventeenth century, to allow you to taste the delights of the region. This vineyard created in 1987 will give you the opportunity to discover the wines of the domain of appellation Crozes-Hermitage, and to relax in one of its rooms in complete serenity. You will probably wonder why this name "Domaine de la Croix du Verre"? Well, you must know that this name comes from a simple cross located at the crossroads of the vineyards of the estate, on which according to legend, the winegrowers left there a glass and a bottle of wine to quench the thirsty pilgrims.

Travellers' review - La Croix du Verre

  • Excellent stay

    A very warm welcome to the Croix du Verre estate. We enjoyed talking to Olivier and Maryline. They talk about their vineyards and wines with passion. The room was very quiet and clean, and the breakfast copious and varied, with a tasting of the house apricot juice. We really enjoyed the visit (and the wines) of the Domaine de la croix du Verre. The owner's visit and tasting of the Ville Rouge was interesting because of the specificity of their culture (biodynamic). It was very instructive for us in terms of this type of cultivation, with which we were unfamiliar. We also enjoyed the "Le Quai" and especially the "Vinéum" restaurants we visited. The food and wine pairings were of excellent quality. The Sunday restaurant did not seem as good in terms of quality and interest in relation to the weekend's theme, perhaps because we were full or because there was no wine and food pairing. Good organization by Vinotrip, the roadmap is well done and all reservations were made. What's more, we didn't feel any difference in our treatment in the restaurants between us and the other customers. We were very well placed.

    First, a warm welcome at Domaine de la croix du verre. Olivier talks passionately about his terroir and his wines. Maryline welcomes us to her high-quality guest rooms. We were in the Marsanne, where blue and white create an atmosphere of calm and rest. Quiet at night, in the morning, traditional breakfast with home-grown produce. Try the apricot juice, excellent. The discovery of vintages, whether at the domaine de la croix du verre, where after the tasting, Olivier took us into his vineyards, or at the ville rouge where a charming young student spoke to us passionately about grape varieties and wines after an instructive tour of the cellars. The restaurants we chose were of good quality and made us feel very welcome. We were expected at all 3 of them, all very different, but all offering quality products (le Quai, on the banks of the Rhone, Vinéum and its excellent cuisine, le Farfadet, traditional cuisine and a family atmosphere). A visit to the Valrhona chocolate factory, a stroll through the vineyards to the Tain chapel and a visit to the palais du facteur Cheval rounded off this stay offered by our colleagues. Vinotrip's organization was excellent, and the itinerary well laid out. We recommend this trip.

  • A Wonderful Stay

    An excellent trip, very well organized by Vinotrip. We received a warm welcome at Domaine de La Croix du Verre, with a delightful tour and tasting at the estate. The owners are so friendly—it really felt like home (a place we won’t forget if we ever return to the region). Vinotrip did an excellent job organizing the itinerary, featuring high-quality restaurants and very interesting tours. A little unexpected bonus: we were able to attend the Harvest Festival on Sunday afternoon in Tain-l’Hermitage after a wonderful lunch on the terrace. The only slight downside: the choice of Michel Chabran’s Michelin-starred restaurant, which was a real disappointment due to the ultra-traditional nature of the meal—it wasn’t particularly exceptional compared to his brasserie in Tain, where we had dinner on Saturday night, which was far more surprising from a gastronomic standpoint. The sommelier at his Michelin-starred restaurant, however, was perfect and introduced us to a completely unknown but very good regional wine that paired perfectly with our meal... A trip to be repeated without hesitation and highly recommended
