Maury, FRANCE

Maury may be small, but it’s a rewarding stop for travelers seeking scenic beauty, and the deep, earthy pleasures of wine, food, and the Catalan spirit. 

This is where we make our own Côtes Catalanes wines from our 30 acres of old-vine Grenache, Grenache Gris, Syrah and Carignane.

We make our wines at Thunevin-Calvet, in partnership with Jean Roger and Marie Calvet. Highly recommend tasting with them when you visit.

Maury is a small village in the Pyrénées-Orientales, nestled among rugged hills and vineyards. Known for its rich winemaking history, Maury is most famous for its namesake Vin Doux Naturel—a fortified Grenache-based wine as bold and expressive as the terrain.

Wandering through Maury, you’ll find a peaceful rhythm: stone houses, quiet squares, and the hum of conversation at the local café. Surrounded by steep, terraced vineyards and craggy limestone outcrops, the scenery is breathtaking, especially at golden hour.

Wine is central to life here, and visitors can explore a range of tasting rooms and family-run domaines producing traditional sweet wines and increasingly celebrated dry red wines from old-vine Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah. The area is part of the Agly Valley, a region that has become a haven for ambitious, quality-driven winemakers.

Visit Le Pichenouille for lunch or stop at La Placette. We recommend booking a VRBO with a kitchen so that you can enjoy local produce and a great butcher in the comfort of your home away from home.

If you’re based in Maury, there are many day trips that can easily be made from this home base.

Cucignan, Duilhac-sous-Peyrepertuse, the Gorge de Galamus, Queribus Castle, Château de Puilaurens and so much more!
