"Revitalize the body, replenish the soul."
Set in a beautiful oasis of peace & tranquility in the heart of Southwest France, nestle among many local vineyards, ‘Vin & Vinyasa’ will not only be a retreat from our daily lives, but also a cultural experience as we explore the breathtaking scenery & partake in the delicious foods & wines of the area. Enjoy the region’s delicacies as we visit the Sunday market, sample the delicious wines from the local vineyard, relax the body with an hour-long massage, discover the beauty & mysteries of the region, and indulge the senses with a curated eight-course wine & tapas tasting. It will be a magical time to remember as we revitalize our bodies with daily yoga, while replenishing our souls with delicious foods & wine while exploring the surrounding area.
Accommodation
In the heart of Southwest France, south of Carcassonne, surrounded by the Pyrenees Mountains, Domaine de Mournac has been recently renovated and restored to provide a farmhouse feel with modern comforts. This beautiful 12th century stone coach house, surrounded among acres of woodlands, includes a large heated outdoor pool with breath-taking views of the valley & its many vineyards. All bedrooms have modern en-suite bathrooms. The retreat center boasts a large semi-professional kitchen, the spacious dining room, 2 living rooms and a separate yoga studio. The main house has 6 bedrooms, double and triple occupancy available.
Food
We will enjoy deliciously prepared meals, locally sourced, by our own personal retreat chef, who will take us on a culinary tour each day. Most meals will be vegetarian with a few exceptions for dinner.
A hearty breakfast will greet us after our morning yoga session with freshly baked pastries delivered to the retreat on alternate mornings from the local boulangerie.
Lunch shall be lovingly prepared with many seasonal, local & organic produce, some from the property’s garden to help keep us fueled through the day.
Dinner shall be a scrumptious meal, varying each night amongst vegetarian, fish or meat as the main course. Of course, we will be ending our evening with dessert and wine!
A special evening will include "Taste of Le Sud", a curated eight-course Wine and Tapas tasting that highlights the wine and quality of produce in this fantastically diverse region (meat/fish/vegetarian).
Please let us know if there are any other dietary restrictions.
Activities/ Tours
Our mornings will begin with pranayama to ease ourselves into the day then a vigorous yoga session in the beautiful studio with views of the Pyrenees and nearby mountains from the large terrace. After breakfast we will have the opportunity to venture out into the magical surroundings to explore the local beautiful landscape, ending our days events with a gentle hatha/ restorative yoga session before enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
Activities will include a tour of local vineyards, an afternoon exploring the mysteries of Rennes Les Chateau (lunch included with wine), a hike up to Mont Sec and a visit to the local market. A visit to the romantic Puilarens Castle is a must with its stunning views of the surrounding area & its impressive building of ciganes (a zig-zag of fortified paths leading up to the main gate.) If you are looking for quiet relaxation, spend an afternoon in a hammock or by the pool, enjoy your one-hour massage, linger amidst the vines, or stroll through the woodland that surrounds the property. All activities are included in the price & optional. You may do as little or as much as you wish during your stay.
