Mas Camps is situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees, surrounded by vineyards. In this idyllic setting, we offer you an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and yet we are only 20 minutes from the dynamic city of Perpignan with its convenient daily connections to London, Toulouse and Barcelona. Although in the country, we are within 30 minutes of the Spanish border, about 40 minutes from the beach resort of Canet Plage, under an hour and a half to the ski resorts and 2½ hours from Andorra.
The Mas Camps domain extends to 35 hectares with vines from the foothills of the Corbières to the slopes of the Cathar castles. The property is made up of various parcels of land with southern aspects giving low yields and ensuring good quality grapes. This geographical diversity makes it possible to cultivate various soils and thus select according to the nature and type of ground, the most suitable types of vine.
These various elements are important for the balance of the wines and is the result of the knowledge and the work of many generations. Our soils consist of argilo-limestone and schists. For our red wines we use black Grenache, syrah, mourvèdre and carignan and for our white wines sauvignon and vermentino
In Mas Camps today we offer you the commanding scenery for which it was selected first as a Roman camp (hence the name) over 2000 years ago and in the 12th century as one of the Templar encampments in Roussillon (see our history for more on this) and the opportunity to select from the descendants of the vines which made it so attractive for over 1000 years both in the winery and in Mas Camps Restaurant.
In the present day there are innumerable attractions within a short walk or drive of us. Our regional guide covers these in more detail but briefly, you have within 15 minutes the opportunity to view cycle races (some of which go straight past our door), take mountain bike or walking tours (the 12 day Sentiere Cathare takes you along some of the Cathar history or the region and within sight of Mas Camps), sample the best of French haute cuisine, learn French, meet the earliest man in Europe, and taste the wine, to mention but a few things within 15 minutes of us. Extend your journey to an hour and you will add the Mediterranean beaches, numerous castles, canal trips, Roman roads, festivals throughout the summer and Spain.

Getting here ...

... is described in our transport section (through which you can book flights and car hire if required), but briefly you can fly to Perpignan (10-15 minutes away), Carcassonne or Girona (both about 90 minutes distant), Toulouse or Barcelona (about 2 hours), take the TGV to Perpignan, or, of course, drive here. Once you get to Perpignan (the city or airport), follow the signs for Foix which takes you along the D117 through the villages of Cases de Pène and then Estagel before you reach us (we are immediately to your left after you cross the second bridge out of Estagel). The direction signs are displayed on our airport directions page and there is a map of the local area here. If you are coming during August, it's best to avoid the motorway after Narbonne as the queues are enormous by the time you approach Perpignan (the N9 follows much the same route without the queues or the tolls).

The Pyrenees-Oriental and Catalan regions ...

... are described more fully in our section on the region. We think that there is something for everyone here from the rich tapestry of the vineyards, the magnificent mountain landscapes of the Pyrenees, the delightful medieval villages to the Mediterranean beaches and all within an hour of Mas Camps. That's within an hour at normal speeds; we have managed all these in under 30 minutes ourselves.
