Château Miraval Estate Tour

Yes, it's Brad Pitt's estate. But the wine is made with Famille Perrin (Château de Beaucastel) and it's legitimately world-class. The tour includes the recording studio where Pink Floyd made The Wall.

What to do there

2 things to do

1. 1 Find the Recording Studio History · Price: moderate

   Where Pink Floyd made The Wall.

   During your estate tour (€35-50), the guide will show the recording studio. Pink Floyd, The Cranberries, and Sting all recorded here. Ask about the acoustics - the room was designed by a sound engineer, not a decorator.

2. 2 Taste the Perrin Connection Wine · Price: moderate

   This isn't celebrity wine - it's Beaucastel quality.

   During tasting, ask about the Famille Perrin partnership. They make Château de Beaucastel (Châteauneuf-du-Pape). The rosé uses the same rigor. This legitimizes the estate beyond celebrity.
