Our village origins date back to the year 990, A.D. and Roman artifacts as well as dolmens have been found nearby.
With about 500 inhabitants, La Livinière is the birthplace of the Crû La Livinière (a regional wine A.O.C.), and has over 20 winemakers and a wine co-op, with more and more inclined to be certified organic. Its two churches are both official historical monuments and have great architectural and historical interest. La Livinière is also experiencing a sharp increase in its olive culture with over 10000 olive trees. A great number of Capitelles (small stone buildings that used to protect peasants and horses from the bad weather) can be found around the village.
An authentic village that lives by the rhythm of the seasons with the lavender harvest, the grape harvest, the olive harvest and the year round work in the vineyards. La Livinière has a strong relationship with nature, located in the foothills of the Black Mountain, with incredible views over the Corbières mountains and the Pyrenees mountains.
If you love nature, castles, abbeys, museums, walks, old stones, unspoiled beaches, calm, water activities, great wine, mysteries, dolmens, art, great food and adventures, then you'll be living a dream.
