Domaine de Dionysos is the union of two properties, “La Devèze” and “La Cigalette”, 42 acres located in the village of Uchaux les Farjon, southeast of Cairanne.

The estate is currently managed by André Farjon and his son Benjamin, and are certified organic and biodynamic according to European Standards.
