To establish the European reputation of the farm and vineyard, 60,000 American vines were introduced to the 45-hectare VERCHANT vineyard, where today we still invite visitors to come and sample our vintage wines all year round.

Restaurants The fine dining restaurant "Marcelle" of the Domaine de Verchant with stunning views of the outdoor pool and grounds, come and discover the skills and creativity. Choose from the seasonal menus created by our chef where the emphasis is on regional produce and enhanced by a warm, intimate atmosphere.

An absolute must for this charming oasis among the vines: an invitation to escape, relax and unwind... You will experience the pleasure of lazing in the sun, with Mediterranean scents wafting by... just 10 minutes from the city center protected from the urban bustle, a unique, exceptional place. The restaurant "la plage by Verchant" among the vines, seating 70, where you can sample cuisine with a southern French flair, at once refined and delicious. The relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere will relax and delight you.

The "La Plage " brasserie located in the vigneyard with daily meal, tapas and sunday brunch. The whole beach team will be at your service to leave nothing to be desired, and to help you have a truly relaxing experience. The appealing 11 x 21 m swimming pool overlooking the vineyard and lined with sunbeds and deckchairs is conducive to that luxuriousness found on all the best beaches.

Spa Located in the heart of a 17-hectare vineyard, Verchant le Spa is a private club covering 2000 m2, unique of its kind in Montpellier. Designed by Chantal and Pierre Mestre, this "place apart" is just like their hotel: a designer setting combining luxury and well-being, and a haven dedicated to care of mind and body alike (with Biologique Recherche and Valmont products).

Vineyard At Verchant, with the long history of our estate behind us, we focus all our efforts on maintaining our wines and ensuring that they flourish. Surrounding the Château, the 17- hectare Verchant vineyard contains among others red Syrah and Grenache vines from the Mediterranean, and Merlot, Cabernet franc and Petit Verdot vines from Bordeaux. Throughout the estate, old vines rub shoulders with more recently planted ones, and we have adopted the double cordon "Royat" pruning associated with wooden post trellises.

Our sommelier welcomes you in the cellar to wine tasting and sales the different wines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
