Winemakers Who Tweet in the Languedoc-Roussillon
This is a list of Languedoc-Roussillon Domaines that tweet. We have a separate list of winemakers who blog. And a list of winemakers on facebook.
The region is pretty well-represented on Twitter, but it could be a lot better. I’m working on that by training winemakers to start increasing their web presence, but not all of them are ready to maintain an active Twitter account.
Interestingly, I noticed a lot more twitter accounts being held by a group of winemakers, an organization that represents them or a marketing representative that tweets for them. They are listed separately when I am capable of telling them apart.
This list also shows a lot winemakers with virtually no followers. Take the time to check them out and maybe a few will be to your liking. Or you can follow the entire list of Languedoc-Roussillon Winemaking Tweeters.

- Skalli Wines – Not only south of France but Skalli was a big influence in the Languedoc
- ??? I have no idea who this is, but they are appear to be representing a winery near Limoux
If you know any other Languedoc Roussillon Domaines on Twitter, feel free to correct this list by emailing me or by commenting below. I know a lot of folks but I don’t know everybody! And sometimes I’m just forgetful.
