The Venue History

13th century · Catalonian farmhouse

Domaine Madrona was built in the 13th century as a Catalan farmhouse and once served as a refuge for Cathar pilgrims. The estate was restored over four years from 2017. It adjoins its sister estate, the Querubi organic olive farm, planted in 2006 with around 10,000 olive trees and farmed without synthetic fertilisers.
