Mireval

Mireval is a commune in the Hérault department in the Occitanie region in southern France. It is located approximately 15 kilometers southwest of Montpellier.

Mireval is known for its Muscat de Mireval, a sweet fortified wine with an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) designation. The vineyards are primarily situated on the slopes surrounding the village.

The village has a history dating back to Roman times. The Château de Mireval, a notable historical landmark, reflects the area's past.
