The BYRRH Cellar in Thuir is more than a centuary old and is the place where the wine-based aperitif BYRRH is made. It was invented by two brothers, Simon and Pallade Violet in 1866.
Simon Violet was the most ambitious of the brothers. Thanks to his huge knowledge of wines, he made the wonderful recipe of BYRRH, which was first sold as a tonic. Very soon the Violet brothers met success and BYRRH's fame spread worldwide, especially in the 1930s.
