The Vineyards tours take you to your favorite vineyard region and last 5,10 or 15 days according to your tour preferences.
A wine trail is a route selected for tourists that takes you deep into the heart of wine-growing regions, naturally with the aim of introducing you to the local wines, the wine-growers and the vineyards, but also the local cuisine, the cultural heritage, and other regional tourist attractions.
The growth in wine tourism, both in France and beyond, has led to the creation of the concept of the wine trail: both for the benefit of local tourist organisations – with the aim of raising the profile of a wine-growing region – and simply to create a tourist trail that a guide can recommend. A visit to a vineyard remains a unique experience that allows guests to combine discovery of new wines with the exploration of a region!
Wine routes exist for all of France’s different wine regions. The first trails were created from the 1950s onwards, and now the routes offer the unique opportunity to dive, head first, into the heart of a wine-growing region, discovering its cultural and culinary features as well as the wine itself.
Today, nearly 7.5 million wine tourists fill up the vineyards each year, from France and other countries, beginners and experts alike: all kinds of people come together on the journey from winery to winery. From the best known to the best-kept secrets, from the longest to the briefest, the sunniest to the coolest, France gastronomy tours takes you on an unforgettable journey on the trail you picked!
In Pays d’Oc : Take a trip back in time along the region’s Via Domitia, the Canal du Midi or the Pilgrim’s Way to Santiago de Compostela… and make sure to stop over at the fishing port of Sète.
In Languedoc-roussillon :
These trails will take you through the Rhone Valley and the foothills of the Pyrenees. There are many different options, but each one takes you through some wonderful landscapes where the cultural heritage and architecture are as stunning as the natural beauty.
From the Middle Ages onwards, viniculture developed in what was then known as Occitania. The Roman Via Domitia, which connected Rome with Spain, saw the birth of the city of Nimes and the Pont du Gard, both of which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The terrain is harsh, and was affected for a long time by the wine growers “revolution” of 1907. However, over the last few years, the wine growers have transformed the quality of the local wine, using high-quality grape varieties, reducing the amount harvested and setting standards through the creation of appellations d’origine contrôlées.
This renewal has seen the four agricultural départements in France’s southern Midi region produce a third of France’s total wine production. Corbières, Fitou, Saint-Chinian, and Minervois Limoux are the regions’ most evocative names, covering territory that extends from the Gard to the Hérault, from Pic Saint-Loup to the terraces of Larzac via Corbières, the marshlands of the Camargue and the Minervois. Roussillon offers us famous, naturally sweet wines including Rivesaltes and Maury and Banyuls Muscat. As you travel through the départements of Hérault, Gard, Aude, and Pyrénées Orientales you will encounter a great deal of variety, from full-bodied red wines to dry yet fruity whites and naturally sweet wines.
