The makings of a great wine begin in the vineyards and what better way to learn about the ‘terroir’ and its influence on the wine than on a guided walk. You will stop and taste the wine directly from the vineyard it came from. Along the way you will also sample local specialties to compliment your wine. An easy and informative walk that lasts 2 hours.
Experience a tutored Tapas tasting where you will learn about the wines, gastronomy, culture and history of this fantastically diverse region. The tasting incorporates a selection of eight wines from across the entire Languedoc-Roussillon region. Each wine is partnered with local, seasonal and home made tapas dishes, to highlight the wine and the quality of the produce found here. During lunch or dinner you will not only be taken on a gastronomic tour of the region but you will learn how to taste like a pro and how to analyse the relationship between wine and food. You will also learn how to shop for wines to suit your palate and take home recipes of many of the dishes sampled.
