Lodging
Accommodation in the heart of the vineyards
An old-fashioned outing
The vineyard by moped
Fancy a vintage and hair-raising activity? Hop on a roaring moped with Vintage Moped.
Helmet on, hand on the accelerator, this is an original way to meet our winegrowers or producers on the small winding roads of Occitan Tuscany.
The best time? In the morning, when the low light caresses the groves, the fields of vines, or the still misty sunflowers. Each bend reveals a different and striking scene that makes you want to stop every 100 meters!
You prefer to walk through the vineyard at bikeor a speed bump, or on foot? We offer you all our activities around the vineyard.
A walking tour
The Oenorandos
A wine hike? What's that? Well, it's exactly like a classic hike, with one difference:
Here, we start from a wine estate, and, as all our wine tours are loops, we come back there!
The occasion of stretch your legs while enjoying the scenery (nothing more beautiful than the rolling vineyards in late spring and summer) and then taste some vintages from the local estate. So, red, white, rosé... Which do you prefer? Always in moderation, of course!
Good to know : Our wine hikes are all approximately 8 km long with moderate elevation changes. You don't need to be an experienced hiker to enjoy them!

VINEYARD AND HERITAGE
Visit Gaillac
The history of the city of Gaillac is closely linked to that of its vineyard. From its foundation in 972 by the Bishop of Albi, who went by the sweet name of Frotaire, through the Wars of Religion and up to today, it carries with it a tumultuous past... and one inseparable from its vineyard.
