Escape Montpellier for a day on this tour of rural farms in Languedoc, where you'll taste the excellent wines and olive oils produced in the south of France.
Oil & Wine Tasting in Languedoc
On the day of the tour, we'll meet at 9:30 am at the Esplanade de l'Europe in Montpellier. From there, we'll leave the city behind and head to rural Languedoc to taste the fine products produced in this area of the South of France.
Our first stop will be at a traditional vineyard, where we'll learn all about the stages of wine production. We'll then move on to the winery to enjoy a tasting of Languedoc wines. Thanks to the region's Mediterranean climate, the vines here produce great vintages.
We'll continue our tour of the Languedoc by visiting a family-owned olive estate. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and a 16th century mill, we'll learn how the family produces their olive oil, undoubtedly one of the most outstanding Mediterranean products, as an indispensable ingredient in the local cuisine.
After visiting the farm, we'll taste various local products including olive oil, olives, vinegars and a liqueur called farigoule. Tasting the exquisite flavours of the south of France will be a truly memorable experience!
Finally, at 12:30 pm, we'll return to the starting point in Montpellier.
