I offer guided visits and day tours either for House guests or from your hotel or holiday home. These day tours focus on our region's special wine and food incorporating local history and culture.
Oenotourisme is just developing here and the various regional wine 'syndicats' arrange exciting excursions, walks, fetes and soirees throughout the year in which we can participate.
Here are a few examples of one day itineraries to choose from:
Cathar castles and the Corbieres
Montpeyroux and the Coteaux de Languedoc
Minervois and the Canal du Midi
Ancient greeks, Amphorae and Agde
Visit to a local market & cooking class
One day wine tasting tour in Faugeres or St Chinian
