Candlelit galleries and endless oak barrels set the stage as your guide reveals the region's centuries-old winemaking traditions. In this cool, stony silence, history and flavor meet — and your visit concludes with a guided tasting of Corbières vintages, a true immersion into the soul of southern French wine.

Lunch in a Local Restaurant Savor a leisurely regional lunch in a charming bistro or auberge, where Corbières flavors shine on every plate.

With vegetarian options available, the meal offers more than just nourishment — it's an immersion into the culinary heart of Occitanie, where tradition, terroir, and hospitality blend seamlessly.

Lagrasse Village & Medieval Abbey Wander into Lagrasse, ranked among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, where cobbled streets, stone bridges, and artisan workshops evoke centuries of southern French life.

Against the backdrop of the Corbières hills, this stop blends architectural grandeur, living tradition, and the timeless charm that makes Lagrasse unforgettable.

From silky, wine-based vinegars to bold gourmet creations, each tasting reveals an unexpected depth that delights the palate. This final stop is a celebration of curiosity and craftsmanship, leaving you with a memorable taste of the Corbières that goes far beyond wine.
