Get to know and enjoy French country life in a luxurious way in the vineyard - that's possible at Côté Mas! Cooking classes, Sunday brunch, an Airstream food truck and introductions to the region's wines are all on top. Fancy an artistic outing? The Bib'Art collection offers a variety of artistically painted wine barrels to admire. The Château de Pennautier is also known as the "Versailles of the Languedoc". The imposing 17th-century château sits amid idyllic vineyards, where wine workshops are also held. Crazy castles and winemaker extravaganzas - one of them is the Château Saint-Martin-de-Graves near Pézenas, which can be visited. Cruise along the Canal du Midi and stop for a glass of wine in between: This is possible at the wine station of the Domaine de la Gourgasse Neuve near Bèziers. You can get closest to the secrets of viticulture and wine production in the various cooperative wineries in Languedoc-Rousillon. Since 1994, three wines have been produced according to traditional Roman recipes at the Les Mas de Tourelles winery. Of course, you can also taste them on site! The Way of St. James is one of the world's most famous pilgrimages. It begins in the south of France and crosses the exciting landscape of the Pays d'Oc. A highlight besides the spectacular area: time-honoured sites such as the Abbey of Gellone. The port of Séte, known as the "wine port", was one of the largest of its kind in the 20th century and was partly specially designed for wine transport. Many historic buildings can still be visited there today. Also called the "Canal of the South", the Canal du Midi winds its way from Toulouse to the Mediterranean. Besides the 328 locks, bridges and aqueducts, you can also reach wineries in the Pays d'Oc directly from the water - and of course taste wines. The oldest road in France is the backbone of the Languedoc-Roussillon region and a cornerstone of the identity of the Pays d'Oc vineyards. Even today, you can see remnants of this road layout in the landscape.
