Wine tourism

Here in the Languedoc, wine tells a story of a land and a life. It’s a privileged encounter with the man or the woman who made it. In the Béziers Méditerranée region, vines and wine are a religion and a way of life. Come and meet our winegrowers in private wine cellars or cooperatives; listen, look, smell and taste the nuances of all the wines of Southern France.

The vine stock is the legend of Béziers Méditerranée. Its roots dig deep into 25 centuries of the history of a land blessed by Bacchus. It’s the landscape that forms our great wines. Like the men and women of the region, Béziers Méditerranée wines are delightful, distinctive, warm and refined. From the foothills of the Cévennes to the shores of the Mediterranean, these red, white and rosé wines are made from a wide range of grape varieties and soils and offer excellent value for money.

The fruit and vegetables in our friendly, colourful markets contain all the heat of the sun. And of course there’s the olive oil, which is so good for your health! The ‘Haut Cantons’ in the nearby hinterland offer the authentic flavours of chestnuts, mushrooms, charcuterie and goats’ cheese to local gastronomy. One breath of the sea breeze and you’re dreaming of fresh fish and seafood, “ragoût de seiches” (squid stew) or “bouille du pécheur” (fisherman’s stew) – which used to be cooked on the beach, at the mouth of the river Orb, at Valras-Plage and Sérignan. ‘Béziers Méditerranée’ is not just a melting-pot of products and recipes; its chefs also like to be creative. So take on their spirit of discovery and love of good food “with a taste of the sea and a hint of the mountains”, all washed down with delicious wines.
