WINE TOURISM IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE:
WINE IS A JOURNEY, LET US INVENT YOURS.
“Why not take some time out and head for the South – the Rhone Valley, Languedoc and Roussillon. I know these wine regions like the back of my hand. After all, I spent 25 years of my life promoting them. As a lover of wines and a close friend of the winegrowers who craft them, I like nothing better than to open the doors to their world for enthusiastic visitors, seek out those golden opportunities for authentic encounters and unearth some wine tourism treasures for you”. Jérôme Villaret, founder and director of Pépites du Sud.

Spring has arrived.
Take some time out and head for the South.
A big breath of fresh air !
It's time to wake up for the vine !
The winegrowers work to plow their vines. Il it can be done with atractor, some have decided to make traditions last by plowing their on horseback.
It is certainly a very hard work, slower and more physical for the winegrower, the duo formed with the animal allows not to crush the soil.
Come and take some time with these winegrowers and their horses during a stay in Cevennes.
Come to discover the best of Cevennes's winegrowers
The northern territory of Languedoc, the gifted winegrowers of the Cévennes create high-quality wines that have nothing to envy their better-known neighbors of the Côtes du Rhône or Pic Saint Loup. Be the first to discover the hidden treasures of the Cévennes before everyone rushes on them.

Why not a stay in the vineyards around Narbonne

ALL THE WINES YOU ENJOY HERE FOLLOW YOU HOME
The common denominator between the wine regions of Languedoc, Roussillon and the Rhone Valley is that they produce an incredible variety of great wines (AOC, IGP, organic…) stemming from the quality revolution wrought over the past 30 years and painstaking work by winegrowers, both men and women. When you take part in a Pépites wine tourism experience, you will be tasting some of those wines, and you’re bound to fall in love with at least one of them!
