Vinaigrerie Cyril Codina

Cyril, the owner, and his team will share the passion of vinegar with you : he is a wine and vinegar maker. More than 60 traditional products (vinegars, wines, olive oils, and aperitifs) will lead you to unexpected tasting, such as a candied fig balsamic vinegar, or an olive oil, pressed from fermented olives and which is rarely produced in France. A treat for the eyes and the tastebuds, for the whole family !

Firstly, congratulations on being one of the very few shops open in Lagrasse on a rather miserable January weekday. Secondly, thank you for your amazingly cool shop, and your warm welcome - very informative but with no sales push. I asked you about what vinegar to use with chips!! On your recommendation we ended up buying the 15 year aged vinegar and it is fabulous! We will definitely be back to try your other flavoured vinegars and your balsamic vinegars, all of which look amazing. Thank you, we really enjoyed our visit.

Calais Wine Superstore

We are a British-owned, 100% independent business whose owners have been in the Cross Channel trade since it began in 1993! We stock a huge range of wines and beers at UK duty-free prices. Not having to pay UK duty means we can pass on savings of up to 60% on UK retail prices - on average, this means you save £4 a bottle on UK supermarket prices - often the savings are even more. We aim to have everyday low prices but whenever we can, we'll give you even better deals and special offers. We offer free crossings on both the Ferry and on Euro Tunnel. Check out our website for more details.

We have been visiting Calais Wine for 10 years and think it is a great business delivering great wine and great value with excellent service. We order online and enjoy our free travel on Eurotunnel. We make an overnight trip and love exploring the area. The wine is excellent value and a wide range available.

Majestic Wine Calais- Coquelles

Majestic Wine Calais is the French operation of Majestic Wine Warehouses, the UK's leading wine specialist. We have two stores in Coquelles and Calais, selling much of the same wine as Majestic Wine UK but at far cheaper prices due to the low duty. Passionate about our product, we have a fantastic range at Majestic Wine Calais of over 350 wines from almost every winemaking region.

Reviewed By DurhamUKStuart

We always stop at Majestic Coquelles to buy wine and beer to take home after our holiday in France...prices are good, and we save pounds on UK prices for similar wines. Our bargain this year was a stack of Belgian beers, and we'll be sampling those soon. The shop staff are really easy to get on with, Pat is an old friend now, and this time around we enjoyed a chat with Jimmy...a fine man indeed. We order in advance and our trolley was ready for us when we got there...what an easy way to add a little extra pleasure to the holiday. We'll be back, of course, and wish all the staff well. Recommended 100%, well worth a few extra pounds on the overall bill to get such good quality wines.

Bastide du Laval

Located in the heart of the regional national park, the Bastide du Laval Olive Oil Mill provides visitors with a unique opportunity to discover the landscape and traditions of Provence. Set against the cliffs from which the stone for the construction of the original village of Cadenet was quarried, the mill brings a feeling of authenticity. Far more than a simple olive oil mill, Bastide du Laval is keen to develop a friendly and educational approach to the fascinating world of olive trees, olive oil and, of course, Provence. Olive tourism serves as an alternative to traditional tourism, offering indepth knowledge of the olive oil industry and capturing the true essence of the culture surrounding the domain of the olive tree. The olive oils produced at the mill as well as the wines from the domain itself are sold in the boutique, along with a selection of local products.
