Reserve Naturelle du Neouvielle

Reviewed By chrispR6399BO - Sun Valley, United States

Gorgeous part of the world with stunning view and beautiful lakes - in some of the lakes you can see trout cruising around feeding on the surface - hiking is quite vertical but worth the effort- we had a 1000 foot gain in elevation on our hike- if you have mobility issues this might not be for you - the road up there is barely 1 lane in spots with lots of switchbacks but the views make it worth while - just go slow and let the locals and the aggressive drivers pass you.

Domaine Berta Maillol

Family winery since over four years is between sea and mountains in the town of Banyuls-sur-mer, that our 15 hectares of vines cling to the steep slopes. Terracing is a true architectural work across the mountains. Any mechanization is difficult, the work is mainly manual.

Mas Baux

We are a small, fully-operational vineyard in the south of France practicing organic growing, cultivation, harvesting and production methods. Our winemaker, Serge Baux, is a man of passion whose philosophy is rooted in a respect for nature. Only a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean, mid-way between Perpignan and Canet along the ancient Roman VIA DOMITIA (containing the oldest vineyards of the Mediterranean countries), the Baux estate is spread out over 20 hectares, 12 of which are planted with vines in full production. A completely restored 18th century Catalan Mas houses the vinification, aging and bottling processes. We are also lucky to have a unique terroir, found in very few other places in the world, covered in naturally-formed round stones sitting on a clay bedrock, and we boast strictly manual green harvests with highly-selective hand-sorting of our grapes, producing exceptionally high-quality wines.

Domaine Preignes Le Vieux

Historical tour : travel through time, visit the 12 thcentury chapel, the chateau built in 1202 by the Viscount of Pezenas, William of Pezenas. Not forgetting the royal dovecote with more than 150 nesting boxes, that dates from the 15th century and served as an indication of the estate's wealth. In the winery, discover the secrets of a traditional vinification method that respects the fruit and the characteristics of the grape varieties. Guided, interactive tour, during which any questions are welcome. Tasting; the most popular part of the tour... We encourage a genuinely shared tasting experience, in which people talk about the wines. Our objective is to help visitors understand the wine and what we try to achieve. Essentially, it is an introduction to tasting, a convivial, interactive occasion at which visitors are encouraged to express their feelings about the wines.

This was great. The guide was really informative and enthusiastic about the history of this marvelous building. In addition we learned a lot about the wine making process, followed by an excellent and generous wine tasting with plenty of information about all of the different wines. The tour was given in both French and English. I would strongly recommend it.

Reviewed By chaletaria

Beautiful abbey just outside Narbonne (you need transport). In an excellent state of repair and an informative leaflet (although the downloadable PDF is better- available French, English, Spanish). The cloisters are interesting, as are the gardens, but the piece de resistance is the church with its incredible stained glass windows. We came back in the evening to watch the light show (10-midnight). We were concerned that we would just see everything again, but in the evening, but the show was completely different and an excellent evening experience. The beautifully done show in the tour d’honneur/ courtyard (french only) was the highlight, as was a nice light show in the Louis XIV courtyard. Not too expensive (unless you opt for their meal+show, which we didn’t).

We saw this crazy place on Tour de France footage, and so made the effort to get there. We absolutely loved it. Everything we were hoping it would be!
