Day Tours

Wine Party

Spend a day touring the Languedoc-Roussillon vineyards with a wine expert by your side.

A Vin en Vacances one day vineyard tour is a great way to get to know the beautiful region of the Languedoc-Roussillon and the unique and diverse wines made here.

We collect you from your hotel or villa in the morning in our air-conditioned and comfortable vehicle and drop you back at the end of the tour. No need to worry about driving! Just sit back, relax, savour the wine and enjoy the sights!

We are based near to Carcassonne and close to the lovely Canal du Midi and offer wine tours in all the surrounding vineyard regions. We offer tours of the Minervois, Corbières, Cabardès, Malepère and Limoux plus tours to the Roussillon area where not only will you taste fabulous wines but also have the chance to visit some of the Cathar Castles.

Your Guide - Wendy Gedney

wendyAbout 10 years ago I enrolled on a wine appreciation course for fun but I had no idea what a fascinating subject it was and soon I was hooked. Four years later I graduated with a Diploma and became a wine teacher, I wanted to bring this fascinating subject to others and demolish the snobbish image of wine tasting.

10 years before all this I holidayed in the Languedoc, a part of France I knew very little about in those days. The moment I arrived I fell in love with this beautiful place; little did I know that my wine studies 10 years later would bring me back and start another chapter in my life running vineyard tours.

I love to teach people about wine and show them the part of France I have made my summer home. To take you to hidden vineyards off the beaten track, to meet wine makers you have probably never heard of, taste the passion in their wine and hear their incredible stories. I have a love and enthusiasm for this place and I am thrilled by the words people have used to describe their day with me. Here are a few of the Tripadvisor  headline comments I received in 2011

“A delight from start to finish”
“THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP TO SOUTHERN FRANCE”
“Wendy taught me in one day all I always wanted to know about wine”
“Our Wine trip with Wendy was the highlight of our holiday in France”
“Wine and history - Wendy is the best!”
“Best value experience in Languedoc”
“One of those lifetime memories”

Goat and sheep cheeses, crunchy olives and fine oils, honey from every part of the region, ripe tomatoes of very shape and colour and ripe figs and juicy peaches plus many other fruit and vegetables that will make your mouth water.
