The 10 Best Wine Tours & Tastings in Midi-Pyrénées, Occitanie

December 26, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Stretching from the wooded Dordogne to the towering peaks of the Pyrenees, this vast region is a popular winter sports destination, but one without the hordes that besiege the Alps. Spring's melted snows lure kayakers and rafting enthusiasts. In summer, amateur and advanced hikers take to the hills.

I highly recommend Jessica’s French Cheese 101 on-line workshop. Jessica’s enthusiasm is contagious and her knowledge of all that makes cheese “French” (ie delectable) is extraordinary ! The seminar was delightful & delicious!

Discover the wine estates of the Gulf of St Tropez aboard THE car made mythical by Louis de Funès in his many movies!

Take the time to look around, spend an unforgettable day discovering the vineyards of the Gulf of St Tropez with your open roof most of the time in the year or with a blanquet during the colder winter month and listen to the sweet engine of this typical French car. Departure from Cogolin or the place of your choice (within the Gulf of Saint-Tropez) on request and for free.

We had a great time at Chateau Minutey with Sonia - first a tour of the vineyard and an explanation of how it all works, a look around the cellars etc (they had just finished the harvest) - and then the wine tasting... After which we were welcomed in to the home kitchen of Capucine who taught us (very patiently!) some delicious recipes which we then ate for lunch on the terrace with a lovely bottle of wine. Highly recommend! Sophie, Neville & Brigitte! :)

This was was a great informative tour . The best place to get on was just outside the tourist information office on the Tolouse centre ramblas not far from the Air France office . Not well signposted. Once your on we were given a warm welcome by Louise and given headphones which are plugged into the bus and you choose your language. The bus then takes you on an hour and a half tour of the city and the descriptive service is very good . It's very relaxed and if you want to get off at any point at a landmark then you can . They do tell you that it will be 2 hours before they return , which gives you plenty of time to explore . The seats are comfortable and can be adjusted width ways and backwards and forwards . We stayed on the tour the whole way round and really enjoyed it . Would definitely recommend to get your bearings in the city . It cost us 14 euros each to pay as you board which we thought was good value .

7. Toulouse: Walking through history

Tourist Information Center, Donjon du Capitole Square Charles de Gaulle, 31000 Toulouse, France Olga Valmer

As a private tour guide I have a privilege to work with people who travel at their own pace. Most of them come to France to expand their knowledge about the country history and culture but also to relax and to have a good time. My walking tour is designed to create for my clients a relaxed atmosphere that makes them feel at ease in a foreign culture. My goal is not only to show them the important monuments and landmarks but also to share with them my love for France, its culture and its people. While striving to offer my clients a good service, I try to make their stay in Toulouse enjoyable and unforgettable.
