Already in Roman times, Languedoc was a great vineyard which exported its wines throughout the Roman Empire.
The Musée de la Romanité in Nîmes retraces the epic of wine-growing history from these origins to the ancient period. A wonderful opportunity to understand the rich wine-growing past of this region.
Visit the Musée de la Romanité in a different way. This visit will take you through the museum around the history of wine through the ages, from the origins of wine, through its consumption during antiquity and its secrets. You will discover the story of Bacchus, mythical god of the vine and wine (but also of drunkenness and excess).
The visit will continue with a tasting of Roman wines from the Mas des Tourelles de Beaucaire. This estate has done experimental archaeological work to recreate wines from Roman times according to ancient recipes. These are wines with a unique and sometimes destabilizing taste for our contemporary palates.
A unique experience that provides the opportunity to immerse ourselves in this rich regional past.

Galus is the Latin word for cock and is thought to have given Gaillac its name. The second hypothesis would be its ancient Gallo-Roman name Galhac, meaning fertile. Secret and majestic, fragile and powerful, authentic and contemporary, this land cultivates nuances... and loves to share them with visitors. Epicurean souls will feel the charm of a holiday in this "little Tuscany" of the Tarn, where you let yourself be carried away by the senses. A sunset over the rolling vineyards, a glass of Gaillac wine and... time stands still. You'll feel great!
The winegrowers of Gaillac have worked hard to rediscover the historic grape varieties of the appellation. Discover Braucol, Loin de l'Oeil, Duras and Mauzac, grape varieties that deserve to be tasted.
Corbières Boutenac and La Clape are the rising stars of Languedoc. In the regional hierarchy, they are on the top of the pyramid. Low yields, strict production specifications, regional grape varieties, wines from these terroirs represent the Languedoc highest quality expression.
Enjoy a gourmet break to discover the future stars of Languedoc before everyone else.
