Fantastic tour and guide
GlobeTrotting764317, Dec 2024
This tour was truly delightful and especially so since it was much more than visiting a couple of wine yards. You can expect to see some really beautiful parts of Languedoc including green landscapes, mountains and pittoresk villages. The guide and driver Laurent was very generous with his time and he will charm you with his insights of not only wine but also general knowledge of the region. He speaks good english too. We visited two wine yards of different size and the hosts at those places gave us a lot of insights into the wine making and of course plenty of tasting as well. When you make a stop Laurent will have cooling bags with both water and even more wine. We had the included lunch at another fantastic place. I really recommend to experience this.
Top wine tour of Faugères with great guide
CydneyR, Dec 2024
Laurent was an excellent guide and super friendly host. His relationships with local vintners meant we had great tastings with fun discussion. He took us to a UNESCO heritage site ancient windmill for a wonderful view over the vineyards and then a delish lunch in his own garden. Great day!
A magical trip around the vineyards

My friends and I signed up for the wine tour and picnic with Laurent in mid September and had a fantastic time.
Laurent is very personable, outgoing and passionate about this area of France. We visited two wineries and learned about the process of winemaking in addition to tasting the beautiful wines. The highlight of the trip was a relaxing lunch in Laurent’s garden where he presented charcuterie, cheeses, pates, etc from the area with some delightful wines. A lovely ending to a great trip around the local wineries. Highly recommended - thank you Laurent!
Informative trip with great host.

A really great trip.
We met Laurent at the tourist office and headed North out of Beziers to Autignac and the Domaine La Folie Vigneronne. There were just the two of us on the trip but Laurent has room for 6 or possibly 8 people in his people carrier. Frank, the husband of the crazy wine grower, gave us an enormous amount of information on wine production in very good English and was able to answer all of our questions. The wines were delicious.
We then headed further North to Cabrerolles to the Domaine du Meteore, a vineyard based around a 10,000 year old meteor crater. Once again our hostess (a lovely English lady) was very informative and the wine was superb. The syrah bubbly made from grapes growing in the crater was exceptional. We tried and enjoyed all their wines and managed to have a whole bottle of their Perseides red at the Patio restaurant in Beziers a couple of nights later.
Throughout our tour Laurent was charming and informative in quite good English. He took us to his home town for a lunch of bread, cold meat, cheese and wine which we thoroughly enjoyed whilst his wife played the piano that they had just been given in the background.
Prior to heading back to Beziers Laurent took us to a very old windmill set on a hill with 360 degree views. A great day out . Thank you Laurent!
