The vineyards are perched on rocky hillsides and the roads wind round and round as we make our way towards our first vineyard visit in the heart of the Cru Boutenac. This is an area dedicated to the culture of the vine since Roman times and currently the only cru in the Corbières. We will take a walk through the vines\, some of them more than a century old.

Your route will take you along the narrow cobbled ‘ruelles’ and along the way\, between the town and the abbey\, in squares and behind facades\, there are stories to be told and a fascinating medieval history to be revealed. You will have the chance to take a browse through some of the small boutiques and also visit the vinegar maker and taste his wares.\nNow it’s time to head off to our final visit of the day in a nearby village and in a different part of the Corbières than our morning visit.
