Further vineyard experiences
For those who wish to venture further afield, Bacchus and Clio can curate bespoke visits for small and larger groups to Provence, Languedoc, Alsace and Northern Catalonia (Roussillon) upon request.
Endless fields of purple lavender will signal your arrival in Provence. This scenic destination is highly regarded for its roman ruins, artists, monasteries and traditional rosé wines.
In Languedoc, the city of Carcassonne – a UNESCO World Heritage site – and the famed Medieval Chateaux Cathares are a historic backdrop to emerging winemakers employing contemporary techniques and establishing their own voice in the world of wine.
Bacchus and Clio can also guide you through Alsace, a region defined by its changing of hands between France and Germany for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This has made a lasting mark on Alsatian culture, as well as its singular gastronomy and winemaking techniques.
The influence of other countries is also felt in northern Catalonia, also known as Roussillon. With vineyards just a short distance from Catalonia in Spain, this is an alluring opportunity to visit two countries over several days. In Roussillon, we recommend a visit to some spectacularly beautiful vineyards that look out across the Mediterranean sea, and where producers use unique aging processes for their wine in glass demi-johns. From here, you’ll hear the call of eastern Spain, for a taste of Cava.
