Great stay!
What can I say about this weekend....perfect. the l'orée des vignes guest house is a warm and welcoming place. Sandrine and Jean are very attentive and know lots of places to visit. A tourist agency! :-)
The 2 wineries, Clos Bagatelle in Saint-Chinian and Les Soustres in Montady, are very present and welcomed us magnificently.
Very good meal at Le Lavoir.
Super stay! We recommend it with our eyes closed.

An unforgettable stay
Excellent stay at l'orée des vignes, a warm welcome, a couple of caring hosts who listen to you. Sandrine and Jean are always smiling and ready to listen, and you feel as if you're staying with long-standing friends.
Super in the wineries, whether Clos Bagatelle in Saint-Chinian or Soustres in Montady.
As for the restaurants, you'd expect more class from a gastro, but they're still great places to eat. As for l'Écluse, a perfect welcome, a friendly setting on the banks of the Canal du Midi and a great terrace.
An excellent stay!

2 stays in one
We particularly liked the concept of a day inland in Saint Chinian and a day by the sea in Gruissan. The guest room is perfect. Sandrine and Jean are top notch, very attentive. The room was well equipped and the bedding was very comfortable.
In Saint Chinian, at Clos Bagatelle, the welcome and the quality of the wines are perfect.
In Gruissan, at Château de Bouis, the range of wines is small but interesting, with more to come in a few weeks.
The meal in Gruissan at La Cambuse du Saunier was very good.
The gourmet meal at Le Lavoir was very disappointing. The only downside of the stay was the rushed service, a decent setting but nothing more, and dishes that were anything but sublime.
Overall, a very good stay.

Great stay
We had a very pleasant stay organized by Vinotrip.
In terms of accommodation, we were pleasantly surprised by the guest house concept at Sandrine and Jean, who warmly welcomed us to their sumptuous property.
Our first tasting was at the magnificent Château Lebouis. On the downside, the tasting was very quick, with little choice or explanation of the wines and the estate.
We enjoyed a delicious meal at the restaurant Le Lavoir, where the cuisine was refined and copious.
The trip ended on a high note with a wine tasting at Clos Bagatelle hosted by the owner, who made the activity very interesting.
I highly recommend this vinotrip in Occitania!

I gave this box to my partner and we had a magical weekend.
We went from surprise to surprise.
The hosts were adorable and we discovered some great places.
I highly recommend it.

wine romance
very good welcome, everything was fine.
The only downside was that 2 visits were cancelled, as we had to drive an hour to get there, so we lost the Sunday afternoon, which was a shame.
We discovered this magnificent region and will return to Château de Vernède, a magnificent place.

Very good stay! Perfect welcome and quality of accommodation at Chateau de la Vernède!!!
Visits to the wineries were varied and complementary, with different approaches.
High-quality catering, each with a different gastronomic touch.
Very well organized!

Excellent
Vinotrip, a great concept that took us to a wide variety of wineries in mid-May. We met people who were passionate about their work. Every time we visited, we received a warm welcome and learned about the life and work of winegrowers.
The organization of our stay was perfect! The choice of accommodation, the restaurants where we were expected...
We recommend this trip and look forward to repeating the experience in other regions of France.

Very pleasant stay
5 (very interesting) visits and tastings in very different places. Warm welcome, unforgettable meal at the 'Au Lavoir' restaurant (average meal at 'La Résidence').

Great discoveries!
We had an excellent stay at Château de la Vernède, which we particularly recommend. We were made to feel very welcome in the various estates and restaurants. It's a wine region well worth discovering!

Super
We had a very pleasant stay, and the people we met were all very friendly and interesting, even though the estates and wineries were very different.
For the uninitiated wine lovers that we are, we learned a lot.
The choice of places to visit and eat, as well as the accommodation, was perfect.

Very pleasant stay
Excellent stay at the edge of the vineyards, with a very warm welcome. The welcome at the Clos Bagatelle and Domaine de la Baume wineries was perfect, as was the quality of the wines on offer.
The meal at Le Lavoir was very good, despite the somewhat inexperienced staff. All in all, an excellent stay!
