Stay on June 17, 2006
Excellent stay. Perfectly organized. Jean and Sandrine are warm and welcoming. So talented. Magnificent location. Delicate decor. The food and breakfast were perfect. Two lovely, interesting people—spontaneous and down-to-earth. They know how to help their guests connect with one another, as well as with the culture and natural treasures of the area. We felt like we were staying with old friends. I almost forgot to mention how comfortable the place was. Your recommendations for visiting wineries are also top-notch. They’re very different, so there’s no repetition. However, we think the choice of restaurant was a mistake. Not only is it nothing like a gourmet restaurant, but the service was barely polite, the food was of poor quality, and the portions were tiny...A real disaster. We think this restaurant undermines the quality of everything else you’ve offered us. Frankly, they don’t deserve you.

SUPER
The stay was very well prepared and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Great organization. The hosts were welcoming and very nice. Magnificent locations; super meals and a really good restaurant.
I felt like a princess for 3 days.
Thank you Vinotrip

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!

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!

Perfect
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.

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.

A wonderful stay
We had an excellent stay in early July—it was very well organized.
Sandrine and Jean gave us a wonderful welcome at L'Orée des vignes.
We felt right at home: their attention to detail, helpful advice, and quality service—everything was perfect. Wonderful wine tastings on the first day at Clos Bagatelle with Marie, and on the second day with Ludivine during our visit to the Domaine de Soustres. We met people who are passionate about their estates and their wines… We had a fantastic wine trip. Well done and thank you!
