Additional Information

Setting out from the northern part of Montpellier, your local escort will guide you into the heart of the wild scrubland that sits in the shadow of Pic Saint Loup, a mountain held dear by the inhabitants of Montpellier. Wander the lanes of the ancient settlement of Les Matelles and fall under the charm of the stunning square in Saint Martin de Londres, a delightful medieval township with a rich history. It’s a perfect example of the Occitanie region’s allure, with its small homes brimming with flowers, glossy orange roofing tiles, and colourful shutters.

The excursion carries on along the shores of the Hérault in an uplifting environment. You’ll have the opportunity to make a stop at an historic bridge that offers a superb view of the river, then climb slightly higher to an exquisite viewpoint of the Pic Saint Loup and its sibling peak, the Hortus—an absolute treat for the eyes!

Lastly, it’s time to enjoy some nourishment in a picturesque spot near a small chapel, surrounded by vineyards. This is just a prelude to the exploration of a vineyard and more importantly, the wine tasting experience that is set for the afternoon.

David knows his way around unusual places! - We had a blast! Honestly, we had a great day. David is a great guide. We all liked the tasting at the Château Boisset estate the best, because the atmosphere was relaxed and since we spent more time there (with the delicious platters) we were able to chat and exchange about the wine, but not only that. . It was almost friendly, like an aperitif with friends more than a tasting visit. It was a great example of the warm welcome of our region. Honestly, it was great. The second visit was great too, because the estate guide had lots of information etc. The visits to the villages were also very popular. My husband and I knew a little (we live in Montpellier), since we often visit the area, but we still learned things, so that's a good sign. And our friends (an American couple) were delighted by what they saw. And the stops to see the panoramas of this beautiful region are well chosen. David knows his way around unusual places! And we felt like we were insiders to the land because of it – as if we too now knew the secrets. We all had a wonderful day that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

A wonderful tour! - We had a wonderful time on this tour. David is a very knowledgeable guide and an excellent host. The views from Pic Saint Loup were astoundingly beautiful! The wine tasting was great fun. Lunch was delicious and full of interesting conversation with the others on the tour with us. The aqueduct is an awesome feat of engineering and also architecturally interesting. All in all we would highly recommend this tour! C'était formidable !
