Wine tasting in Perpignan: between urban tradition and natural renaissance

Capital of Roussillon, Perpignan is much more than a historical and cultural center: it is also a nerve center of the Catalan wine scene. Long at the heart of the trade of Natural Sweet Wines, the city is today experiencing an oenological revival driven by the natural wine movement and a generation of committed winemakers.

Around the city, the vines of the Roussillon plain extend over soils of clay-limestone, rolled pebbles, or loam, depending on the neighborhoods and estates. But Perpignan's wine identity is expressed above all in its natural wine bars, urban cellars, and events around living wine.
Here, wine tasting in Perpignan becomes a friendly and authentic experience: meetings with passionate wine merchants, local food and wine pairing evenings, introductions to organic or natural wine tasting.

Some estates, located on the outskirts (in Saleilles, Canohès, or at the foot of Les Aspres], also welcome visitors for an immersive tasting, often in a rural setting but just a few minutes from the city center.

For lovers of natural wine in Perpignan, it is the ideal place to discover cuvées without inputs, with raw and sincere aromas, often vinified in amphora or concrete vats, with great respect for the living.

If you want to have a drink in town, you can go to Lady Jaja, on the Cathedral square, to Domaine Giocanti, or Au Grabuge
