Between ponds, sea and reclaiming vineyards

Famous for its stranded ocean liner, the Lydia, Port-Barcarès is also a nature-oriented town, with its ponds, wetlands, and dunes. While vines are less prominent here than elsewhere, the sandy soils around the pond are ideal for experimenting with light and floral wines. A few local producers are working to revive organic viticulture and create unique wine tourism experiences, particularly around local food, short supply chains, and seafood and wine pairings. An ideal place to discover a discreet yet promising viticulture.
