Wine Tourism in the Pyrénées-Orientales
At the foot of the Pyrenees and along the Mediterranean, the Roussillon vineyard is one of the oldest in France. Spread over nearly 21,500 hectares with more than 300 days of sunshine a year, the Pyrénées-Orientales bring together tastings, estate visits and walks among the vines. France's leading region for natural sweet wines (Banyuls, Maury, Rivesaltes), it can be explored all year round, most often with small growers committed to organic farming.
