Discover Vingrau and the wild landscapes of Roussillon on an easy hike to the Gorges du Gouleyrous, just 30 minutes from Perpignan. Starting from Domaine Torredemer-Mangin, this 6 km route takes you through the vineyards, scrubland, and emblematic limestone landscapes of Vingrau.
Accompanied by your guide, you set off to discover nature, biodiversity, and local heritage. The route takes you near the Caune de l'Arago, the famous prehistoric site of Tautavel, where archaeological research has shed light on the earliest human occupations of the region. The Caune is closed to the public, but it is still possible to climb up. Be careful, the climb is challenging! It remains optional!
After about 1 hour of walking, the hike ends at the Gorges du Gouleyrous, carved by the Verdouble at the foot of the limestone cliffs. This spectacular natural site offers a beautiful interlude in the heart of the Roussillon landscapes, with the possibility of enjoying free time by the water and, depending on conditions, swimming in the gorges..
Back at the domaine, the experience ends with a wine tasting of Domaine Torredemer-Mangin. After exploring the landscapes and vines of the area, you will be able to discover the domaine's cuvées and chat with the winemaker about his work and terroir.
An ideal experience for combining hiking, wine tourism, discovering landscapes and heritage, and tasting wines in the Pyrénées-Orientales, with family, friends, or as a couple.

Our approach
Another way to discover the Catalan vineyards
At Viny'aquí, we believe wine is also discovered on foot. Our oenorandos connect landscapes, terroirs and human encounters along accessible, authentic routes.
This experience in Northern Catalonia helps you understand how the winegrowers work a land shaped by wind, stone and sea — favouring soft mobility and support for local producers.
Your guide
Julien CAPPIELLO
Passionate about the landscapes of Roussillon and the links between nature and winegrowing, I accompany you on wine hikes designed as true immersive experiences, to disconnect and reconnect. Between hiking, local culture, and visits to wine estates, I design each itinerary to offer a balance between the pleasure of walking, discovering the terroir, and moments of sharing. My goal: to offer a simple, accessible, and authentic approach to wine tourism, where you take the time to understand the landscapes you traverse as much as the wines you taste.
