The gîte is nestled in the heart of the Gaillac vineyards, and the owners are winegrowers themselves. The estate is less than 2km from the gîte, with 11 hectares of organically-farmed vines producing AOP Gaillac wine.
Wine in the Tarn has a long history! You're in a vineyard that dates back thousands of years, with the first traces of vines appearing in the 6th century.
You can wander the picturesque lanes of the many hilltop villages and bastides in the area (Puycelsi, Castelnau), discover the region's rich historical heritage, taste the estate's wines, or take part in outdoor activities. The Aiguelèze leisure centre is less than 4km away, with a golf club, water games park, canoe and paddles for hire.
