Wine Tours

For over 10 years Vin en Vacances has been delighting people with our fabulous wine tours from Carcassonne and our wine holidays in Languedoc and other parts of France and Spain. Unlike other tour agencies we do not subcontract, we research and guide our own tours by drawing on our extensive experience, high level of customer service and vast wine knowledge supported by globally recognised wine qualifications. But what sets us apart from other wine tour companies is our skill at imparting knowledge in an entertaining way.

We did two full day tours with Wendy and Kate and totally fell in love with the area. We tasted many wines at four vineyards, toured several quaint villages with uniquely French scenery. Their extensive knowledge of the wine making processes and vineyard peculiarities really expanded our knowledge base. We were impressed with the quality of wine in the region and can’t wait to come back! Thank you Wendy and Kate!!

Wendy arranged the most incredible trip for my group of 40 guests who travelled to Carcassonne to celebrate my wife's birthday. We visited a wine chateau in the Minervois countryside where we were greeted by the owners and tasted many of their delicious varietals. The had the most perfect al fresco lunch outside on the grounds of the chateau then enjoyed a cruise on the Canal du Midi. Wendy's team were incredibly friendly and seemed to be having just as much fun as we were. It was truly a perfect day and the highlight of our time in France. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

This was a great evening. We tasted different wines with each course and both food and wines were really good. The surprise was a muscat to drink with the cheeses and it really worked. Highly recommend it.

Kate was fantastic again and the variety of an olive oil tasting, a trip on the Canal Du Midi including wine, a trip to Minerve plus a great array of wines gave us another thoroughly enjoyable experience. The service of Vin En Vacances is fantastic and has never disappointed. A great trip!

We've had the pleasure of two work trips organised with Vin en Vacances, and both have been fabulous. Forget your usual tours around a winery; this is always special, getting to small, local producers and making us feel like we've had a real treat.

My husband and I spent a fantastic day with Wendy near the end of our visit to the south of France. For us she was part wine expert, part tour guide, part history buff, and part limo driver.

We spent a wonderful day at the Narbonne Food Hall followed by lunch at salt flats in Gruissan then went wine tasting, it was an absolute pleasure and privilege to spend the day with someone as knowledgeable as Kate, We left full of food and knowledge, I'd definitely recommend.
