Special
Wine Tour Week in Gaillac from Puech Blanc for groups of 6 to
8 people |
Welcome to my wine tours
of the Gaillac region. My name is Andrea and I have lived at Puech
Blanc between Albi and Gaillac, for the last 9 years with my family.
I offer you a special wine tour package which includes your accommodation
here at Puech Blanc. Your wine tour is based from Puech Blanc which
is a beautiful 250 year old wine-farm built from the local white
stone and surrounded by vineyards.
If you are passionate about
great wine, simply enjoy good wine or want to broaden your interest
in wine, then this is a tour you will love. The wine domains you
will visit are the best in Gaillac where you will get an insider
view, visiting their vineyards, tasting wines and talking to the
winemakers.
I am of Dutch origin and speak fluent
English and French and will be your personal local wine expert and
guide for each day of your wine tour week. I have many years experience
in the hotel industry both in France and the UK, and so will be
able to give you an insiders perspective. You can ask advice on
wine, choosing, exporting or just drinking it !

The vineyards of Gaillac was one of the
first growing centers in Gaul. The three different wine-growing
areas and the age of the vineyards enable Gaillac to offer numerous
traditional grape varieties. The diversity of the Gaillac vineyards
means that they can produce a great variety of elaborate wines,
a wide range of dry, sweet and "perle" white wines, red
and rose wines as well as sparkling wines.
Gaillac is an exciting place for a wine
tour. Enjoy the sights, aromas, and flavors of Gaillac as you increase
your knowledge of wines. Discover regional cuisine in local wine
village restaurants offering typical fare from south west France.
