About Event

Forget your commercial wine tasting trips.

🙃 This is your chance to see Tampliers houses of 13th century, visit medieval Roman acqueducts, drink with local winemakers, have real wine with local, non-touristic 3-course dinners & lunches to enjoy real French cuisine.
I've been discovering France since 2018: and I'd like to show you the real places, wines, and cuisine no one knows anything about.

You'll be trying Cassoulet, côte de boeuf and of course... The Pelardón cheese and many-many more local foods that are typical to the region (oysters, confit du canard, Cévennes honey etc)
