What to expect
Your guide collects you and leads a small group on foot through Montpellier's city centre, stopping first at an active urban winery. You'll see where wine is made, chat with producers, and understand their approach to organics and natural winemaking. Next, you move between two wine bars where you'll taste through selections while learning how to evaluate colour, aroma, and flavour. A sommelier or knowledgeable host walks you through sensory analysis—how to actually taste, not just sip. Light snacks and food pairings help you notice how flavours shift alongside different wines. It's hands-on learning at a relaxed pace.
