Explore the vast and varied Languedoc-Roussillon, from crystalline beaches to craggy mountains, and discover the small, independent family wineries that dot the landscape.
The regions of Languedoc and Roussillon are coastal Mediterranean areas in the South of France, stretching from Provence to the Pyrenees at the Spanish border. On a map, the area doesn’t appear formidable, yet one in every three appellation-designated French wines are produced here.
Hoke Harden will be your guide and sommelier. He is a Certified Specialist of Wine, attended the FWS Master Program for Vins de
Provence and the Maison de Rosé, is a US Ambassador for Pineau des Charentes, and a BNIC Certified Cognac Educator.

• Domaine Delsol Picpoul de Pinet
• Château La Baronne Les Chemins Blanc, Corbières
• La Sarabande Pig Orange, Faugères
• Mont de Marie Aramonix, VdF
• Fitou, Château de Ségure
