The many fields of vines make a variety of wines: red, white, sparkling and rosé. To discover more about the local wines, we recommend that guests visit nearby vineyards and sample as many as possible! Albi (30kms) is a vibrant city dominated by a massive pink brick, gothic cathedral.

Toulouse, the ancient regional capital, continues to be a dynamic and vibrant city. Only an hour’s drive away - and less than an hour away from Gaillac by train - this city has enough to warrant a separate holiday !
Toulouse is a place of culture, gastronomy, fine architecture and retail therapy - very beautiful, very chic and very French!
