LES VOLETS BLEUS - WINE WEEKEND & GOURMET WINE WALK a few years now - and, this year, we have something extra special to offer as part of the weekend - a Gourmet Wine Walk. between Narbonne and the sea. Organised by the local wine producers, it's split into 6 stages of roughly 1km. At each stop there is the next course of a meal - appetiser, starter, fish course, meat, cheese & dessert, all provided by an xcellent local catering company. To accompany the food, a number of different wine makers have a tasting station at each point, so you can taste a few wines, decide which one you like most, have a glass with your meal, then continue. at a speed of 1km/hour, it's definitely not a route march!! The walking is usually dry underfoot, rugged but not too demanding, with plenty of time to admire the views out to sea or over the countryside towards Narbonne, and enjoy the aromatic smells of the garrigue - rosemary, thyme, lavender and pine. Finally, on return to the start point, there is the opportunity to buy any of the wines you have enjoyed (allow approx 7kg in your luggage allowance for a 6-bottle case). a refresher for those who have some experience), drinks and dinner - then, over the weekend, we'll include a visit to our fantastic local food market (and picnic to enjoy all the goodies), a cruise on the Canal du Midi, and tasting visit to one of our local favourites, the olive oil mill - plus any other special requests which spring to mind. canal trip, Gourmet Walk - all you need to do is get to us.
