Cycling tour in vineyards Languedoc South France

Bike tour in the Languedoc Wine area surrounded by great landcape.
4 days / 3 nights

This bike tour is a good excuse to visit the wine cellars in the Hérault Valley not far from Montpellier. The ground and the soils offer a wide range of different wines. This program includes visits of selected wine estates. The winegrowers respect organic agriculture or biodynamy principles.

At Languedoc Nature, we know pretty well the area, so we organise quality routes. It means that we design the itinerary throughout roads with low traffic to let you discover peacefully the landscapes in Languedoc.

The choice of the hotels, gites, B&B, restaurants and other suppliers is one of our main concern. We are willing our clients to experience the best during their holidays with us.

Travel advisories: 

" My partner Leigh and I took The Cycling Tour in Languedoc Vinyards - Coeur d’Hérault in late October and experienced the most wonderful hospitality and service. From the first meeting at Beziers Airport until the memorable end of the tour back in the beautifully picturesque Domaine de Salente with the hostess Benedicte it was a splendid, tailored tour. Both Leigh and I are vegetarian and this was fully catered for at each restaurant. At each overnight stay we were met with wonderful local warmth and hospitality and both Frédéric and Fabienne were great and very attentive hosts. Highly recommended " - Nigel
