Wine tasting
For a wine tasting under the watchful eye of a professional wine merchant and accompanied by charcuterie boards and artisanal cheeses, Toulouse is the ideal destination!
Toulouse, capital of wines of the South-West
The wines of the South-West have elected Toulouse as their capital. The Ville Rose is located in the heart of a vast wine region that offers a wide variety of vineyards and terroirs. Cahors, Madiran, Gaillac, Fronton…some of the most famous appellations of the South-West. The history of these vineyards dates back to the Middle Ages and the ancient grape varieties are today cultivated with passion by a new generation of winegrowers driven by a desire for flavour and authenticity.
Wine appreciation and tastings
Toulouse is the ideal destination for sampling local wines, as well as those from further afield. The passionate wine merchants welcome you to share their old favourites and latest discoveries, and they know just how to tailor red and white wines to your taste, all accompanied by gourmet boards of local charcuterie and cheeses.
