You are a wine lover or expert and wish to stay close to the French vineyards? The Olydea vacation homes are made for you!
France is nicknamed "the Land of Wine" and rightly so! Our wine growers have forged a historic reputation over the years, linked to a unique know-how, an unparalleled diversity and a rich terroir. There are more than 3,000 different wines, whether red, white, rosé, sweet or mellow...
Many vineyards offer visits and tastings to learn more about wine making.
Olydea offers you to stay close to three great French wines:
The Minervois PDO
The Minervois PDO is produced in the south of France, in the heart of the Languedoc. It is born thanks to a Mediterranean climate with oceanic influences and some harsh winters in altitude. Winegrowers can produce white, rosé or red wine according to the rules imposed by the PDO.
Many vineyards open their doors in the heart of the Aude to teach you more about wine making, their know-how and to let you taste their wines.
