Can you tell me when and where the wine festivals are in the Languedoc region of France?

Question

My husband and I own a new home in Columbiers and visited it in April 2007. But we've heard that there are wine festivals in the area in September or October. We'd like to find out when and where these are held so that we can plan our visit for 2008 accordingly.

Answer 1

Hi

most wine growing areas have fetes to celebrate the end of the vendange. Cities have pretty wild Ferias. Villages often have fetes with bulls running in the streets, live music, etc.

The dates for 2008 are not yet available.
