Regional Wines
The whole region is dominated by vineyards, and much of life revolves around the production of wine.

Languedoc-Rousillon claims to be the largest vineyard in the world, and anyone who has spent a holiday here wouldn't argue with this.
Saint-Chinian
The Saint-Chinian appellation, set on both sides of the Orb and the Vernazobres. The production area is limited to dry rocky slopes or terraces, oriented in most cases towards the sea. There is an extensive range of wines of the Saint-Chinian cru that will satisfy a good number of culinary recipes. There are rich and full-bodied wines to accompany most meat and game and lighter wines that are excellent with the cheese course.
wine 2
Faugères
The Faugères vineyards, like all of the Coteaux du Languedoc, go back to Roman times. Most of the vines are grown in rocky stony soil, and produce a red wine that is the perfect accompaniment for meats and game. Most of the caves have people who are quite happy to spend time with visitors and to explain their craft and their life producing some of the best red wine in the world.
