Visiting the Hérault region? The Saint-Chinian area is worth a detour. Here are some ideas centered around wine and local produce.
Visit a wine estate
The best way to understand the terroir is to meet the winemakers. At Domaine de Cambis, in Berlou, we offer visits to the estate and the cellar, with a tasting. It's an opportunity to see the shale up close and understand what makes the wines of this cru so fine.
The landscapes of Berlou
Berlou is a small village perched on the foothills of the Cévennes, surrounded by shale hillsides and garrigue. Trails, viewpoints, and the preserved nature of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park: an ideal setting for a stroll between two tastings.
Markets and local products
Village markets and local producers (cheeses, honey, olive oil, cold cuts) nicely complement a wine tourism day. Enough to put together a local picnic – with moderation.
How to get to Berlou?
Berlou is located in the northern part of the Saint-Chinian appellation, about 45 minutes from Béziers and its motorway interchange. The road climbs towards the hillsides: allow a little time to enjoy the scenery.
