Midi Pyrenees Wine tasting Holidays

Straddling 2 of the largest wine-producing regions of France, the Midi Pyrenees still has a few treasures of its own. The region has a unique range of wines capturing the local flavour throughout its 5 AOCs, yet most of the wines are produced around Bergerac on the Dordogne, and Cahors on the Lot. Although many of the wines on offer may be similar to those found in the Bordeaux and Languedoc regions, you should seek out - perhaps with the assistance of your host - Cotes du Bergerac, a range of light reds and crisp mountain air whites, or Cahors with its unforgettable rich plummy reds which get even better with age - if you can leave it that long to find out! With so many wines on offer, ask your hosts for their recommendations of where to sample the best locally produced wines to enhance your holiday table.
