Food and wine

Hérault boasts a long culinary tradition, which draws on the region’s rich farming and fishing culture. Set between the Mediterranean and the Massif Central, a patchwork of vineyards and fertile countryside, its cuisine is full of surprises, a mouth-watering marriage of seafood and locally grown produce. Typical Languedoc dishes include the famous tielle sétoise, a delicious seafood pie, octopus in rouille sauce, the lamb-filled, cotton-reel-shaped petits pâtés de Pézenas, tapenade and roast Pélardon goat’s cheese. Whatever your taste, you’re sure to find a Mediterranean delicacy to set your taste buds tingling.

The Languedoc Route des Vins

Hérault, in the heart of France’s Languedoc region, is home to a host of small wine producers, their vineyards running down from the slopes of the Massif Central to the Mediterranean. Today the wines of the Languedoc are divided into five large protected appellations:

• Languedoc,
• Faugères,
• Saint-Chinian,
• Minervois,
• Clairette du Languedoc.

Visitors on a “wine route” camping holiday can choose from a number of different signposted circuits. The Route des Vins is a great way to explore the local countryside, sample its wines and meet its passionate local winemakers, ready and waiting to show you their wares. Follow them, glass in hand, on a wine discovery tour or tasting walk. It will certainly give you a different take on the landscape, villages and vineyards of the Languedoc. And if you’re on a camping holiday in Hérault, don’t forget that Flower’s campsite managers are ideally placed to recommend the best local wines.
