Or…
Situated on the banks of a loop of the Tarn, Gaillac owes its fame to its age-old wine production and its fluvial location on the banks of the Tarn, ideal for trading and transporting wine by gabarre.
Next to the Abbey of Saint Michel de Gaillac, la Maison des Vins is open to visitors and presents the Gaillac vineyard with its 7 grape varieties. Guided tasting included.
▶ Organic wines

If you’d like to have lunch in a restaurant, we recommend « Le Vigne en Foule » in Gaillac, where you’ll enjoy local, organic products from a cellar with over 200 references. Excellent, original and refined cuisine.
▶ The Cave de Labastide de Lévis is one of 3 cooperative wineries along with Rabastens and Técou. It is located just a few kilometers from Albi on the road to Gaillac, and offers a new immersive and innovative tour, unique in the Midi-Pyrénées : « le parcours de Légende » which plunges you into the world of vines and wine for an unforgettable visitor experience.
