Our journey arcs from the Mediterranean seaside, to the heart of wine country, through Carcassonne, an immaculately preserved medieval citadel, to Southern France’s culinary capital, Toulouse. Along the way we’ll harvest oysters, walk the streets of an entire village filled with vendors on market day, relax at a wine country chateau, enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime local meal at a winery, and visit the world’s best wine bar. And that’s just a sampling. Allons-y!
