Let’s talk about wine!
Haute-Garonne is a must-see destination for wine lovers, offering a wine tour from north to south through some exceptional terroirs. The department is bursting with vineyards producing rich, elegant wines, the fruit of the expertise of passionate winemakers.
As you explore, you’ll discover the terroirs of the Frontonnais and Comté Tolosan, where each winemaker works carefully to sublimate the unique aromas of his wines. The Fronton Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP), awarded the Vignobles & Découvertes label, is particularly renowned for its emblematic grape variety, Négrette, which produces wines with the complex, seductive aromas that are so characteristic of this region.
But that’s not all the Haute-Garonne has to offer! You’ll also come across independent winegrowers (Bertrand Henry) and estates such as Ribonnet, which are striving to bring ancestral vineyards back to life, preserving age-old winegrowing traditions.
Whether you’re a lover of aromatic reds, bold whites or generous rosés, the Haute-Garonne will satisfy all your desires for discovery and tasting.
We invite you to enjoy an unforgettable sensory experience, meeting passionate men and women who, through their work, tell the story and identity of their terroirs. Immerse yourself in a rich and diverse wine heritage, where each sip reveals a little more of the magic of Haute-Garonne wine.
