This half-day tour will focus on discovering the Pietri Géraud estate in Collioure.

Join Robert, a VinOHrando wine tourism professional, on a ‘journey to the heart of the Collioure vineyards’ and enjoy the exceptional panoramic views from the heights of Collioure. The tour takes around 3 hours on foot.

You'll discover all the secrets of the Collioure/Banyuls appellation, the history of the vineyard from its origins, the terroirs, the estate's very special growing techniques, the winemaking methods and all the anecdotes that make this visit so unusual and captivating! 

The tour ends with a VIP tasting at the Domaine Pietri Géraud cellar lasting around 1 hour. The Domaine Pietri-Géraud is a fascinating story of five generations of Collioure winegrowers who have succeeded one another to be run today by 2 women: Maguy PIETRI-GERAUD and her daughter Laetitia. 

Maguy and Laetitia grow their wine on the steep slopes of the Collioure and Banyuls communes, on which the schist terraces that make up the Collioure and Banyuls appellation area are built. The vines are cultivated by hand, according to the rules of the art and, above all, with passion. They will be delighted to share their knowledge and love of wine with you during a small group tasting session. In the cellar, you'll be guided through the tasting process. All your senses will be awakened for a unique moment of sharing and conviviality.
