Labastide Winery Tour in Gaillac: Vine to bottle

The bottling line runs while you watch: most visitors never see how the wine gets sealed.

A 90-minute winery tour at Labastide in Gaillac takes you through five stops: the vine garden, vinification cellar, bottling line, barrel cellar and tasting areas. You walk the route yourself or book a guide in French or Spanish. Self-guided visits run in French, English and Spanish. Wine tasting is included at the end. Minimum age is 18. All areas are wheelchair accessible.

The experience

The route moves through the cellar in a fixed sequence: you start in the vine garden, then move into the vinification cellar where the grapes become wine, pass the bottling line where bottles are filled and sealed, walk through the barrel cellar where wine ages, and finish in the tasting areas. A guided tour adds context and stories about Labastide's methods. A self-guided visit lets you move at your own pace and spend time at whichever stop holds your attention. Both options end with wine tasting.

The 90-minute span covers all five stops without rush. Guides speak French and Spanish. If you need English, contact the cellar directly to arrange it. The winery is fully wheelchair accessible, and service animals are welcome. The visit suits any fitness level. You're walking through a working cellar, not climbing hills or navigating uneven ground.
