Languedoc wine tour from Montpellier: 2CV and two wineries

Taste eight wines across two Languedoc estates in a convertible 2CV

A 3.5-hour private wine tour from Montpellier or Sète in a vintage Citroën 2CV, with pickup from your location, visits to two traditional Languedoc wineries, and tastings of eight wines guided by a local expert. An optional stop at an olive oil mill or oyster farm on the Thau lagoon can be added depending on your departure point.

The experience

You arrive in Montpellier or Sète with an afternoon free, and a guide picks you up in a restored 2CV: the convertible roof stays open as you drive into the Languedoc vineyard country. The car itself is part of the experience: narrow enough to wind through village roads, slow enough to notice the landscape rolling past. Your guide drives and talks, answering questions about the region's winemaking as you head toward the first winery.

At the first estate, you walk the vineyard and cellar, then taste wines chosen to show what the Languedoc terroir produces. At the second winery, the same rhythm repeats: another cellar, another vineyard view, another set of tastings. Across both stops, you taste eight wines total. The guide explains what you're tasting (the soil, the grape varieties, why this region makes what it does) without the formal lecture of a classroom tasting. If you want to add a third stop, an olive oil mill or oyster farm on the edge of the Thau lagoon can fit the itinerary, depending on where you started.

The tour runs 3.5 hours door-to-door, which means you're back in town by early evening. Pickup happens from your hotel or apartment, and the guide speaks English or French.

Is this one for you?At 3.5 hours door-to-door, this tour fits a free afternoon without eating into dinner plans or a full day of sightseeing. If you want to spend more time exploring the region or adding multiple stops, a longer self-guided rental would give you that flexibility. This one prioritizes the wineries and the drive itself.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and French.

Can I add a stop at an olive oil mill or oyster farm to the wine tour?

Yes, a visit to an olive oil producer or oyster farm on the Thau lagoon can be combined with the wineries depending on your departure point. The guide will adapt the program to fit your interests.

What happens at each of the two wineries?

At each winery you visit the cellar and vineyard, then taste a selection of wines. Across both estates, you taste eight wines total, with your guide explaining the region's winemaking traditions and what makes each wine distinct.

How does the 2CV change the experience compared to a regular tour van?

The convertible roof stays open so you see the Languedoc landscape as you drive between stops. The car moves slowly enough to notice the vineyards and villages, and the intimate scale makes it easier to talk with your guide about what you're seeing.

Is this tour suitable if I have mobility concerns?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. However, it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or pregnant travelers, as the vintage 2CV has limited suspension and the vineyard terrain may be uneven.
