Terroir & Gastronomy around Pézenas
Sun, tradition and generous flavours — Languedoc is a paradise for food lovers. Between Béziers, Pézenas and Cap d'Agde, discover a land where every village, market and table tells a story of terroir. From Les Gîtes de Monte Blanco, meet local producers, taste regional wines and savour Mediterranean specialties.
Taste of the South — local products
On markets in Pézenas, Béziers or Nissan-lez-Ensérune, try local treasures: Lucques olives, artisanal goat cheeses and charcuterie, garrigue honey, sun-ripened fruit, tielles sétoises, brandades and mussel brasucades. Don't miss the Bouzigues oysters, raised in the clear waters of the Thau Lagoon, best enjoyed with a chilled local white. For dessert, sample the Zézette de Sète, a small sablé biscuit flavoured with white wine and vanilla — a true symbol of local sweetness.
Vineyards and wine routes
The Languedoc is one of France's oldest wine regions. Nearby appellations to visit include Saint-Chinian, Faugères, Minervois and La Clape. Many domaines welcome visitors for tastings and cellar tours — ideal to meet winemakers and learn local know-how.

Food experiences & events
