Wine & Astro Walk - Domaine de Roussières

Set off in the evening to discover the landscapes of the hinterland and this rich terroir narrated by one of our guides specialized in oenology, during our friendly walks in small groups. Around the departmental Domaine de Roussières (Viols-en-laval), our guides take you on traditional pastoral paths (drailles, lavognes, dry stone walls...) for a wine tasting and a commented observation of the sky, at nightfall when the darkness... and magic settle in!

A journey through space and time to marvel at the natural wonders that science has revealed from Antiquity to the present day, and that are right there before our eyes, all you have to do is look up.
You will better understand what shooting stars are and where they come from, why the morning star is not a star, how to estimate by eye the age of a star, what the difference is between a star and a planet, what an exoplanet is... and much more!

All our walks allow you to discover 4 different wines and the dominant appellations of the site visited: AOP Pic Saint Loup, AOP Terrasses du Larzac, AOP Languedoc, AOP Grés de Montpellier and IGP Saint Guilhem-le-Désert, IGP Pays d'Oc.

Complete this gourmet break with local assortments in the form of a takeaway box in your backpack.
Box offered by our partner restaurateur In Vina Terra
Landscape reading and naturalist winks will help you better understand the environment crossed and the local biodiversity.
