Vineyards
This is a very nice vineyard situated 26 minutes from our house by car. You can book a tour of their small castle and a wine tasting. But you need to do that in advance. They have a very nice Picpoul wine.

Beaches
Portiragnes plage is one of many in Occitanie. We like it because it is big, they have nice restaurants on the beach - Plage du Bosquet (pop-up for the summer). Light food. Beach beds. Plage les Voiles is also a pop-up at Portiragnes. A bit fancier. It is hard to recommend a beach as we are not really "beach people" - we love the d´Heric as I wrote about earlier. A bit different from the beach life.... Valras plage has a lot of restaurants by the road and a casino. Serignan plage...Agde...Vias plage...
