Explore the authentic flavors of the Ardèche on a friendly day trip in a small group, in the heart of the Ardèche Cévennes.
On board a comfortable and air-conditioned 8-seater mini-coach, let yourself be guided through unspoiled landscapes, among hills, stone terraces, and charming villages. Here, every day is an invitation to take your time, meet passionate producers, and discover a region rich in know-how.
The morning begins with a visit to a producer of Picodon, the region's iconic goat cheese. You will discover the behind-the-scenes of its production, the local traditions, and the daily work of the farmer. The tour ends with a friendly food tasting of the different ripening stages.
At lunch time, enjoy some free time in a typical village of the Ardèche Cévennes. Stroll through its alleys, have a picnic, or choose to eat at the village inn.
In the early afternoon, head to an artisanal distillery where spirits are made using traditional methods. Discover how the wood-fired stills work and talk to the producer about his unique expertise. The tour continues with a liquor tasting.
The day ends at an olive farm nestled in the heart of the Ardèche countryside. There, you'll learn about the various stages of olive oil production and taste several kinds of oils made on the farm. The producer cultivates a few vineyards using natural methods, and you can also taste these different vintages, each one more surprising than the last.
At the end of the day, hit the road again with your head full of souvenirs and a new vision of the Ardèche region.
