Wine tours from Cork

A FRENCH-based company headed by Irish personnel will be offering wine-tasting tours in the Languedoc Roussillon region of France this summer.

The timing coincides with the start of a Ryanair route from Cork to Carcassonne at the end of May.

TheFrenchTourCo is an hour south of Carcassonne airport and offers wine tours and airport transfers in one of the most picturesque parts of the South of France. It can also organise tailor-made tours of the Cathar castles, art tours (Matisse, Picasso and Dali all spent time in this area), gourmet tours or a mixture of the above. See thefrenchtourco.com.
