Roussillon wine tourism DMC

Catalan Wine Escape is a licensed receptive agency specialising in wine tourism, registered with Atout France and based in Perpignan. We design and deliver exclusive programmes for tour operators, travel agencies, travel advisors and event agencies.

Roussillon remains one of the last great French wine regions almost absent from international catalogues. That is precisely what makes it an opportunity for your clients.

Roussillon in 90 seconds

Schist terraces above the sea, century-old estates, wines aged in the open sun, and three ways to explore this vineyard: by land, by sea and by air.

Why programme Roussillon

A region your competitors are not selling
