LES PEPITES DU SUD

An oenologist and vineyard owner descended from a family that has grown wine in Cevennes (Occitania region) since the 16th century, Jérôme has held key positions in wine marketing boards in the Rhone Valley and Languedoc. After spending many years travelling the globe to promote these major wine regions and contributing to their move upmarket , he established Pépites du Sud to bridge the gap between the regions’ image and the outstanding experiences they offer through their wines.

The vineyards of Southern France offer a treasure trove of wine tourism gems. We hunt them down for you. Every winegrower has their own character, but more importantly, each one tells a unique and fascinating story. We do our utmost so that you get to meet them. We introduce you to them and ensure you get to taste their vinous treasures through our one-of-a-kind tours.

It is a wine-centric experience, a unique opportunity to engage your senses and emotions, connect with others and the local culture, which we design based on our inspiration (Seasonal Treasures) or yours (Customised Treasures). This is a multi-faceted experience, focusing primarily on top-end wines epitomising their appellation (AOC or IGP). It can be an encounter with winegrowers – both men and women – who will take time out to talk about their estate and the secrets of their expertise. It can also be an introduction to vineyard settings – the countryside, vineyards, heritage, gastronomy, culture, wine villages, traditions and scenery.

 Jérôme Villaret has devoted a lot of time and effort to the vineyards of Languedoc, Roussillon, Rhone Valley, Provence, and South West of France. His close ties with numerous winegrowers prompted a desire to develop a different style of wine tourism, one which goes behind the scenes to connect with the more intimate side of the men and women who make wine, their realities and the magic they conjure up.

• As specialists in the wine regions of South of France, we can guide you towards the best places to visit, taste, eat and sleep in a wine-focused setting (Vignobles & Découvertes charter). Our extensive range of contacts provides the keys to opening many doors.
