The wine-cultural event of the Grés de Montpellier union returns on Sunday May 12 with six tasting stages in remarkable places in the Boutonnet, Beaux-Arts and Écusson districts. Twenty-nine producers will showcase their wines with dishes created by Traiteur Grand. End of reservations: Tuesday, May 7 in the evening.

With the arrival of sunny days, the 11th Grés de Montpellier Gastronomic Walk is just around the corner. And this year again, it’s an edition that could not be more promising which has been concocted for this Sunday, May 12.

This wine-cultural event, whose departures will be distilled throughout the day, indeed offers a 5 km circuit in the Boutonnet, Beaux-Arts and Écusson districts, punctuated by six gourmet steps.

Exclusive…

Gastronomic and heritage moments that will put the spotlight on a building, as much as on a dish, prepared by the Grand caterer. All enhanced, of course, by the nectars of the winegrowers of the Grés de Montpellier appellation.
