Local production at Ici On Brasse

Ici On Brasse has been based in the village of Auriolles since 2012. At Ici On Brasse, visitors can learn the secrets of beer production, including grain, malt and hops. The brewery also produces whisky and gin in limited series. This range is complemented by traditionally made lemonade. The combination of beer, lemonade and spirits makes Ici On Brasse a tangible point of interest for anyone who wants to discover local production not only as a finished product, but also through its ingredients and processing.

Saint-Pierre and the village landscape

Auriolles Town Hall and the Church of Saint-Pierre form a single built ensemble dominated by a bell-gable tower. The Church of Saint-Pierre dates from the 15th, 17th and 18th centuries and is built from Astéries limestone. It has a panelled nave with bare walls. The Romanesque church in Auriolles is one of the particularly emblematic Romanesque churches of the Pays Foyen.

Another distinctive detail can be found on the south side: the church’s low entrance has a lintel made from a monolithic gravestone decorated with a cross. Details such as these give a visit a clear cultural focus and invite visitors to experience the church not only as part of the village landscape, but also through its visible architectural features.

Winegrowing plateau and views

The RD 126 crosses the most densely populated part of the village and runs at an altitude of around 90 metres across a plateau shaped predominantly by winegrowing. From the RD 126, there are views over the Durèze Valley and towards Listrac-de-Durèze. Auriolles therefore combines a connection with the village and open countryside: anyone wishing to experience the character of the winegrowing region alongside its cultural heritage will find a distinctive way to explore the surroundings here.

Tours and local traditions

Ici On Brasse offers tours and a shop throughout the year by prior appointment. The local festival in Auriolles also includes a traditional snail meal organised by the festival committee. Depending on your interests, you can include a planned tour, regional drinks and a local festival tradition in your travel plans, without every holiday day having to follow the same pattern.

A holiday rental in Auriolles to suit your plans

When choosing a holiday rental in Auriolles, you can focus on the mix of culture, landscape and regional experiences you are looking for. The church ensemble lends itself to a culture-focused stay, the RD 126 to views over the winegrowing plateau and the Durèze Valley, while Ici On Brasse adds a culinary dimension through its production, tours and shop. Auriolles is therefore a fitting destination for travellers who want to shape their stay around specific discoveries rather than a single holiday theme.
