Rasiguères: Garrigue, Maury Wine and Ceramics

Rasiguères is a destination where landscape, wine and craftsmanship offer different kinds of holiday experiences. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Rasiguères, you can tailor your trip to the interests you share with your fellow travellers: enjoying nature, gaining insight into winegrowing or making creative discoveries with historical connections.

Nature and outdoor activities at the Tour de Trémoine

The Tour de Trémoine area extends across the municipalities of Rasiguères and Planèzes. Since 1991, it has been protected under a prefectural order for the protection of biotopes (APPB) and forms part of the “Basses Corbières” Natura 2000 site. Entering the Tour de Trémoine biotope perimeter is prohibited from 15 January to 30 June. Owners and their legal successors are exempt for ongoing maintenance of their property.

For families, the “Autour de Trémoine” circular trail offers a direct way to experience the landscape. It passes through rich, fragrant and wild garrigue, circles the Tour de Trémoine and opens up the Fenouillèdes wine-growing area. From the viewpoints, you can see across the entire region as far as the Pyrenees. Nature, activity and sweeping views come together here in a varied outing.

Holiday apartment in Rasiguères for wine and regional discoveries

The Maury appellation also includes Rasiguères and is associated with hills of schist and black marl. The AOP Maury includes white and red wines; depending on the ageing process, oxidised or non-oxidised styles are possible. The Maury “Vendange”, “Récolte” and “Vintage” styles are aged for at least twelve months and are considered powerful and complex, with notes of black fruit.

Les Vignerons de Trémoine is a small cooperative winery in Rasiguères at the upper end of the Vallée de l’Agly, known for the quality of its wines since 1919. Les Passéjade de Trémoine combines a wine walk starting at the winery in Rasiguères with an exploration of the terroir, a wine tasting and a convivial meal with the winemakers. On request, Les Vignerons de Trémoine offer guided tours for groups; free wine tastings were available there for groups.

Ceramics and craft heritage

La Poterie du Carbassou offers pottery classes in Rasiguères and creates ceramics inspired by the area’s archaeological and traditional heritage. These include medieval and Gallo-Roman pottery, as well as medieval tiles. Alongside landscape and wine, this places the connection between pottery craftsmanship and regional heritage at the heart of the experience.
