Autumn has adorned the vineyards and trees of the Corbières and Minervois with its golden colors. A great opportunity for a lovely stroll to admire nature before it goes to sleep for the winter...
When the vines turn color
In mid-October, when the grape harvest is complete, the vines gradually change color. Depending on the grape variety, the leaves take on a variety of colors, ranging from yellow-green to dark red, creating a rich palette of warm tones.
At the bend in the paths, some strawberry trees complete the picture with their red or orange fruits, pretty little balls hanging in the middle of the bright green foliage. These fruits, called arbutus berries, are edible. Some people eat them as they are or make jam or jelly from them.
Stroll among the vines
The ideal way to immerse yourself in these landscapes is to go on a walk between mid-October and mid-November, on foot or by bike. Here is a selection of marked routes allowing you to take advantage of these beautiful autumn colors.
Autumn in the Hautes-Corbières
