The Gaillac area is one of the oldest wine producing areas of France with its origins probably dating back to before the Roman occupation. In 1938, Gaillac was among the first to gain an AOC label (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée), a guarantee of character and quality. The wine region spreads over 3,500 hectares, 130 vineyards and produces 20 million bottles. Opportunities to visit award winning vineyards for free tastings [degustation] are aplenty, or one can visit numerous co-operative cellars or private ‘caves’.
