What to expect
Your guide takes you through Montpellier's old town at a walking pace, pointing out architecture and sharing local stories you won't find in guidebooks. It's conversational, not a lecture. After roughly two hours on foot, you'll head to a wine cellar or small restaurant where a merchant pours three glasses and talks through what you're drinking—the soil, the grapes, the style. You'll taste them properly, not rush through. Expect to ask questions and actually get answers about the region's wine.
