A look back at a summer full of wine-related events!

The summer of 2026 was all about wine, sharing, and camaraderie. Located in Servian, in the heart of the Languedoc wine region, our estate had the pleasure of participating in several must-attend events in the region. From the beaches of Valras to the tree-lined avenues of Béziers, including the Estivales de Saporta and wine-tasting cruises on the Canal du Midi, these events provided the perfect opportunity to introduce people to our wines and meet new wine enthusiasts.

Looking back on a summer filled with tastings, conversations, and wonderful encounters!

Tuesdays in Valras: Wine Tasting by the Sea

Among the summer’s must-see events, the “Mardis de Valras” hold a special place. Every week, this event brings together visitors, producers, and winemakers in a warm and festive atmosphere.

We took part in this lovely summer evening, offering visitors the chance to discover our wines while enjoying the exceptional setting of Valras-Plage.

For us, these events are much more than just tastings. They give us the opportunity to showcase our work, interact directly with consumers, and share what makes our wines unique. With local products, music, and socializing, the Mardis de Valras perfectly embody the Mediterranean way of life.

A different way to discover Languedoc wines, with your feet practically in the sand!

Thursdays in Béziers: Wine at the Heart of the City

After Valras, we head to Béziers for the “Jeudis de Béziers.” Held during the summer, these weekly events bring together many local winemakers and producers for tastings and live music.

We were delighted to take part in this event, which showcases local wines and products.

Located in the heart of the city, visitors can stroll from booth to booth, meet the producers, and discover the diversity of our region’s wine appellations and vintages.

Participating in the Jeudis de Béziers is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of our winery beyond Servian. It’s also a chance to remind people that behind every bottle lies a terroir, expertise, and, above all, a great deal of passion.

Les Estivales de Saporta: An Evening Dedicated to Languedoc Wines

Head to the Mas de Saporta in Lattes or the Parc du Terral in Saint-Jean-de-Védas for evenings dedicated to discovering Languedoc wines. In a warm and authentic setting, visitors had the chance to meet the winemakers and taste their various vintages, paired with local specialties.

We were there to introduce his wines and chat with the many visitors who came.

These evenings perfectly capture the spirit of wine tourism in Languedoc: taking the time to discover the wines directly from the people who produce them, learning about their history, and sharing a pleasant time together.

For us, it’s also a way to showcase our region in a different light and to build a direct connection with the people who appreciate our work.

Wine Tours: Discover Wine in a different way

One of the highlights of this summer was also our participation in the “Croisières Vigneronnes” with Cap au Sud.

Aboard a boat cruising along the Canal du Midi, the wine tasting takes on a whole new dimension. The landscapes of the Béziers region, the canal’s historic structures, and the surrounding vineyards provide the ideal setting for discussing wine and cultural heritage.

These cruises allow participants to discover wines from local winemakers in a unique and exclusive setting. For Domaine Carrière Pradal, this is a particularly interesting experience, as it brings together several elements that contribute to our region’s richness: wine, heritage, gastronomy, and tourism.

This collaboration with Cap au Sud has allowed us to share our passion with a different audience and to show that exploring wine can take many forms.

Each event had its own unique atmosphere and audience, but they all shared a common theme: discovering the wines and terroir of the Languedoc in a friendly atmosphere.

These events are essential for a winery like ours. They allow us to step outside the winery, connect with wine lovers, and introduce our wines to new people.

They also serve as a reminder that wine is, above all, about connections. A bottle tells the story of a terroir, a vintage, and craftsmanship, but it truly comes into its own when shared.

Thank you for the summer of 2026!

We would like to thank everyone who came to meet us at these various events, as well as the organizers and our partners for their trust.

Summer is coming to an end, but the year continues at the estate. Work in the vineyard

and in the cellar, life returns to its usual rhythm, with the same ambition as always: to produce wines that reflect our terroir and our passion.

And who knows—maybe we’ll have the pleasure of seeing you again soon over one of our bottles! 🍷🍇
