The best local producers Villeveyrac

Founded in 2009, Moulin de la Dentelle is a family-run business and Villeveyrac's first privately-owned oil mill since the late 50s. On 12 hectares, 5 of which are dedicated to organic farming, Muriel de la Torre strives to produce oil under the best possible conditions, not only from her own production, but also from small suppliers in the surrounding villages. Here, she uses oils from ancestral Languedoc varieties such as lucques, picholine, olivière and bouteillan. During the summer season, tours of the mill are available by appointment.

Véronique and Michel Garcia welcome you to Chez, a vegetable and arboreal family farm where they sell seasonal fruit and vegetables. It will be possible to buy directly on the spot: peaches, apricots, cherries, figs, melons, plums, table grapes, apples; but also asparagus, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, potatoes. Tasting is free of charge and we find Véronique and Michel on local markets: on Thursday and Sunday in Mèze, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in Sète, and on Sunday morning at the Antigone market in Montpellier.

Since 2002, the independent winegrower Céline Michelon has been making the Mas de Bayle, a family property of 20 hectares, live. Her Montpellier sandstone or AOC Languedoc vines grow on clay-limestone soils with a Mediterranean climate and its sea breeze. Cinsault, syrah, mourvèdre, grenache, carignan, roussane and vermentino: its local and traditional production now includes a range of six wines - white, rosé and red - each with three grape varieties, thus favoring blends. A gite at the estate is also available.

The vines of the Domaine d'Hondrat benefit from both the sea breeze blowing from the Mediterranean and the wind coming from the north. This wine estate has belonged to the Vigroux family since 1891, and five generations have succeeded one another to reach 80 ha today. The vineyard extends over clay-limestone and gravel soils, part of which is classified as AOP coteaux-du-languedoc and IGP pays-d'oc. The house produces four ranges of wines of three colors, with fresh whites, trendy rosés and fruity reds.

Véronique and Michel Garcia welcome you to Chez Eliane, a family market garden and tree farm where they sell seasonal fruit and vegetables. You will be able to buy directly on the spot: peaches, apricots, cherries, figs, melons, plums, table grapes, apples, but also asparagus, tomatoes, courgettes, peppers, potatoes. Tasting is free and Véronique and Michel can be found on the local markets: Thursdays and Sundays in Mèze, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in Sète and Sunday mornings at the Antigone market in Montpellier.

In the Baby-Raynaud family, there is the son, Romain, who takes care of the farm, the mother, Monique, who elaborates all the recipes, always looking for new flavors and taste associations, and finally the father, Marc, a fine gourmet, who does not hesitate to give a hand. The family manages the Cigales du Rec estate where trees of the aglandau, olive, verdale de l'Hérault, bouteillan, lucques, picholines and frantoio varieties grow. All their olive oils are single variety, fruity green and fruity black.
