The Faugeres Producers Weekend is the Syndicat AOP Faugeres annual two-day open-house at the syndicat headquarters on Route de Pezenas. The 2026 edition coincides with the inauguration of the new syndicat offices and combines an organic producers' market, grills, a concert and tapas with Faugeres wine tastings across the appellation's schist-slope producers.
Tip: Faugeres is sleepier than Pic Saint-Loup or Corbieres for tourists; the producers' weekend is the single-stop introduction to the appellation. Accommodations at Beziers (15 minutes south) are abundant.
Address: 104 Route de Pezenas, 34600 Faugeres, France, Languedoc
