Spring in the Pyrenees is the ideal place to end your winter hibernation and reconnect with friends, nature, good food, wine and wide-open spaces.

Pack the car and hit the quiet country roads on a discovery of vineyards, cellar doors and stunning views in the Pyrenees. With more than 20 cellar doors to explore, it’s easy to plan a whole weekend and still not see all the Pyrenees has to offer.

Many cellar doors are accompanied by decks and terraces overlooking vineyards so close that you feel you are dining amid vines. Wineries include Blue Pyrenees, Sally’s Paddock, Bigibila Wines, Summerfield, Taltarni, Wayward Winery and Dalwhinnie.

It’s easy to plan your spring getaway to the Pyrenees with a little help from the Visit Pyrenees App where you’ll find all the hidden gems to see and experience in the Pyrenees region.

Discover the passion of the Pyrenees as you drive around the Pyrenees Farmgate Trail which takes in wineries, fresh produce and local artists working in studios dotted throughout the region where you are welcome to watch the artist at work.

Spring is also the perfect time to enjoy live music. Taltarni host musicians monthly at the cellar door, where guests can relax around the verandah or in beanbags on the lawn listening to jazz and soul music while enjoying a glass of the estate’s wine. The stunning 1860s homestead Mooramong is scheduled to re-open to the public in October; be sure download the app to keep up-to-date as new events are added during spring.
