Holiday cottage village near Gaillac
les chalets de fiolles is just 4 km from Gaillac and 60 km from Toulouse—and that closeness is one of our greatest strengths. Once the region’s wine capital, Gaillac is a lively, history-filled town, perfect for a morning at the market, a cellar visit, or lunch by the Tarn. Our chalet village is ideally placed to explore all that Gaillac and the surrounding area have to offer.
Wine tourism: Gaillac’s vineyards and cellars
Make the most of your stay to discover and savour a unique terroir: the Gaillac vineyard, one of the oldest in France (the first traces of vines date back to the 6th century BC).
Today, the Vin de Gaillac appellation brings together 300 winegrowers and 2 cooperative wineries. The variety of terroirs and the vineyard’s long history give Gaillac a rich range of traditional grape varieties. This diversity is reflected in a wide variety of wines: dry, sweet and lightly sparkling white wines, as well as reds, rosés and sparkling wines.
On our side, we were awarded the Vignobles & Découvertes label in 2026 and now work with two estates in Montans: Domaine Carcenac and Domaine de La Croix des Marchands. You can discover their wines at our tastings, and find a selection of whites, rosés and reds for sale in the village shop.
Plenty of great moments to share over a glass: tastings at the winegrowers’, cellar visits, vineyard activities to discover the grape varieties, plus Apéro Concerts and the Gaillac Wine Festival in early August.
Also discover nature-and-wine walks: the Oenorandos.
