GASTRONOMY
To savour the essence of the region, the city's
bustling covered market, Marché des Capucins
is an ideal spot for indulging in regional
specialties, such as cheese, olives, cold meats
and other local delicacies. Wine enthusiasts
will also find delight in exploring the region's
storied vineyards and sampling its acclaimed
vintages from an extensive selection of wine
estates producing red, white and dessert wines.
An even deeper appreciation for the region's
winemaking heritage can be gained during a
visit to the Wine & Trade Museum. Once an Irish
merchant's house, the building dates to 1720.
Step inside for a peek at its vaulted cellars and
admire the display of artefacts, before moving
on to a wine‑tasting excursion.
