Description

At Mas des Tourelles, the remains of a potter’s workshop have revealed a thriving industry during Antiquity: here, thousands of amphorae were shaped and fired before being filled with wine and shipped throughout the Roman Empire.

Your guide will reveal the secrets of this production process, from shaping techniques to firing in huge kilns.

To continue your exploration of the Mas des Tourelles, you will be invited to take a self-guided tour of the Gallo-Roman cellar, followed by a tasting of Mulsum, Turriculae and Carenum – wines produced according to ancient traditions.

Your guide will reveal the secrets of this production process, from shaping techniques to firing in huge kilns.
