L'escale du soleil - FERMÉ sur Gruissan

The shop is lovely. However, we needed some information about wine, so we went to see a sales assistant who was tidying up. We seemed to be bothering her, and she made us wait for a while. I'm happy to wait a little, but waiting a long time and feeling like we're inconveniencing her is not something I appreciate.

The staff were very welcoming and kind. They were very attentive to the customer. We were able to taste two delicious wines. We will be back 😊

Plenty of choice in wines and regional products.

"Too bad, the tastings here end at 11am... after that, you have to choose the wine like in the lottery 🍷😂 We just wanted to taste before buying, but the welcome was as dry as an old white wine!!"

Always good wines at affordable prices for everyday use, possibility to taste several wines before making your purchase.

Plenty of regional wine selection but the labeling is difficult to read. Friendly welcome and parking in front.

The local wine shop. Good quality, good prices. They also have local specialties. Don't hesitate to try/buy the wines from the "fontaine," meaning straight from the tap. They don't keep for long, but they're good table wines. The advice is good.

Gourmet salt of all types....can taste...all made locally. Great gifts to bring back such as fleur de sal

I find the shop very well run. I almost only go there to buy the Clape wine, which I love in both white and red.

You'll find a particularly warm and friendly welcome, which immediately makes you want to take your time and explore the place. The team is available, passionate, and offers excellent advice, whether you're a curious amateur or a true connoisseur. The wine selection is impressive, with a wide range of carefully chosen wines, all at very attractive prices. The establishment also showcases many regional products, perfect for pairing with the wines or as gifts: anchovy paste, local olive oil, jarred garlic (a real discovery and absolutely delicious!), candies, biscuits, various salts (from the Gruissan salt marshes), and other local specialties that perfectly reflect the identity and flavors of the region. It's an excellent place to discover or rediscover the region's iconic products. Another highlight is the option to fill your own bottles with different wines, a practical, economical, and eco-friendly way to leave with quality wines while minimizing packaging waste. A free wine and spirits tasting is also offered, with no obligation to buy, allowing you to sample at your leisure before making your choice. It's a must-visit, whether you're looking to stock up on good bottles, discover local products, or simply enjoy a pleasant moment. A place you'll be happy to revisit.
