Gaillac.

Gaillac sits on the Tarn river in southwest France, surrounded by vineyards that have supplied wine to the region for centuries. The town gives its name to Gaillac wine, made in red, white, and sparkling styles. Its old town keeps narrow streets built around a covered market. The Abbey of Saint-Michel now houses a museum devoted to local winemaking. The riverside promenade follows the Tarn along the edge of the old town. Wine estates around the town range from centuries-old cellars to newer producers, many open for tastings at the Maison des Vins de Gaillac in the town centre. Local markets bring in cheese, charcuterie, and produce from the surrounding countryside. The town's calendar follows the vine through the year, from pruning and budding to the harvest that begins in early autumn.
