Description
We are a family who enjoy the culinary delights and community in this friendly region of Southern France, and wish to support the natural wine movement in this region. We also particularly enjoy making music together, and capturing precious moments in photography. We have a lovely white stone country home with pool and gardens in the hamlet of Gauginelles, in the beautiful Gaillac wine region of the Tarn, Southern France.

What else ...
The surrounding countryside is idilic. Rolling hills covered in wines and sunflowers with ideal weather. The cities of Gaillac, Albi, Toulouse, and others are all under 1 hour drive, with museums, restaurants, and evening fun. There are also beautiful hill top cities, such as Cordes, Castelnau-de-Montmiral and Penne, which are delightful to visit especially on market days. Plenty of nature oriented activities as well, such as biking and kayaking at Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val. And of course, winery visits and wine tasting!

The living space is in our lovely extra white stone house. We also have a wooded area if anyone wishes a space amongst the trees to be closer to nature in a tent! We all eat lunch together and provide basics for breakfast and dinner. If special dietary needs are required, we request that the workawayer tend to that independently.
Space for parking camper vans
We have plenty of space to park a camper van as well as a car.

I went with a friend of mine from University for a two week stay and from the beginning we were blown away with the location and the hosts.
The accomodation itself was superb with our own private rooms and a kitchen, where we cooked meals. Along with this there was a washing machine we could use when… read more
We loved all the work we have done in Gauginelles, from cleaning to building a stone wall. We loved to do garden work and the most amazing thing was being able to pick fruit from the tree and eat, no money in the world would buy that experience.
Everyone were very kind and welcoming. Thank you very much… read more
