Pignan gives over the château park for a day each October to olives and olive oil, the Mediterranean crop that defines the garrigue west of Montpellier.
Tip: Entry is free and the day runs 10:00 to 18:00; Pignan is under twenty kilometres from the city.
The Foire Internationale fills the Pérols exhibition park for eleven October days, with a guest-country food pavilion that in 2026 goes to Canada.
Tip: The guest-country village is the food draw; tickets go on sale in early September each year.
Millésime Bio is the world's organic wine trade fair, filling the Parc des Expositions at Pérols every January with growers from every French wine region.
Tip: It is a trade fair, so entry is aimed at buyers; the January edition runs across three days.
La Fête du Vin Bio takes over Montpellier bars, wine shops and restaurants for a fortnight from late May, with grower tastings and pairing evenings.
Tip: Run by Sudvinbio alongside Toulouse; the programme lists which venues pour on which night.
Every Monday evening through the summer the JOST hotel rooftop pours Étang de Thau oysters with a glass of white wine from €14, walk-in and no booking.
Tip: It starts at 18:00 and needs no reservation, which is unusual for a Montpellier rooftop.
Les Estivales fill the Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle every Friday evening from July to late August, around thirty Languedoc growers pouring beside food trucks.
Tip: The market is free to walk; a tasting pass with a glass costs around €4 at the entrance.
