Agropastoralism Day
Saturday, January 24 – Free event | Families welcome
The Château de Luc invites you to an immersive day in the heart of the Corbières, discovering an ancestral practice that is more relevant than ever for the future: agropastoralism.
Between vineyards, garrigue and grazing flocks, this day offers a deeper understanding of the role sheep play in maintaining balanced wine-growing landscapes, preserving biodiversity, and helping agriculture adapt to today’s climate challenges. A lively meeting point for shepherds, winemakers, local stakeholders and the general public.
