Fronton

Fronton is a commune in Haute-Garonne in southern France, located northeast of Toulouse, where vineyards and farmland define the landscape. The territory features rolling terrain covered with rows of grapevines, interspersed with agricultural fields and small villages.

Wine production in this area traces back to Roman times, when vineyards were first established. This long-standing tradition of wine-making has shaped the region's development and economy for centuries.

Wine growers here cultivate the Négrette grape, a variety that has belonged to this land for generations. The wine trade shapes how locals live and how visitors experience the place today.

The commune is well served by buses connecting to Toulouse and surrounding areas, making it easy to reach from larger cities in the region. The rural setting makes exploring by car the best way to visit vineyards and villages at your own pace.

The area comprises several wine villages that share a common quality designation, yet each maintains its own character and local practices. Visitors often find that individual villages pursue different approaches to vineyard work and wine-making, despite bearing the same appellation name.
