Collioure is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France. It lies on the Mediterranean and was a part of the ancient Roussillon province. The town has a strong Catalan culture. Collioure is also the name of an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) situated around the town, (Collioure AOC), producing red, rosé and a few white wines. The ancient terraced vines in the hills behind the town also provide grapes for the aperitif and dessert wines of the (Banyuls) appellation, which shares its boundaries with the Collioure appellation
