Enjoy a tutored tasting of 6 wines reflecting the diversity of this great winemaking region. We run through the basics of tasting technique, discuss the geography of the region and unravel the mysteries of French wine labeling in the relaxed environment of our 16th century tasting room.
Relax in with an aperitif before moving to the 16th century barn for a delicious 3 course lunch. A typical menu will include dishes such as marinated chicken breast with roasted mediterranean vegetables or oven roasted cod with a pea, leek and lardon ragout, a top quality cheeseboard, and a tarte au citron or plum clafoutis – all accompanied by wines from the region.
After lunch we stroll around the beautiful riverside village of Le Thoureil. This ‘petite cité de caractère’ is an ancient mariner’s port that remains totally unspoilt today. Calm and beautiful, the old limestone houses have stunning terraces with wonderful views of the river.
