The high point of the summer, this is one event food lovers make sure not to miss. But what has made it so successful for the past ten years? Six chefs and talented artisans make the perfect foil for some forty or so winegrowers and trading companies from the appellation. Their savoury dialogue brings out the very best in Gigondas wines whilst at the same time turning the spotlight on local, seasonal produce. Wining and dining come together to offer enthusiasts from near and far a culinary and vinous treat. Every year, this eclectic crowd gets together to seize a rare opportunity to taste these precious pours in their birthplace with the person who crafted them. And on the Provencal village square nestled amidst the foothills of the majestic Dentelles de Montmirail, everything comes together as the sun goes down.
The icing on the cake for attendees of the 2024 event is an opportunity to taste the first vintage of white Gigondas. This is a unique chance to discover many wines that have only recently left cellars and have yet to step into the limelight. Their colour, their minerality and their freshness broaden the spectrum even further for food pairings. And that has to be a match made in heaven.
