The young winegrowers of Gigondas invite you to take part in the Croisée des Terroirs, a walk through the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail. The trail offers an exciting way to explore the Gigondas appellation – it is informative and will appeal to lovers of fine fare and exercise. Accompanied by wine geologist Georges Truc you will be able to see first-hand all the different component parts of terroir, its typicity and variations. A tasting of one or several local wines at each stop, in the very place where they were born, offers a chance to admire the landscape and experience sense of place in the glass itself. And because every effort deserves a reward, you will be welcomed on the typical Provencal village square with some outstanding wines served with a country-style dinner in a festive, musical atmosphere.
- Starters and main courses: Les Toqueés du Rock, 2023 French barbecue champions
