In the heart of the Southern Rhône wine region, the 3rd annual Gigondas Sur Table will be Monday July 21. This year, five top Provencal chefs will serve tasting portions of their dishes--appetizers to desserts--and 40 local winemakers will be pouring. The cheese course will be provided by one of the top purveyors in the region, Claudine Vigier, who has the title Meilleure Fromagère de France. It all happens on the village square (Place Gabrielle Andeol) in Gigondas, from 7 pm to around 11 pm. Tickets are 35€ per person, 10€ for kids under 12, and reservations are essential. To book: promotion@gigondas-vin.com or call 04 90 37 79 60. To see the press kit in French, which lists the chefs and winemakers participating, click here.

We were just talking about Gigondas last night....but couldn't remember the name of the town! Between Seguret and Sablet is all we could come up with. Were remembering one of the finest desserts ever in the small cafe there: roasted figs in lavender syrup. It was superb, as was the entire experience sitting there on the square!!!
This really is a "not to be missed" experience. I went last year and loved the wine, food and camarderie with the winemakers. Bought the tickets for this year when the event was announced. Hope to see you there.
Count me in!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it would be criminal to miss it!
