Event Description
The Tour De France gives us a grand excuse to use the tour to discover some French hidden gems.
The Grand depart is from Edinburgh on July 2nd before the riders arrive in France on July 6th. The route then takes in the wine regions of the Loire Valley, skirts Burgundy and Jura before heading south down the Rhone Valley, across the south of France to the Pyrenees and then up to Bordeaux.
Regions that are home to some classic as well as rare, interesting and unusual grapes and wines. We'll also enjoy a little cheese and charcuterie to nibble alongside the wines.
A wine tasting for all of you MAMILs and Francophiles out there.
