One of the highlights of living in my beautiful Morbihan is that gastronomy and wines are tops, whether locally or folks coming in , we are serve the best of France, And that is saying a lot me think, We have jump on the wagon sort of speaking early on in our stay here,and participated in these events, One we go every year since 2014 is the now call Aux Vignobles or its former names over the years, Let me tell you again about my experiences yesterday Saturday March11 , 2023 in the Chorus expo center.
Aux Vignobles was held from 10 to 13 ,and we were there on Saturday March 11th at the Chorus Parc des Expositions de Vannes in the Parc du Golfe. General admission 5€! (we get invited by the merchants so free admission) , We were ready with our wheel baggy and carry a load of wines, and cold cuts and foie gras and cheeses the works, This is great and already a tradition for us to be here. This year there were 135 participating businesses but we narrow it down to three and spent quite a bit of time talking to them all as well tastings their products, then buying it and got some freebees as well !
This year’s properties were :
Château Fontbaude, wines of Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux at stand F21
Foie Gras AGERRIA , Duck foie gras, pâtés, confits, preserves, Basque ready meals at stand E14
Maison Gastellou, Salted meats, products and cakes from the Basque Country at stand C7.
Vignoble La Rodaie, Cosseau-Boireau , Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil (Loire Valley) at stand E18
These were repeated visits each year and were chosen this year for their price/quality ratio and friendly welcome of always, The Vignoble la Rodaie are by now friends that come to stay in their second home near me and we go to theirs , The owners are on the pictures. tops ! The Maison Gastellou we have gone to their main store in Saint Jean de Luz and see the post on that, very friendly folks and free googies always as well.
You have the real France here nothing industrial, supermarket type but the real deal straight from the farms and the artisans who produces the marvelous things we all came to know France for and still is. You have them here from different regions all defending their land and product. We later came to visit many of them on site and the history continues…
