A fabulous day out which caters for every family member.

Gérald, representing Domaine de la Paleine for his 6th year was one of the 60 Pays de Loire vineyards to be invited.

Glorious sunshine and high temperatures aided the day’s festivities, and enjoyment of artisans’ goodies and vignerons’ wines.

Having timed their return stays perfectly were our wonderful and fun-loving clients, Lisa & John, and Susan & Paul, both of whom we had had the great pleasure of welcoming to ‘La Bellevue’ last year.

United in one great shared passion, the wines from Domaine de la Paleine!

Armed with their dégustation glasses, “un grand tour” of “le marché” was in order before concluding at Gérald’s stand to sample the Domaine’s latest vintages.
