The town and wine appellation of Vinsobres (26 Drome, Rhône-Alpes) is the place to be on 28 August 2009, when they celebrate the “RALLYE DU GOUT” – an all-day celebration of their Côtes du Rhône wine and local provencal produce,
The rally (about 9 kilometres) in and around the village encompasses 8 wineries with opportunities to taste and enjoy local foods- olives, olive oil and herbes de provence, cheeses etc – before the evening (6pm) “Ban des Vendanges” – the ceremonial declaration of the start of the 2009 wine harvest. The day concludes with a village feast with music!
Vinsobres is an appellation in its own right (i.e. classified above Côtes du Rhône AC and Côtes du Rhône Villages AC) and produces only red wines from Grenache *at least 50% ), Syrah and/or Mourvedre and is one of the most northerly of the southern Rhône vineyards.
