Since 1994, at the top of the village of Gigondas, sculptures by contemporary artists have been on display for visitors along our terraces, near our ramparts, on our tiny squares and in our gardens.
Wine industry members and the specialist media will meet up from the 3 to the 6 of April 2023 for the Découvertes en Vallée du Rhône exhibition. During the show, a master class will be dedicated to Gigondas and its Terroir on Thursday.
It’s a perfect family event in the great Gigondas tradition : exploring the more remote parts of Gigondas on mountain bikes, stopping to nibble, sip and listen to the winemakers making the wine come to life. And settling in for a long lunch in a domain of Gigondas.
This annual event is designed to allow wines from the vintage currently being matured to be tasted, in the same conditions as journalists, critics and sommeliers, who will be welcomed by the appellation. It also offers attending winegrowers, negociants, brokers and winemakers the opportunity to discuss the vintage at their ease in a relaxed atmosphere.
Over a dinner hosted on the village square, winegrowers and their guests will share their most treasured wines, not only showcasing the Gigondas appellation but also wines from around the world. Everyone brings their own little gems to share with the other guests.

All participants have to do is sit back and enjoy the resultant food and wine pairings, from starter to pudding!
