Please join us Thursday, September 16th, as our friend and long-time collaborator, Hugues Beaulieu of Elite Wines, takes us once again on a vinous Tour de France, starting at Limoux in the South-West, and traveling to the Loire Valley, Beaujolais, and the Northern and Southern Rhône. Hugues, Virginia Sales Manager for Elite Wines Imports and former Beverage Director and Head Sommelier at The Inn at Little Washington, will guide us through our delectable French wine pairings this evening.
Our “Tour de France” will be presented on our covered garden terrace 40ft x 55ft tent, complete with plenty of room for generous distancing, six cooling fans, and pastoral views of our six acres, two on-site gardens, koi pond and blooming flowers.
