Picnic with a winemaker

This post is about an event held by the Independent Winemakers of Aude (Vignerons Independents de l’Aude) that organizes dozens of picnics around the departement of Aude.   The picnics all take place on June 12 and 13, 2011.  For information about visiting O’Vineyards and eating with us, please see our vineyard visitors page

Picnic with a winemaker

Basically, 29 or so wineries have signed up to host picnics in their vines. This is a great opportunity for people to visit vineyards throughout Aude.  O’Vineyards isn’t participating in this event, but I will certainly attend another winery’s picnic.  And I might be organizing a similar idea for our new vineyard owners from Naked Wines.

Map of villages with picnic locations

Because the list of winemakers is a little intimidating and contains lots of tiny villages you’ve never heard of, I made a map of all the villages that hava a participating winemaker.  Look at the map to find the picnics nearest to you.  And then consult the full list below to find out which winery is hosting the picnic.
