Stopping to Admire Roses

Admiring the Eden Rose in Séguret

Eden Rose is one of my favorite roses, and this one was a beauty in the medieval village of Sèguret. My husband, John, and I were here for an organized wine walk with winemakers and group of about 100 people, up in the Dentelles de Montmirail, a small mountain chain in Provence, and in particular around Gigondas. The terroir is perfect to make lush red wines from vineyards grown at the base of these mountains. The views are spectacular looking down upon the lush green Rhône Valley floor.

After the 9km invigorating day hike, hikers were rewarded with a lovely outdoor dinner in the little Gigondas village square.
