Every year in August, the town of Gaillac (South West France) celebrates it's wine. This wine region is not very well known outside of France and the festival is a good opportunity to discover the different types of wine.
Gaillac wine is AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) and there are 6 main varieties:
Dry White AOC GAILLAC
"Fraîcheur Perlée" AOC GAILLAC
Sweet AOC GAILLAC
Sparkling AOC GAILLAC
Red AOC GAILLAC
Primeur AOC GAILLAC
Rose AOC GAILLAC
At the festival each wine grower has a stand and you are able to taste all the wines. (They obviously hope you will buy a bottle or two!). There is also music and fireworks- it is a great day out! more information on the wine region can be found at : www.vins-gaillac.com
