On Saturday we were over at Azay le Rideau for a picnic at Chateau de L'Aulée. They are stunning wine producers who we buy from regularly, and who always try to take friends to. It's a lovely place, and with an extensive range of white wines and fizzies, reds and rosés. Once everyone had arrived we were treated to a gorgeous fizzy as an apèro and then with lunch we were offered a white and a red. Big barbecues had been started up for everyone to use as and when they wanted to. But the picnic was inside a large marquee which is permanently erected. There were about sixty of us. Tables were in rows covered with gingham patterned cloths. Looked really pretty. You could sit where ever you wanted. Great atmosphere - very convivial.
