Top spring days out for foodies

With the warmer weather, there are plenty of opportunities to treat your taste buds on some great days out. Take a stroll through the farmers’ markets where you’ll discover a colourful cornucopia of flavours, enjoy a tasting of a grand cru after a visit to the vineyards, or have an aperitif in one of the region’s iconic estates. Let’s set off on a journey exploring local produce!
