Sub-appellations of Côtes de Provence: Sainte Victoire

In historic times these valleys served as corridors of communication. The valley to the east of Aix is no exception as the medieval walled town of Trets…

Fraises des Bois Discover Foraging for Strawberries in Provence

July 4, 2016

Did you know that wild strawberries grow in Provence? I couldn’t believe it when Robin first pointed them out to me.

Le Jardin Restaurant in Mallemort

May 6, 2015

My previous “encounters” with Mallemort had fleeting, passing through either in a car or on a bike. Mallemort has the benefit and possibly the curse of having the D23 intersect the town. This is the route that crosses the Durance and joins the Vaucluse to the Bouches du Rhône. It would be easy enough to …

Elizabeth Gabay

I first started coming to Provence regularly in the mid-1980s when, with my family, we invested in a small cottage in the central Var. I started to specialise in the wines of the area, selling them in the UK – way before Provencal rosé became fashionable. A 10 year pause in the 1990s while I worked at the Master of Wine degree, got married and had my two children before we decided to make a move to France full time. Based to the north of the wine region of Bellet and Nice since 2002, I write about the wines of south east France and Liguria (as well as other countries). I particularly enjoy the cultural and historical background to wine and some of the more obscure facts.
