The weather finally turned in our favour as we picked up our car in Dijon and drove to our next home for three days in the wine village of Pommard. We met up with the Langfords at a restaurant I had chosen in a small village near Beaune. It had only a Prix Fix menu with two choices in each course, but the food and the setting overlooking a pond and a bubbling stream was perfect.
Our apartment was in the centre of Pommard with secure parking behind a big gate. It was very roomy and well catered. On Saturday we all drove into Beaune for the market day, battling through crowds thronging around the stalls containing a wonderful array. We had time for a drink at our favourite wine bar that has had a change of name and setup each time we visit.
Sunday, being Mothers Day, I had booked a table in a restaurant we ate at 9 years ago nestled next to vines with a view to Pommard and Volnay. I drove the happy mothers to two tastings - one of sparkling wines and the other with an extensive range of wines from all over the region.
Home happy to prepare for the long drive to Avignon.
