Gourmet products local specialties and wines Saint-Etienne-Du-Grès

Reserved for professionals, this typical market is held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, on the square in front of the town hall. It opens its doors to individuals after the end of the transactions between producers (from 6pm in summer). This is an opportunity to buy unsold produce and to stock up on tomatoes, zucchini, melons, etc. in quantity (everything is sold by the box). A real good plan, as long as you don't arrive too late because, as always, the good deals go quickly. An excellent idea to buy at low prices.

It is a beautiful wine estate that produces gourmet wines, but also quality olive oils. Planted on a hill and bordered by the via Domitia, Dalmeran is a magnificent property, on which Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault are happily grown. The welcome by the owners is pleasant. They are obviously passionate people who like to share their passion and of course the product of their work. Same thing for the olive oils, declined in green and black. A nice visit in perspective.

From this 4.5 hectare estate come great wines, stamped A.O.C. Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence since the 2016 vintage, or IGP Alpilles. Exclusively organic, five wines: the Fontanille vintage, with fruity aromas, the Barrique, a version of the Fontanille vintage in barrels, the Saint-Gabriel vintage, aged for several months in oak barrels and a 100% Syrah for the reds, as well as a rosé. About 20,000 bottles are sold each year.
