La Vie Provençale Masterclass, Tuesday 30 June, 6.30 – 8pm, The Library, 6 Old Queen St

STOP PRESS.... this session will now turn into more of a La Vie Français Masterclass as Martin Vander Weyer will join Catriona and Johnny and talk about his well-documented and much loved summers at his home in Saint-Pompon in the Dordogne.

Join Catriona Olding, Still Life correspondent and long-time Provence resident, and drinks editor Jonathan Ray for a Provençal mid-summer evening in our private members’ club just a few doors down from Spectator HQ. We will imagine the scent of lavender and heady garrigue herbs surround us as we taste the wonderful still and sparkling rosés from organic Provence winemaker, Chateau Léoube along with its gin and olive oil. We’ll also hear tales of the Provençal life Catriona enjoyed with her late husband, Low Life himself, Jeremy Clark, and enjoy a mini masterclass in how to perfect her inimitable soupe au pistou. 

There is lift access.
