A little taste of France in the heart of Rutland.

A little taste of France in the heart of Rutland.

French Cellar is bringing the French Art de Vivre to Rutland, with a hand-picked collection of wines from across France, including a number of bottles that you won’t find anywhere else in the UK.

The team are also the exclusive UK representative for Maison Cavaille, a French négociant and winemaker with a history dating back to 1949.

But French Cellar is about more than what’s on the shelf. From wine tastings and food evenings to bespoke events, it’s about enjoying good wine, good food and a little bit of French savoir-faire and there’s plenty coming up this autumn:

Friday 16 October – Pinot Noir Evening
Friday 6 November – Members’ Boeuf Bourguignon Evening
Friday 13 November – Oakham Castle Wine Tasting
Thursday 19 November – Beaujolais Nouveau Day

For more information about French Cellar and its upcoming events, visit www.frenchcellar.co.uk

As summer begins to fade, the Autumn Equinox marks

As summer begins to fade, the Autumn Equinox marks an important turning point in the seasonal calendar. The equinox is the moment when day and night are almost equal in length, signalling the transition from summer into autumn across the Northern Hemisphere.

For centuries, the changing seasons have been recognised and celebrated as part of the natural rhythm of life. The Autumn Equinox marks a time of balance, harvest and preparation, as the abundance of summer gives way to the quieter months ahead.

Across Britain, autumn has traditionally been a time of celebrating the year’s harvest, preserving food for winter and giving thanks for the fruits of the year’s work. It is also a season of noticeable change in the natural world, as hedgerows fill with berries, leaves begin to turn and woodlands slowly change from green to shades of gold, red and brown.

It’s a wonderful time to explore Rutland’s countryside, with cool, crisp mornings, changing colours across the landscape and the first wisps of smoke rising from fires as the evenings draw in.

Discover the county’s towns and villages and enjoy the sights, sounds and atmosphere of the changing season.

Hidden away at Rutland Garden Village in Langham,

Hidden away at Rutland Garden Village in Langham, The Flower Shed is a little haven for beautiful, natural floristry.

Run by Angela, The Shed creates seasonal bouquets, thoughtful floral gifts and beautiful arrangements for life’s special moments, with a particular love for garden-inspired designs and flowers that are a little bit different.

But The Flower Shed isn’t just about picking up a beautiful bunch of flowers. Its new programme of floral workshops gives budding florists and flower lovers the chance to get creative, learn new skills and enjoy a few hours surrounded by blooms.

It’s been an exciting year for Angela, who has been shortlisted for the Rutland & Stamford Mercury Business Awards and received two Wedding Industry Awards nominations.

For flowers with personality, seasonal inspiration and a personal touch, The Flower Shed is well worth discovering.

Pop by The Flower Shed at Rutland Garden Village or discover more online.
