The Vine Garden

A search for home in the gardens and vineyards of France



A sequel to the bestselling book The Luberon Garden. What happens when the Provencal dream becomes jaded? Bestselling author and garden designer Alex Dingwall-Main takes a journey to the heart of France, to the wine-producing chateaux and their gardens, and falls in love with the country once again

What happens when you relocate to the perfect house, in the perfect village in Provence, and nearly ten years later the shine has gone? Garden designer Alex Dingwall-Main is facing lavender fatigue, strife at home, neighbourly warfare and non-paying business clients. He is on the verge of packing his bags and starting all over again, back in England.

Until one Spring day he is offered an opportunity by a wealthy and very grateful client; a treasure hunt for 12 bottles of exquisite French wine. It would be a journey through the country's finest vineyards, chateaux and villages. With a hangover and an uncertain heart, Alex decides to give it one more try and sets off in search of the France he fell in love with so many years ago. The people, the gardens and the wine that he encounters make for an adventurous and beautiful summer, and life-changing decisions are reached...
