A PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibition inspired by French wine-making has opened in Darlington.

In Vino Veritas, which means in wine we trust, by Lucy Carolan, opened last night at the Decisive Moment Gallery, in the Blanche Pease Annexe, in Vane Terrace.

The exhibition focuses on organic wine-makers in the Loire Valley region of France, who still use traditional manual production methods and hand-pick their crop.

Ms Carolan said: "For wine-makers, in vino veritas means remaining true to the character of the grape."

The show runs until May 28, and is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10am to 5pm, and Thursdays and Fridays 1pm to 9pm.
