Vineyard adventure

FRANCE | Saturday, 26 July 2008 | Views [481]

Decided to try and find a vine yard so we could fill up a gallon container from a tap in a wall for 1 euro like we have seen many times on tv. Trying to find one in the country well known for wine is impossible. After an hour and a half of trying to find one that tom knew about we gave up. Luckly james saw a sign at the side of the road so we followed the farm lane and found one. Wasn't the 1000 acre's of vines set on a hillside that we had imagined, instead he had 4 acres next to a road. But it really was a pleasant suprise.

He bought the vine yard 2 years ago but the vines were 20 years old.

After James and i (sarah to scared of the big dog) looked around the vines we all tried the red, white, rose and the kids grape juice, funny how when free wine is offered the fear of dogs disappears.

The wine was very good so we bought a rose and the kids grape juice.
