Balade gourmande
My parents got this habit to send me yearly pictures of them with my friends while they were enjoying wine and food at a vineyard tour in Beaune (Burgundy region). So, when I came back to France in 2019, right before June, they brought me with them to their yearly journey.
After 3 hours of driving we arrived well in Beaune. We had a good lunch in a restaurant we booked the week before.
Since we had plently of time ahead we visited town and had an aperitif before dinner.
That was my first tour like this, I did not know what to expect; the only advice came from my wise father: «Don't drink white wine, red is better here»
Let's go !
So many people were there. It was impressive.
Nice landscapes and good ambiance
Wine is unlimited although it is not recommended to drink too much wine.
We had a nice walk, at the end there was a bal
Born and raised in Champagne Chardonnay region I was not really used to other wines, it was an interesting experience. I think now I can clearly recognize a bourgogne wine. Next time I wish to do same thing around Bordeaux.
After tasting all the wine the previous day we bought several boxes of red wine directly from producers.
My parents reserved me a space in their cellar for me to store my own bottles, I will fill year after year.
