We had a wonderful time. It started out with a walk among the vines with Kelly and her lovely dog, Oscar.

We learnt a lot, not just about the vines and how they were treated and grown, but about the local vegetation too. We picked wild asparagus, leeks and thyme. Which we cooked with after and they were all wonderful.

After the walk, we made our way to Domaine la Sarabande, where we met Peter and Isla for a tasting.

We tried one white, one rose and three reds...and their secret gin and absinthe. All were fantastic. As was the hospitality.

The wine was so good, we ordered some to have back in the UK.

This is the first of many visits!

We had a great time throughout and can't recommend it enough.
