So we have managed to get through France quicker than expected (note to self - take more time) and as such decided to take a quick detour to Bordeaux.
We managed to find a private Stellplatz on an actual wine estate and it proved to be quite interesting as the Owner (a German nogal) produces his wines essentially along holistic and natural lines i.e. NO outside interference whatsoever.
A wine tasting is included in the camping fee and if we had arrived a week later we would have been pulled in to "stomp" grapes.... Apparently he has is "regulars" which arrive every year!
It was quite interesting and if you'd like to find out more, here's their website: Chateau D'Esther
Driveway down to the Estate
Winetasting Coming Up! It must be said that the two other motorhomes that were present literally bought 7 boxes of wine each.... Let's hope that don't get pulled onto a weighbridge!
The Cellars
How peaceful is this?
Just arrived, thunderstorm clouds still hovering in the background
