Grape Harvesting Memories

While sorting through pictures, trying to clean out the mess on my computer, I came across these pictures from when Christophe did the grape harvesting last year. He worked for Yves Gangloff, a French wine maker known for his Côte Rotie, Condrieu and eccentric lifestyle. Not only did Christophe pick and press the grapes, but he learned about the process of wine making. He had an incredible experience and hopes to harvest again this year!
People are always curious as to how to get involved with the grape harvesting in France. We are organizing a grape harvesting adventure with A Taste of France Tours. Coming soon!
