We are back in France! We have made our way back up to the Bordeaux wine region and to our happy surprise its harvest time! It just happens to be a late harvest here this year because of an unfortunate cool and rainy spring. The area is a flurry, filled with hand pickers and tractors buzzing all over the hills. There is an excitement and lovely fruity smell flowing all over the valley! We made a quick first stop in the beautiful town of St. Emilion on our way to the Manoir Astree where we will stay in the middle of the vines for 3 days. (an anniversary treat)
I love when there is an ancient structure in the middle of a vineyard

Charming, can't wait to get a look around in the morning
