We woke up for a freezing cold, but very bright morning. Simply, the golden rays of the sun were making wonder on the rolling hills of the vineyard and the whole of the valley. The morning was slow and easy, as there were no labourers coming and Continue reading

Április 23. – Szombat
Hűvös, de csodásan napos reggelre ébredtünk. A nap sugarai beragyogták a dűlőket és az egész völgy aranysárga fényben úszott. Kényelmesen lomha volt a reggel, mivel ünnepi hétvége volt, s csak a mi kis csapatunk volt a birtokon illetve Continue reading

21 April, Thursday – Day 3
The morning started with a hearty breakfast of three fried eggs, baguette and tea. After having pottered around in the log cabin, I joined the team at the winery, who was busy with sorting the grapes picked the day before.
