Kind Words From Our First Season.
/The days shorten, the temperature drops and with a long winter ahead of us it is almost time for us to shut up shop after our first season. And what a season it has been...
Since opening our doors in May we have barely sat down. Cyclist, wine lovers, foodies and friends have come from all four corners of the globe to share Burgundy, her wine, her food and her landscape.
After eating, drinking and cycling around Burgundy, when all our guests leave we ask them to leave a mark in our visitors book. All we want is a written memory of who come to stay, but in in return we have received` countless kind words, some of which are listed below.
I am very fortunate to be able to say that cooking, cycling and drinking the occasional glass of wine are work. But following your passions is not always easy and to be able to read the kind words below after a season of hard work is reward indeed. To all the guests who have visited us in Burgundy, thank you it's been a wonderful summer!
