This whole area is devoted to grape growing and wine production. Most villages have one or more distilleries. At the moment the grapes are being picked and the roads have tractors and carts going back and forth with the harvested grapes. We have enjoyed a bottle or two of our host’s produce. Even with our moderately good language skills we are not too sure where his plot is, how big it is or where he sells it! We do know that he is not part of a cooperative nor does he market his wine through local markets as some independents do. Maybe he just has a small production going to keep his hand in the business and make a euro or two on the side. He does make a surprisingly good chardonnay though. In this area we have the choice of white, rose and reds.
