'Annie's House' - Nathalie & Ross

During April we welcomed Nathalie and Ross to 'La Bellevue'.

It was soon apparent they were great appreciators of the outdoors, lovers of food and budding wine enthusiasts... we knew they were in for a fantastic time!!

And to get their week off to a flying start it was 'A Vineyard Discovery' with Gérald.

A matinée meeting at the Domaine and Gérald soon got the visit underway.

Lead through the vines, les caves and le chai, Gérald unravelled the art of wine making, methods used in old and modern times and explained vinification, of course there is much more but I don't want to give all the fun away!!

Concluding with an extensive wine tasting in la Salle de Dégustation it was here I met up with Natalie and Ross again before taking them back to 'La Bellevue'.

I think this is a fabulous photo of Nathlie & Ross and it is accompanied by their generous comment of their stay with us:

We had the perfect stay in Annie's House. From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed and treated like one of the family. The immaculate house with all its rustic charm had everything we needed for a luxurious stay. Sarah-Jane was always on hand and was only too willing to recommend great days out tailored to our interests. We were spoilt with Gérald's wine knowledge and generosity. We would definitely recommend both the 'Vineyard Discovery' wine tour and table d'hôte to compliment the perfect stay. We look forward to coming back for another tour and to explore more of the beautiful sights the Loire has to offer. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
