Travel Diary of the Savoy

Travel Diary of the Savoy

The snow welcomed us to Savoie. There were no snow tyres on one of the rental cars, so we were in for a week full of surprises!

The workshop, held by a small enthusiastic group in the scent of wood, reminded us of a mountain chalet. The only thing missing was hot chocolate, but we tried a glass of Mondeuse instead! After a few shivering conversations, we warmed up in the car, discovering fabulous landscapes: steep vineyards in the shadow of snow-capped peaks.

This region amazed us with the diversity of its winemakers' backgrounds. Worthy heirs to the mountain farmers, they impressed us with their strength of persuasion, ready to defend a vision of their terroirs that reflects their own! 

Many of them have also changed careers. With conviction and passion, they embrace their new lives.
