Publishers Text

There is more to buying wine abroad than pushing a trolley round a Calais hypermarket. This book explains how to go to France for a short trip (anything from a long weekend to a week or more), enjoy real local food and atmosphere, and make contact with some of the best winegrowers. It covers four regions, all of which are within reach for a long weekend: the Loire, Champagne, Burgundy and Alsace. The book is aimed at readers who enjoy wine, enjoy food, and would like to visit France for a weekend or more, stay somewhere comfortable, eat some good meals and visit a couple of chateaux or vineyards. It includes suggested routes (including scenic wine routes) and recommended hotels, an overview of each region, and information on producers to visit - whether you can just turn up or need to make an appointment, whether they speak English, how to survive a tasting, and how to spot a winery worth visiting from the roadside.
