AFTER COVID INFORMATION : about visiting small private family owned wineries

The pandemic did not make things easier for visiting wineries and wine tastings : most of the small private ones ones who used to open their door for me and my guests until 2020 did not welcome anybody for ​the time of Covid, ​over 18 months and they realized that they sold their wines as well… without organizing or taking care of any visits… good experience for them, not for us the guides who look for interesting visits and tastings !
Added to that, the last harvests have been very low (because of global weather changes) : as a consequence, most small private wineries do not have much to sell, which does not encourage them to spend time with visitors.​ Yes 2022 was a superb crop, but still in barrel.
In 2023 they propose 2021 vintage, which was, in quantity, about 30 % of a normal harvest…​
