Taste of Bordeaux June 29

We had a lovely day. Our tour left at 9:45a and returned 2.5 hours later. Our excursion was Fronsac Wine Tasting. We went to Château of La Rivière. It was a short, but rainy ride to our location. Such beautiful scenery with all the grapes growing on sloping hills and even through some pretty dense forest area. We had a tour of the limestone caves where they store wine. It was quite extensive. That was followed by the wine tasting. We did have some cheese, walnuts, and baguette to eat with it. It stopped raining for the trip back but it is still chilly. I did not bring clothing for cold weather!




We returned just in time for lunch in the dining room.That was tasty being appetizers, a salad followed by a duck leg with sides. Following that we had a crepe demonstration where we could participate in making our own crepe! That was fun. See the videos here: LINK 



At 5p they had a welcome back for all previous cruisers with AmaWaterways. Dinner was delicious as usual. I was exhausted so I was off to bed early. Stuart stayed up and watched the trio of lassical musicians, La Douce. He enjoyed it.
