We had coffee first and after carpooling to Clairan for wine and honey testing.
Honey testing was set up on this old farm; there were quite a few kinds of honey, and products made with honey, cakes and nougats. . The hosts also were serving coffee and slices of cakes. I had some nice cake with fruit and nuts and delicious coffee. People in our group didn’t really like the “American style coffee” but Mark and I just love it.
We bought a little honey sample jars and one jar with lots of fruits in honey, they all looks delicious and I have no doubt that they are delicious :)
There were many people at the honey testing and all around; people walking, people sitting around having picnic with families and kids. The French really like to go out on Sunday! Sunday all stores are closed, so people here are always going out on a Sunday to different events, from cultural to outdoors.
After stuffing ourselves with al the goodies, half of the group decided to go for a 10 km balade (easy hike); I was happy!!!
We walked mostly through the vineyards and also some very little villages. The scenery was very picturesque, I really enjoy it.
At the end of the hike we went to the wine testing place, but in the meantime there were tons on people there and we did not want to wait in line for the wine.
However inside the presentation room the hosts have set up a dark chocolate fountain surrendered by many fruits: strawberry, banana, kiwi, oranges, grapefruit. I did not have any wine but I had LOTS of chocolate, it was the Best!
