Hey there!

We're Jeff & Brittany, two wine-loving travelers (or travel-loving wine-Os depending on the day!) and here you'll find the ins and outs of our journey. We share our best travel tips and must see locations, under the radar wines, hidden restaurants, and hints to taste wine like a pro across the globe. So, fellow Vino Vagabond, grab a glass (or two) and lets hit the road! Cheers!

  For our foray into vine management in the South of France, we feel it would be more interesting to watch the vines develop through video as well as pictures. As I mention in the video, the vines we are working with are a bit more gnarly than most others you will see in a vineyard or at a chateau.

This photograph is an example of our vines compared to the more common vine training method used here in Provence and also in the Napa Valley.

For additional reference, here is a closer look at the main parts of the vine that may have been hard to see on the video:
