Harvest Season in the Vineyards along the French Riviera
September 18th, 2009 by discover
After getting back from Paris, we took a drive into the French countryside to see if we could find the grape pickers picking the grapes that will go into the best provencal wines. Le vendage as it’s called takes place for about three weeks – and it’s a race to empty the vines before the beginning of the rainy season, which starts any time after the 15th of the month. We lucked out and found a small vineyard with the workers carefully cutting the plump purple Mourvedre grapes.
