U3A Burgundy Visit

Some comments from people on our excellent wine trip:
 “I found Beaune a lovely place and the surrounding villages.  We had some superb meals in the wineries”………………..……Cynthia
”Learned a lot about wine”……………..…….Lise
“Thoroughly enjoyed the visit and learnt so much about wine.  Wonderful early autumn sunshine to complete the visit”…………..……Pat
“We enjoyed the wine trip enormously”…..…Beth
“Very happy memories of our visit ranging from the mechanic lying under our coach when we emerged from the splendour of Chateau de Beaune to the very good spitting that some mastered, to the large restaurateur who reorganised tables to accommodate us so that we could sit under the vine leaves with the local pompiers, to the man suspected of theft who was chased by security men in Carrefour when queuing up to pay for my wine…………….…Jean
“I really enjoyed myself and returned feeling very refreshed and a little more knowledgeable about wines”………..……………………….Natalie
