I set up this blog to cover my trip on an old Solex motorbike from Chablis to Sablet in Provence in 2009. Over 40 days I visited 80 winemakers (some world-famous and others still unknown) as I rode through Burgundy, Beaujolais and down the Rhone valley.
I am now frequently invited on trips for journalists, so the blog now covers the whole country. Even so, the focus is strongly on my area, the southern Rhone.

So click here to continue the adventure.
What's this blog, then?
This is my new experimental blog. My full blog is still at terredevins. This independent blog will cover all of my Solex travels in the vineyards and will showcase the vignerons and wines of northern provence around Sablet.
I moved to France ten years ago and started this blog as I rode my 1966-model Solex motorbike from Chablis to Sablet in May and June 2009. As a journalist with L’Amateur de Bordeaux, I have a professional obligation to taste as much as I can, and this blog covers all of my wine-based travel, whether through the heartland of South France or Hong Kong and Australia. I am planning, as the French would say, to “recidive” soon with a trip along the Loire.
