Well, I am not actually teetotal. I very occasionally drink, but I don't drink wine. I would love to love wine because it seems like a nice thing to enjoy, but I just don't like the taste.
As part of the trip to Nice, we visited a vineyard though:
Domaine de Toasc. Located on the East hillside of the Plaine du Var, they have 7 hectares of vine and 2 hectares of olive trees - and beautiful views of the city. In addition to the wine tasting, they also offer event space for seminars and receptions. Scattered around are also a number of art pieces, most of them wonderfully eccentric!
I did give the wine a try, but to be honest, it went from bad (
the rose) to worse (
the white) to terrible (
the red)... Just for me, I'd like to add. This is in no way an assessment of the quality of the wine and some of my fellow travelers bought a number of bottles, so I'm sure it is very nice for those who like wine.
