Description

What does it take to follow your dreams?


The wine filled my mouth with plum and blackberry sensations.

'Delicious.' A picture of a vineyard drenched in sunlight formed in my mind. Sean drew me rudely back to our small suburban home.

'How can they be in liquidation if they make wine this good?'


When Caro and Sean find the perfect vineyard near Bordeaux their dreams of a new life in France are about to come true. They arrive, with a toddler and a newborn, to face a dilapidated farmhouse, and challenges including accidents with agricultural equipment, cultural misunderstandings, and money worries. Undeterred, they embark on the biggest adventure of their lives - learning to make wine from the roots up.


Filled with vivid descriptions of delicious wines, great food, humour, and stunning landscapes, this is a unique insight into the world of the winemaker, and a story of passion, dedication, and love.


Do Caro and Sean succeed in their thrilling quest? Is completely changing your life a good idea?
