  Description

  We are a small family winery located in the Dordogne not too far away from Saint Emilion and Bordeaux. We do everything together, from breakfast to most of the jobs.
  Besides the vineyard we also have a Bed and Breakfast so we like people who are not afraid to chip in there as well besides the vineyard work.
  
  We run our business with only family members most of the time. My father Michel, my mother Erica and me Stan. And we have my grandpa's who also live on the property who also still help out every now and then but mostly during winter.
  
  A bit more about us :
  My mother Erica, loves food (And that's an understatement). She has always enjoyed cooking, and thus spends most of her time during the summer preparing delicious meals for everyone on the property (Guests and anyone involved with the vineyard).
  
  My father Michel, he loves wine and good company. During the high season he can mostly be found near our guests and around the house making sure everyone has a good holiday. Besides that he also does most of the administrative tasks and is often in the vineyard. And most important of all : He makes our wines! :D
  
  And then me Stan, I am mostly active in the vineyard. Have a great love for photography and enjoy a good meal with a good glass of wine with our guests. I also take care of most of the digital stuff for our business, and writing this at the moment to hopefully meet some new people who love outside work as much as I do.
  
  About the property :
  It's not a massive vineyard but still big enough to make sure we never get bored. Its about 36 hectares with 20 hectares of vineyard on it. Its one of the oldest vineyards around here. When my parents bought it back in 2002 ( We are Dutch of origin and moved to France) it was almost fully abandoned and left to be forgotten, Nowadays it is producing again and still gets better every year.
  
  There is a lot more to tell, but that would take away the fun of discovering ;)
  
  PS : we apologise if we don't answer a lot of email, we thought our profile was offline and got a lot of demands (hence the 0% reply rate). I will try to provide an answer from now on, but due to high demand I can't promise a direct reply :)
  
  Current task at hand will mainly be inside our vineyard with Stan.
