Background: In Nordiska we have a member of the managing committee called "ClubExclusive-chief". His duty is to offer the members special events that are not connected to sports or our normal parties. They should be smaller, something special and for members only - exclusive... This year Henrik Hillerström is in charge, and he organized a wonderful wine tasting trip to Bourgogne...

Andreas Meier, Jenny Ivarsson and Christer "Cico Boberg discussing the days programme.

Henrik wanted to guide us to a nice wine castle. Unfortunately we didn't find the right way, so we found us self driving in the middle of the grape fields...

There were grapes all over...

The entrance to a nice wine castle - were we of course had to try the wine...

But before that we joined a guided tour around the wine castle.
Here is Anna Limburn listening to the guide.

In the wine cellar of the castle - Cico listening to the guide.

There was wine as far as you could see...
Mmmmm....

Finally we got to the wine tasting.

Sometimes it is better to be more than one when you are reversing...

Anna and Henrik tasting some wine at another vineyard we were.

A lot of wine makes you hungry!!!

Here we parked to go eating on saturday evening.
As you can see - grapes as far as you can see...

On saturday evening we went to eat at a rustic place that looked like it had been a wine cellar in earlier days.

On sunday we went to see another castle.
By chance there were some nice old english sports cars parked outside...

Charlotte, Jan-Anders, Maria and Jenny.
 

This is the next castle that we visited.

This air plane is not wrong parked amongst the grapes - the former owner of the castle was an air plane collector - as well as motor cycles and Abarths...

At this castle we did not get any professional guide, so Henrik took the job, and guided us around the castle...

Here you see a part of the air plane collection...

Two pictures from inside the castle.
We immediately started to imagine having a big Nordiska party here... :-)

This picture is from a little village where Henrik wanted to stop to have some more wine...

...and he also found the local wine dealer - to have some more tasting...

Above that village we had a beautiful view over the main valley of Bourgogne.

The small village is surrounded by grapes...

I think we all had a very nice trip - thanks to the perfect organization of Henrik!
