We had an incredible wine tour with Sarah - a fantastic English speaking guide. Her passion for wine and knowledge about the chateaux were evident throughout the tour. Sarah is very knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic, and her explanations about the wine-making process and the history of the chateau were very interesting. The wine tastings were also great! Our 3 kids (aged 7, 9 and 11) loved the tour too! I highly recommend this tour! *** Only issue is that google maps gave us very wrong directions and it was not easy to find the right entrance

Their cellar network was astounding. So much history behind this property. Not forgetting the lovely view of the vineyards from their courtyard. Sarah was a great host at the tasting.

What a great experience me and my partner had. Our guide Sarah explained the tour in such detail, that girl needs to be given a promotion. She has big passion and love for the work she does. I learned so much about the history and the wine.I highly recommend ??

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
