In the Pursuit of Local Provençal Honey Fresh from the Farm
Cheryl Shufflebotham · Local Food Producers · TasteNeed a break from wine tasting? How about Provençal honey tasting? Although, I don’t think anyone tires of wine tasting, especially when in Provence and having access to Côtes du Rhône wine in abundance.
