From Van to Vineyard: A Luxury Campsite Experience in Bordeaux
In our latest adventure, we took our Sprinter van to the famous Bordeaux wine region of France and were pleasantly surprised by the charming village of Saint-Émilion. We also stumbled upon a hidden gem of a campsite at a small winery, where we indulged in delicious wine, a gourmet cheese board, and even had our own private jacuzzi! To top it all off, we installed our new Starlink for seamless internet access on the road.
Here’s a glimpse of our Bordeaux experience:
Exploring Saint-Émilion: This medieval village is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning architecture, underground caves, and world-renowned wines. We wandered through its cobblestone streets, admired the beautiful churches and chateaus, and visited a few local wineries to sample the region’s finest wines.
Relaxing at a Hidden Winery: We discovered a charming campsite nestled within a picturesque vineyard, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed spending the evening sipping wine, eating delicious food, and soaking in the hot tub.
Installing Starlink: As full-time van lifers, staying connected is essential. Curt installed Starlink on the back of our van, providing us with high-speed internet access no matter where we are in the world. This will be a game-changer, allowing us to stay in touch with friends and family, work remotely, and share our adventures with our followers.

I’ve enjoyed watching all your videos. You both are amazing. Happy New Year 🎆 🎉 can’t wait for your new adventures. 😊
❤ another amazing video you guys are living the best life 🎉
Glad to see you back but, I have to say that you guys seems to have changed your video formats. Not so much the fun loving aspect as in South America. You’ve added more history in a very sedate way. Have fun guys.
What a great time you had there… how fun and relaxing!
What beautiful wines. I bet they were unique and delicious!
Great video
Wow!! What a great video. I've really missed you guys! Your charcuterie board looked wonderful, it made me hungry. Just finished my breakfast of a honey bun and large glass of chocolate milk! Can hardly wait to see your next one! Luv U Guys ❤
What a wonderful episode!! ❤🍷
Good times ! Cheers and Happy New Year ! 🍷🍷
🥂🍷🥂🍷🥂🍷
That vineyard's 100Euro pricetag was WELL worth every cent! With good French wine, you really do get the benefit of centuries of experience in extracting the best the grape – and the vigneron's skill – can offer. Happy you got to appreciate that.
Thanks for this beautiful view of a historic French town that's not on everyone's list to visit.
I keep thinking about your proposed journey to west Africa. Can you really do that safely? So many places on Earth are in the midst of one kind of crisis or another…
Thank you for sharing the wine Amazing there is so much wine. 🎉🎉. Happy New Year 🎉🎉 safe travels. Btw love y’all channel
The older the church the less ornate they were. I loved the simplicity.
💝❣💖 Loved the town. Loved the church. Loved your meals and wine tasting. Loving your continuing travels. Looking forward to 2025. Take care. ❇❇❇
What a Beautiful town, and the church was absolutely beautiful! I Love to see all the older churches. I would just Love to go to a mass there, Awesome!
Thanks for taking us along.
Safe Travels, Blessings 💕
Looks like an awesome village to visit.
AND A LOT OF WINE!
Curt, you could be a food and wine critic…you have a way of expressing yourself that is very enjoyable to watch.
Hi there. Your little translator (I think that is what it is?), what brand is it? How would you rate it? Stu
Can you keep your satellite dish attached and have internet while you are driving down the road, or do you have to be stationary?
…love u 2! of course! what a change from last year!…smoothed out the rough edges! Enjoy the moments! and to share! We are blessed !
Im new. I am about 30 sessions in to the Mexico trip. I have questions. How long did it take you to plan your journey? What happens if you run out of money? What do you do if you have an argument?
Such an enjoyable experience. Thank you for sharing the adventure.
Salmon and zucchini lasagna—-YUM!😊
I love France.

Happy New Year, I Watch you every week but rarely comment. I was in Bordeaux and St -Emillion last spring and had an amazing time. Once you get out of Paris, French people are very warm and welcoming. Santé !
Wonderful video!

The macarons look insane! I'd probably eat a dozen in one sitting. Has anyone tried them before? How do they compare to other macarons? 🍪🤤
