Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel är ett amerikanskt resemagasin. De har en serie artiklar på temat ”de bästa resedestinationerna som du aldrig hört talas om”, där resespecialister ger sina tips om sådant som inte är så känt. De intervjuade Britt om en av de okända pärlorna i sydvästra Frankrike: Bergerac. Så här börjar artikeln:
Britt Karlsson: Cofounder of BKWine, with her husband, Per. The Paris-based company publishes wine newsletters and leads small-group gastronomy and wine tours throughout Europe (bkwine.com).
Born in Sweden and now living in Paris, Britt Karlsson spends half the year visiting about 200 wineries in Europe and South America in her roles as wine journalist, wine judge, wine consultant, and tour guide (on wine-themed trips, of course).
Bergerac is the name of both a wine region and a small city, but travelers often bypass both in favor of nearby higher-profile Bordeaux. And that’s a blessing, says Karlsson. Bergerac’s cobblestoned streets, inviting markets and shops, and location on the Dordogne River are so appealing that Karlsson now periodically includes the town as a stop—staying at the central Hôtel de Bordeaux—on her tours.
