“We are leaving for three years as a family, to encounter women from all horizons, throughout the five continents. The door to their world? Sharing their meal with them, accompanied by a vintage French wine. We have called our project ‘Vents d’Anges’, a good name for a nice project. A whole family’s dream of sailing round the world, but not just that! Our aim is to share a passion for flavors from elsewhere and the wines from France, to create links with a woman at each stopover. Each time this will be the opportunity for a taste experience, a cultural opening experienced through a shared tasting: an intercultural and intergenerational emotion. Vent d’Anges will also tackle numerous subjects on its web site, open, simple and spontaneous exchanges in which everyone can participate: unexpected harmonies between dishes and wine, ‘street food’, the local produce, preparation of the hostesses’ dishes, tasting methods, and lots of other surprises depending on the encounters, which will be organized in over one hundred stopovers. The countdown has begun, we embark aboard our catamaran in July, the travelling wine cellar is almost ready, it is full of bottles and surprises for our hostesses on the other side of the world. In September, we will be passing via the Festival Nautique de Cannes, another way of talking about our adventure. And in October, we will be passing through the Gibraltar straits for this round the world trip which will be pioneering, unusual and collaborative.”
Olivier, Sandrine, Henri and Inès, soon to be aboard: ‘W-alter’.
