One of the big travel trends this year is staying in a private rental apartment rather than a hotel.
What used to be mainly confined to ski and sunshine holidays has spread to city breaks too - so we checked out Housetrip to see what the fuss was all about.

The concept is simple; as a host, you can rent out your property through the website and as a guest, you can search through the listings then book and pay online.

Vendange today and as it was over 100 years ago.

Here at Real South Apartments we offer holiday gites, self catering gite holiday apartments in the village of Salles d Aude (Region Parc Naturel Narbonnaise) arks the question, "How times have changed" the vendange today and as it was over 100 years ago it would be hard for our predecessors to envisage the vendange of today.

The vendange is one of the most crucial steps in the process of wine making. The time of harvest is determined primarily by the ripeness of the grape as measured by sugar, acid and tannin levels with winemakers basing their decision to pick based on the style of wine they wish to produce. The weather can also shape the timetable of harvesting with the threat of heat, rain, hail, and frost which can damage the grapes and bring about various vine diseases. In addition to determining the time of the harvest, winemakers and vineyard owners must also determine whether to utilize hand pickers or mechanical harvesters. The harvest season typically falls between August & October.
