Part one of my internship in France this summer has concluded. I have spent the past five weeks working alongside these two gentlemen in the gardens at Château d’Acquigny, about one hour due northwest of Paris. It was quite the experience and I know that I will cherish the time that I spent here. Each…

It was May 9, the day had finally come for me to leave for my study abroad program in France. I was so excited as this was my fist time out of the country. I had decided to fly to France alone because unlike the majority of people in my program, I live about four…

I wake up every morning to the most breathtaking mountaintop view I have ever seen! The green fields go on for miles. Classes start really early, so I am sitting in class at 8 am. After class, I and group of friends always head into town and eat at a local pizzeria or eat leftovers from the…

The Cortona viticulture and enology study abroad was more than I could have imagined. We learned about how to make wine, grow grapes, and visited multiple vineyards. We had wine tastings every day where we would smell the aroma of the wines and describe the scents as well as examine their flavor compounds. This was…
