not only would the current generation of Drouhins join us that night on board, but we were invited for a private dinner with Christine and Philippe Drouhin-Laroze at their home in Gevrey-Chambertin the following evening – and we would help to cook it using local produce.

The estate belonged to an Italian composer, but was just recently completely refurbished. The have a complimentary house shuttle boat to transport guests between the Positano marina and the hotel.
