Travel Experiences
Nothing beats the experience of visiting a wine region in person.
And we will do it again.
Winding through vineyards, meeting winemakers face-to-face, and sipping wine on the grounds where its grapes were grown provides a deeper understanding of that area and its wines.
Each region has a unique landscape, history and culture to explore.
So while we wait, we work even harder to create unique experiences to visit the wine regions of France, as chances are travel will be harder, so we will ensure its worth your while. So stay tuned

Enjoy local delicacies
Enjoy a combination of hand-picked local, new and classic restaurants, to experience the best food of the region.
Be inspired by the local food that works with wine in each region. You may find yourself brimming with new wine and food ideas to try at home.
Explore different landscapes
While good wine and food will be the highlight, your tour will be nicely balanced with some sightseeing and active days where you’ll get to walk or hike and explore beautiful landscapes in the region.
France’s wine regions have many unique landscapes to enjoy.

Classic or customised to suit you
Our classic tours include benchmark wineries and local wine education. Walking and more. We like to show you what’s happening in the region with biodynamic and organic wineries as well as other winemakers doing interesting things.
We eat at local and fancier restaurants, enjoy walks and a bit of sightseeing in between. We can customise for your own group, so if you want more or less wine, more or less walking we can make that work.
