3 appellations
For wine lovers who want to see how expressive and different these delicious wines can be
Your trip begins when we pick you up in the morning and you begin a very comfortable ride to one of four different appellations. Depending on your initial starting point, we'll take you to 2 of the most representative wineries each day in 3 different appellations which have been carefully hand-selected by us together with our oenophile friends of the area over years. Lunches will be family style with a few local wines, and on both evenings you'll be able to see how well the best wines pair with a gourmet dinner at a local restaurant or in your beautiful boutique hotel. We'll give you a profound look into why this area is so special.
​
I'll be with you all the way to ensure you get the most out of the visits and tastings and will also be with you at check in to your exquisite boutique hotels, as well as ensuring all the wines are perfectly paired for your evening 4 course gourmet dinner.
What To Expect
6 family owned award winning winery visits with guided tasting
Transport to and from your dwellings and to all the locations during the 3 days
2 lunches at local restaurants with wine pairings from the appellations being visited (2 courses and wine included)
2 gourmet dinners (4 courses) with wines carefully paired by us and the chef​​
As a guest of Phil and Geneviève, the family run wineries will welcome you to their vineyards for a truly unique experience you will not receive on any other generic wine tour. This is a wonderful opportunity for any wine enthusiast to meet and talk with some of the best winemakers in France in a beautiful and casual setting.
