Our wine tour with Sophie was an absolute pleasure. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines and vineyards, and her passion really came through. She was attentive to everyone's needs, always pleasant, and maintained a professional yet warm demeanor throughout the experience. We learned so much and felt well taken care of—highly recommended!

We had a lovely visit to two different wineries for tastings. We really enjoyed getting to see the caves and having the tastings inside the wine cave. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The transportation provided was very clean. I would highly recommend. It was pretty chilly in the caves, so dress warmly.
Highly recommend

Sophie was an excellent guide. She took our small group (2 couples) to 2 local wine caves to taste a number of their wines, which were delicious. She also provided charcuterie and chose boards to pair with the wines. She was very knowledgeable, personable and funny. We truly enjoyed this tour - and definitely had an experience we could not have had on our own. Highly recommend!
