We provide unique and very personal half day tours of some of the best wine producers in the Languedoc. Tours are for 2 to 6 people maximum and are tailor-made to your requirements. Tours are lead by our own professional and experienced wine expert who will educate and inform you about wine like few other tour guides can do. Unlike other tours we take you into the heart of the vineyards where you can see and touch the actual vines which make the wines you are tasting at that moment. Our special connections get you access to people and vineyards that few outsiders ever see or meet. We also take you to see some of the best kept sites and secrets of the Languedoc.
You will come away with your senses brimming with new experiences, smells and flavours.

5.00Had a wonderful wine tour with Alex, whose knowledge and enthusiasm for the Languedoc wine region and wine in general makes for a perfect trip. Definitely one of the best wine tours we have ever taken.
Wonderful day out

5.00Alex is the owner of Vins & Vinos and, having spent over 40 years in the wine trade, there isn’t much he doesn’t know, especially about wines of the Languedoc. He has a particular interest in lesser-known grape varieties and, as we like to seek these out too, a day spent in Minervois visiting vineyards and producers, and tasting wines made from grapes we’d never heard of (plus a few we had!) was absolutely perfect. Even the lunch we had at Aux 2 Rivières in Minerve, with the optional wine pairing for each course, couldn’t have been better, and the views from the terrace were spectacular.
A fantastic experience, we would 110% recommend

5.00An absolutely wonderful experience, from the very start of the day until we finished Alex was teaching us all about the wines of the local area. We saw some stunning views and met many lovely and welcoming people along the way as well as getting to same some of the best wines we’ve ever had. We can’t recommend this activity enjoy, the holing light of our entire trip 😁
Truly special experience

5.00I've been on many wine tours around the world, but this one stood out thanks to Alex's incredible knowledge, deep passion for the region and genuine enthusiasm for sharing it! His close relationships with the local winemakers gave us rare access, not just to the wines, but to the people and stories behind them which added depth to the experience. Alex planned the day thoughtfully, including a fantastic lunch in a charming village. He also designed the route to allow for exploration of the area, with plenty of opportunities to take in stunning views, adding to the day’s overall experience. If you enjoy wine and want to go beyond just tasting, this is a great way to connect with the region. I would absolutely recommend it!
A perfect day of wine, knowledge and laughter – unforgettable!

5.00We had the most incredible private wine tour with Alex during our trip to France – myself, my sister and our mom. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel in his comfortable car, we knew we were in great hands. Alex took us to three vineyards, each with its own charm and character. At the first stop, we got a private tour from the owner himself, walking us through the entire process – from the freshly picked grapes, through pressing, fermenting, bottling, storing, and all the intricate steps that go into making sparkling wine. We tasted four different wines and learned how even small variations in the process can create totally different results. Fascinating! Our second stop was at a larger vineyard, where we learned more about the aging process and got to sample even more wines in a beautiful setting. The third vineyard was a true highlight – although the owner wasn’t there, Alex had thought of everything. He packed glasses (with our names written on them!) and brought bottles so we could do a tasting among the vines. Standing there in the vineyard, sipping different varieties, was magical. We ended the tour at Alex’s wine shop Vins et Vinos in Carcassonne, where we had a delicious lunch of bread and charcuterie, and of course, more wine. Throughout the day, Alex shared his deep knowledge of the region, the grapes, the winemaking process, and the people behind it all. He could answer every question we threw at him (and we had a lot!). His passion and dedication are contagious – it’s clear he’s devoted his life to this, and it made the experience truly special. Whether you’re a wine novice or a seasoned enthusiast, I cannot recommend Alex’s tours enough. If you’re visiting the Languedoc region, book a tour with Alex. You’ll come away with great memories, a deeper appreciation for wine, and maybe a few bottles too 😉

5.00This was an incredible experience. Alex was so knowledgeable about the vineyards, the wine varieties, the culture of wine, the local geology, the history of the region, and the food in the area. This was the best trip I have even been on to tour wineries and vineyards. I highly suggest others to go on this trip.
Great tour with Alex

5.00Great tour! Alex was extremely knowledgeable and really loves what he does. The tour was very generous with the variety of wines we sampled. We were especially lucky to see some of the production of the sparkling wine. The lunch and additional wine tasting at Alex's shop was an added bonus. It was a great day!
A brilliant experience

5.00Me and my partner did the half day tour and throughly enjoyed it. Before the tour neither of us knew much about wine but even after the first 20mins in the car with our guide Alex we’d already doubled our knowledge and by the end of the tour felt we had been throughly educated. We visited 3 vineyards and tried multiple wines from each, and in the drives between them Alex provided facts on the history, science and modern culture of wine in the area and as a whole. This was all finished by a lunch at his shop with some lovely meats, cheeses, more wine and a well made presentation. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience!
Well worthwhile tour - learnt a lot and enjoyed tasting the local wines where they are made. Literally!!
