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.
