Wine tours
Private wine tours in the Languedoc, with your own driver.
You taste, I drive. A half day or a full day among the vineyards, in a Mercedes V-Class, with an English-speaking driver who waits for you at every estate.
Two ways to do it
- You have booked your estates: I plan the route and timing, drive you from one tasting to the next and wait for you on site.
- A tailor-made day: tell me what you like (whites, reds, family-run estates, lunch among the vines) and we build the day together.
- Pick-up from your hotel, holiday rental or barge, and back to the same place.
Wine regions within easy reach
- Pézenas and the Languedoc Pézenas appellation, in the heart of the Hérault.
- Picpoul de Pinet, the white wine of the Étang de Thau, between Marseillan and Mèze.
- Faugères and Saint-Chinian, in the foothills of the Haut-Languedoc.
- Pic Saint-Loup and the Terrasses du Larzac, north of Montpellier.
- Further afield, the Minervois and the Corbières, all the way to Carcassonne.
Why with a driver
- Taste freelyNo worries about alcohol limits or driving after the tastings.
- No getting lostNarrow vineyard lanes and hard-to-find estates: I take care of it.
- Room for your purchasesYour cases of wine travel in the boot all the way back to your accommodation.
- At your own paceI wait as long as you need between visits, by the hour or for the whole day.
