Unique Wine tastings right at home in the South of France
My family have been winegrowers for 5 generations, I believe wine is above all a story of roots.....
I grew up between the vineyards and winery of my parents, who made their own wine for many years, a fascinating adventure which inspired me enormously.
Travelling extensively throughout France and Europe I have built up a vast knowledge of the wine industry.
However it was during a working holiday in New Zealand that I discovered New World wines and wine tourism which led me to recognise the importance of the unique diversity and history of the wines of my native Languedoc.
The rest of my journey is varied including managing a highly regarded cellar in Toulouse, and locally representing some of Languedoc’s most prestigious Domains.
Today, I would like to share with you my experience and extensive research work on the most beautiful wine nuggets of Languedoc, through fun, educational tasting experiences that introduce you to some of the most passionate and artisanal winegrowers of the region.
In the comfort of your own home, Languedoc Wine Experience offers an enlightening and rewarding moment of tasting pleasure, convivial sharing and unique discovery in the South of France!
