Note:
This programme has been designed to use the same vehicle for the wine tasting visit and the spouses' programme. This will obviously keep costs down. If expense is not an issue a totally separate programme could be designed specifically around the 'petit producteurs'of the region - tasting goats' cheese, olive oil, honey, chocolate, cookery classes etc.

We have similar programmes for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace etc. If you would like us to provide a quotation for you, please with your requirements.
