A fun and informative way to pass a couple of hours, with lots of information and a good selection of local wines to try. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and it was a good mix of people. We also bought a couple of bottles to drink on our trip and they were delightful!

Excellent and diverse selection of tasting wines presented in an informative and engaging manner. Different regions and methodology were explored and discussed in a relaxed and inclusive environment. We very much enjoyed the experience and the generous bread, cheese and charcuterie platter.

Really interesting couple of hours learning about immensely quaffable wines of the Languedoc-Roussillon region. It's always a pleasure when you host is passionate about what they do (and when the cheese is good too)

This was a fun and educational experience! We tasted 8 wines, including the cremant de limoux and rose, whie and red wines made from the grapes of the local terroir. Very tasty cheese was also included. I have a new appreciation for the creative blends of old and newer varietals. Wonderful!
