Wendy was very knowledgeable about the wine, the terroir and the history and she imparted her love of the area to us. I am sure we would not have found the 2 wineries that we visited by ourselves and we had a very passionate explanation of the organic and bio-dynamic wine making at the first visit in Montflaur which kept...

We thoroughly enjoyed our Vin en Vacance experience. Wendy was an excellent guide with an indepth knowledge of the wine industry and history of the region. She made our experience both entertaining and educational. We started our day with a visit to an organic vineyard situated up high with amazing views and were given an opportunity to taste a selection... More

Wendy was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and interesting. Her stories made the wine come alive, connecting the wines with the region, its terroir and its history. If and when we return this tour is a must.

Absolutely amazing. The wineries we went to were superb and the picnic at Domaine de la Dourbie was outstanding. Marcel's knowledge of wine & food helped create the whole experience. The visit to Sainte Cecile Du Park Winery really impressed us and the wine was wonderful. This tour should be a priority on your things to do.

This was a great day out. Wendy and Peter were fantastic hosts and were both entertaining and knowledgeable both about wines and also regarding the local history of the region. We had an enjoyable midday lunch in Domain Gaya and pushed on to the home of Sparkling Wine and onwards to Chateau Martinolles. Thoroughly enjoyable and fantastic value for the... More

We had a wonderful experience with Wendy as a guide while visiting wine producers in La Clape. Wendy is a fountain of knowledge about the history of Languedoc-Roussillon as well as the art of winemaking and we learnt a lot in just a few hours. We had lunch at a marvellous restaurant by the sea (which we clearly would not... More

I recently visited the Languedoc with 3 girlfriends and we had the most fantastic day out with Wendy. What a treat!! She knows everything there is to know about the region, the wine, history, etc. and because of Wendy's nature we never felt like we were actually on a tour but rather out with a friend. She took us to... More

You will love this! Wendy & Marcel gave us a great day! Its an all-day tour of two vineyards, a goat farm and with an amazing lunch in the middle. Wendy really knows her wine, but lets you talk about your experience. She's a real enthusiast and you learn a great deal about wine and how it is made as... More

Wendy makes wine touring a comfortable and non threatening experience! Don't worry if your knowledge of wine is modest - she teaches you everything from the history of wine making in the south of France to the correct way to taste red, white and rosé wines. Wendy picked us up at the door or our apartment in Pezenas and we... More
