What to expect
Your guide, a wine merchant with WSET3 credentials, meets you in the morning and walks you through two producer estates, discussing terroir and technique whilst you taste. You'll encounter the region's unusual oxidative wines and delicate whites—not mainstream French styles. A leisurely lunch follows at a local restaurant known for pairing wines with regional cooking. The afternoon brings a third visit, whether to another vineyard or a picturesque village, before heading home. Expect to taste methodically and ask questions; this isn't a casual jaunt but a structured exploration.
