A day on the Riviera, shaped with you

Based in Nice, I create and host private days shaped around wine, gastronomy, culture and the places that give the French Riviera its character.

Each experience begins with you: what you are curious about, how you like to travel and the rhythm you want for the day. Hosted in English, French or Turkish, each day brings together wine, local knowledge and an international perspective.

What your day can bring together

Depending on your interests, an experience might bring together:

A private wine tasting or an introduction to the wines of the region
Markets, artisans and local producers
Gastronomy and carefully chosen places to eat and drink
Art, architecture and cultural discoveries
Riviera towns, villages and landscapes worth taking time to explore

The details, from the pace of the day to the places we stop, are decided together.

From Nice to Monaco and beyond

From Nice, Monaco, Antibes and Saint-Paul-de-Vence to the coastal villages and the Provençal hinterland, the day can focus on the part of the Riviera that best suits your interests.

A personal way to discover the Riviera

Designed for private travellers, couples and small groups, these experiences suit guests who value wine and gastronomy, cultural curiosity, local insight and the freedom to shape the day around their own interests.

I am a wine consultant and educator, DipWSET and Certified Sommelier, based in Nice. Fluent in English, French and Turkish, I bring together professional wine experience, knowledge of the region and a warm, personal approach to hosting.
