Built around your clients, not a standard itinerary

I design wine, gastronomy and cultural experiences around the people travelling: their interests, pace and the purpose of the trip.

My work can begin with the itinerary, continue with the selection of wineries, restaurants and experiences, or take me on the road with your guests as their wine expert and host. Based on the French Riviera, I work across France and internationally.

    • Tailor-made wine, gastronomy and cultural itineraries

    • Coordination with your agency, DMC or local partners

A flexible way of working

Some partners come to me for the design of a complete wine itinerary; others need an expert to host a programme already in place. I can also take care of both. The scope is shaped around the destination, the guests and the way your organisation prefers to work.

Experience across wine and travel

Wine travel has been part of my work since I entered the wine trade in 2007, initially accompanying clients and journalists to vineyards and wine regions, and later through Vinipedia, designing and hosting wine, gastronomy and cultural programmes for private and professional clients.

Over the years, I have accompanied groups through wine regions including Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, Piedmont, Tuscany, Rioja, Ribera del Duero and the Douro, alongside extensive experience in Turkey’s wine regions. My background also includes working within a French DMC, giving me a practical understanding of how itineraries, hospitality and on-the-ground operations come together.

I am DipWSET, a Certified Sommelier and Academy Chair France for World’s 50 Best Vineyards.
