Wendy's knowledge of the industry and the area was impressive. Her lovely personality meant that even a novice like me learnt lots about the wine in this area and the people who make it. A unique and very fulfilling way to appreciate this beautiful part of the world. more

Whatever your experience with wine, Wendy will open up whole new levels of appreciation. I was traveling with a friend who's really an expert on wine and Wendy really deepened her experience of the region's wines. For me, she opened a window on really savoring wine as I hadn't before. Another couple on the tour didn't know much about wine... more

We were a family group, staying for a week in a villa in Pepieux, close to Olonzac. From the time Wendy collected us from our house to her delivery many hours later the time flew. We wondered if we'd be up to wine tasting at 10 AM, but no problem! Wendy was very knowledgeable and congenial, so that we had... more

Wendy collected us from our hotel and drove us to the Corbieres region. On the journey, what I liked in particular, was that Wendy spoke to us about our wine knowledge and preferences before she started. Her talk included history, people, grapes, wines, where to buy and where not to buy,most informative but presented in a conversational way. We visited... more

Wendy's wine tour was the highlight... more

We scheduled our June tour in advance with Wendy and it was one of the best days in our week in southern France. Wendy picked up the four of us in Lagrasse and along with a couple from Scotland we ejoyed her expertise and enthusiasm for the unique area of the Corbieres. It is a treat to spend time with... more

My family and I orgainised a wine tour with Wendy, and without doubt it was the highlight of our holiday in Rieux. Wendy is informative and charming. We all came away understanding alot more about french wine, and with a few extra bottles to squeeze into our luggage to take home! The meal we had out with Wendy which was... more

We're from California and a half hour away from the Napa Sonoma wine area, and fancied ourselves quite knowledgeable about the growth and production of wines. However, the Appelation in Southern France is quite unique in many respects, and Wendy was an excellent resource to learn more about the area. She is not only knowledgeable, but very personable, and the... more

My husband and I just returned from a mid-July vacation to France and Wendy's tour was one of the highlights. We started with a late morning wine tasting and then enjoyed a gourmet picnic in a beautiful, quiet country park...complete with wine, of course! In the afternoon we visited another charming winery followed by a trip to explore the charming... more

My husband, a friend of ours, and I took the Minervois and Cathar Castles tours with Wendy in May. It was a great combination of wonderful food and wine along with beautiful scenery; the Queribus castle in particular offered us the most spectacular views of the Pyrenees. The choices of vineyards was perfect; small, family run, intimate. You really feel... more
