Rodolphe was amazing! He is an expert on wine and made our tour incredibly educational
Helene was absolutely amazing and had an immense amount of knowledge that exponentially increased my appreciation and enjoyment of the wines we tasted. I learned so much and her encyclopedia-like expertise on wine, processes, chateaus, and history, paired with her friendliness made this an unforgettable experience. Thank you Helene!!!
