I have known the region and its vineyard since childhood as my family owns a beautiful wine estate based between Sète and Montpellier. Obviously I love good wines and good food and I enjoy cooking and share good meals with friends. I also like gardening to grow my own fresh herbs and vegetables. With a wine degree I have started to work in wine industry more than 20 years ago, working in wine shops and wine bars. As I like to meet people and share my passion I have then started to work as a wine guide 3 years ago. It is a great way to share my knowledge of wines from the Languedoc and the secret places of our beautiful region. The Languedoc wine region is the largest in France and produces a great variety of wines presenting an amazing value for money. Around Montpellier you can visit the famous and beautiful Pic Saint Loup wine region, or the Thau lagoon where we have oyster production that combines very well with our Picpoul de Pinet crisp white wine or even the quaint medieval village of Saint-Guilhem-le-désert and its fabulous wines. I would be also pleased to show you the city of Montpellier itself, its medieval history and the château winery, so-called "Folie" where the gentry of time had their summer house. I am of course ready to customize tours according to your wishes, for example if you want to discover the local gastrnomy (markets, cheeses, olive oil. . . ) or the local heritage (city of Sète, Pont du gard, roman arena in Nîmes. . . ). I am available if you have any questions or special requests. Wine degree Licenced driver Local guide I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments.
