I am a French licensed guide and a wine guide. Food, wine and history are my passions. I have worked for 3 big wineries in Chateauneuf-du-Pape from 2012 until 2015 in exports departments, and this is how I was swept into the world of wine tasting and guiding. My tours include genuine contact with the region, its history, and tasting in small family run wineries. Connecting or reconnecting to the provençal way of living, culture and terroir is the keystone of all my tours. I was born in Provence in the black truffle and Grignan-les-Adhémar region, and travelled in some European countries during childhood and teenage. Don't hesitate to have a look at my tours or contact me for any excursions you might fancy in Provence. -French registered guide - card number GC1784002 -Post Graduate Diploma in English (teach English and French), Ph.D. level -WSET Wines and Spirits level 2 passed with distinction 96% -French Wine Scholar 85% -2nd-year diploma in tourism -International business degree I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

Sophie is the perfect person to show the town on Avignon and venture into wine country. She has forgotten more about the region's wineries than we will ever know! I could not recommend her more strongly.
Erin M.United States
Sophie was the perfect tour guide. She has a wealth of information on the area and a passion for what she does. She did a perfect job of incorporating the history with the modern. Not only was her tour informative for the history enthusiasts in our group, but her experience and knowledge of the local viniculture is vast and she put together a wonderful tasting for us too. She met every one of our requests. Whether your interest is history or wine, she is the expert to call upon.
