Wine Stories:
2009 - Wanted to say how much we enjoyed the two tours we arranged with you; Reims was a great, albeit damp day, Reng incredibly knowledgeable, a great driver and wonderful tour guide. Lunch was almost too much! The tour was a great way to see the strengths of small and large producers. The cathedral was magnificent.
Charlotte was a delight; so bright and knowledgeable, we loved all the wine bars; they really had a wonderful authentic feel and the wine choices gave us lots to learn.
I would certainly not hesitate to recommend your tours to anyone; both guides were interesting, informative and showed us a sample of Paris and France we would have missed on our own. Again thanks, Ellen
2009 - My friends and I just returned from our Champagne tour. Our guide Vincent was the best. He was very knowledgeable, nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend the tour to friends. Please give Vincent an extra thank you from all of us! Cheers, Tara
2008 - Just wanted to pass on our thanks for organising the wine tour Charlotte was fantastic - please pass on to her our thanks. We had a great evening. Just a pity our time in Paris was so short this year - will have to try and do better next time!Murray

In 2005 there were 134 vineyards on the Ile de France producing 33,000 bottles of wine. The most famous now is the Clos de Montmartre where today you can visit the vineyard and taste the wine they produce.
