WU Clients: Sandra Myers & Don Walker, USA

Salut! We have just got back from our whirlwind visit to France and I wanted to let you know that we found the St Gayan Gigondas in our local wine shop! How easy was that! Needless to say, we bought a case. Thank you so much for our wonderful day with you. It was the highlight of our trip. Don & I have been on numerous wine tours before, particularly in Napa, but our tour with you was something special. Thank you! Sandra Myers p.s. thanks also for the lunch recommendation at Les Florets. The food was to die for!

Justfrance.com Clients: Cheryl Ellis + three, USA

Olivier & Janet – Thank you both so much for a thoroughly enjoyable day. It exceeded our expectations! And I am copying Kelly on this note as well, so that she knows how highly we recommend the experiences we had with each of you. First, we had no idea the extent of the historical significance of Vaison and we are even happier that we chose this location, after hearing all the great stories from Janet. Her command of the subject is truly impressive and provides great context for fully enjoying this area. As for Olivier, his wit and humor, combined with his knowledge of wine, and description and importance of the terroir, helped us to further appreciate the wonderful wines we tasted. Both of you are a true pleasure to spend time with and learn from. We truly appreciate your getting our week off to a great start. Cheryl Bonini Ellis

Thank you so much for the passion and energy you put into making our tour excellent. We both learned so much and are excited to continue exploring French wine here in Texas (we even found some Roquefort cheese to pair with our heavy or sweet wines!!) Thank you for making this experience unforgettable! -Sarah and Clayton Marshall

WU Clients: Richard & Caroline Yates, UK

Olivier: Thanks for the great tour last week. It was just the right amount of information, reality, and fun. We ended up dining at Les Florets that Wednesday evening and had a lot of fun with a simultaneous side by side of Garrigue’s 2013 Gigondas and a 2009 Vaqueyras old vines. Thanks again and Caroline and I look forward to another session with you in the next couple of years (perhaps with some Provencal cooking lessons thrown in). Cheers, Richard Yates

Tour: Full Day Tour, June 2015

WU Clients: Sheera & Zac Gross, USA

Thanks so much for the very fun, interesting and informative wine tour! Zack and I have been commenting on how much we learned! We were discussing how much these wines would cost in the US so we looked up all of the wines we bought when we got home. They don’t seem to sell most in the us except the Alain jaume wines. The chateauneuf du pape we bought for 20 euros sells for an average of $60! So you should tell your other US clients to stock up!

Tour: Full Day Tour November

WU Clients: Stephen and Judy Galvin, USA

It seems only yesterday that we were visiting wineries in the Southern Rhône with you.I had planned to sort through all my photos and send some to you right after our trip to France. Sadly, Paris and now San Bernardino intruded and pushed my plans out of mind. Both frightening events left me resolved to move forward in life and not let terror keep me from the things that are meaningful to me. So call this a little gesture of defiance to the terrorists. I hope you enjoy these photos and I hope you are enjoying the good wines of Gigondas, Chateanueuf-du-Pape and Rasteau to name a few. Stephen and Judy Galvin
