 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an AMAZING experience. We booked this tour for a birthday and just thought we were going to taste champagne however this exceeded our expectations. Our day was filled with learning, laughter, joy, delicious food and memories that will last forever. I definitely will not look at champagne the same. Thank you to Luiz for making our day awesome.

He was friendly and knowledgeable about the region. Overall this was the highlight of our trip to France and we would recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about Champagne!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Champagne tour was amazing and Luiz is the best!
Not only he is very knowledgeable about wine (he is a Wset 4!!!), but he can speak about, history, business, curiosities and other aspects of the region and the wines we tasted!
Always friendly, he accommodated to our needs of traveling with a baby and even helped us with restaurants and other wine visits / tastings during the rest of our stay.
I’ll definitely come back for Burgundy and Loire!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went on the North Burgandy Wine tour with my wife and it was wonderful.
Luiz made everyone super comfortable and the day fly by with his knowledge of the towns we visited as well as all the wines in the region.
The wines we had were spectacular, he really knows his stuff and I couldn't recommend this trip more.

Luis is a level 4 somm and has placed in blind tasting competitions - truly a privilege to get to do a tour with him! He and his wife were also so friendly and accommodating to our group.

The first winery had artwork in the cave, it was like a museum meets winery. Very unique experience.
