French Wine Explorers offers wine tours of France led by wine professionals. Our goal is to take the mystery out of French wine in a friendly, non-snob atmosphere. We're offering 8 wine tours in 2003 to nearly all the wine regions of France, including the best French wineries, gourmet dining and fine hotels. We also create customized, private wine tours for groups of 4 or more guests. French Wine Explorers, an American tour company specializing in wine and culinary tours of France, is committed to taking the mystery out of the sometimes daunting world of French wine. The company’s tours offer guests a friendly, non-snob environment that's equally welcoming to wine novices and advanced wine enthusiasts. In 2003, the company will offer eight departures to Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Rhône Valley, Provence, Loire Valley and Beaujolais. The scheduled programs are fully escorted by Lauriann Greene and Jean-Pierre Sollin, two personable, certified sommeliers living in France who take a down-to-earth, fun approach to wine. Their extensive wine industry connections help open the doors to top French wineries for their guests. Among the highlights of the 2003 season: Best of Bordeaux, two tours including an unprecedented number of tastings at the most prestigious chateaus like Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Margaux, Haut-Brion, Mouton Rothschild, Léoville Barton, Cos d’Estournel, and others. The May Bordeaux tour is led by wine journalist Robin Garr of WineLoversPage.com; Cooking and Wine in Provence, a week of hands-on cooking and wine tasting classes, winery visits and sightseeing, in residence at a beautifully-restored, 16th century Provençale home; and two tours to Burgundy, one a luxury tour coupled with Champagne, the other including the Northern Rhône Valley, and both including the region’s best wineries and a special tasting of wines from Domaine de la Romanée Conti. The average group size of 10-12 guests keeps the tours intimate and ensures personal attention. All tours include deluxe, air conditioned transportation, 3 and 4 star hotels with private bath, gourmet meals, all wine tasting, sightseeing, and services of a bilingual wine expert throughout. Prices range from US$2,595 to US$4,595 per person, double occupancy, for these land-only packages. French Wine Explorers also offers private, custom-designed wine tours for groups of four or more guests wishing to choose their own dates and itinerary, accompanied by a bilingual wine expert. Corporate programs are also available, as well as special tours for wine and gourmet clubs and wine and restaurant professionals.
