Wonderful experience - Two couples did the tour . Emilie was so knowledgeable about all of the wines that we sampled. She provided a delicious lunch in a beautiful outdoor setting at one of the wineries. We would highly recommend this tour!

Superb entertaining scenic tours, amazing food, wine and company.…. - We were lucky enough to enjoy two day tours with Emilie, a sommelier with international training and experience. The first was around Calvi and the second to Bastia via Saint Florian. Pre tour Emilie was very helpful in planning our two days and we were not disappointed by the reality. She went out of her way to make our days with her (and Laika, her young border collie) unforgettable providing us with great insights on Corsicas history, spectacular scenery and its food and wine. The winery visits each day were beautifully done whilst one of the highlights was the picnic lunch in a “secret location”. This featured local Corsican food (provided from a friends delicatessen, superb and tasty) plus wine from a local winery always set in a spectacular location within a vineyard. We are very much looking forward to returning to sample more unique locations. Very very highly recommended.

A beautiful romantic experience - My boyfriend and I had an unforgettable time with Emilia who knew how to pass on some of her immense knowledge of Corsican wines. The wines were delicious, the view magnificent, the picnic succulent, the winemakers welcoming and warm. We had a great time and recommend it 100%. Thanks again Emilie for everything! Sara & Renaud

An unforgettable day in the vineyards - A beautiful meeting with Émilie who introduces you to local wines but also the history of wineries. She is a passionate who takes you on this magnificent discovery. She had organized a picnic of the vines with local dishes and of course a glass of wine of your choice. Finally Emilie is a source of advice to indicate the good places to discover around Calvi. I recommend ++++++

Great Corsica Wine Tour - Emilie and Laika were amazing tour guides! I can’t recommend this tour enough. Emilie is very knowledgeable and takes you to excellent vineyards. The picnic provided was also excellent. The goat cheese included may have been the best I’ve ever been. Book this tour for a great experience in Corsica!

A must for wine lovers visiting the Calvi area. - Emilie took us on a fascinating tour of an organic vineyard in Calenzana, followed by wine tasting and a picnic of local foods. It was an absolute delight. Her knowledge of wine making is very impressive and as this was the start of our holiday she also gave us lots of useful information on visiting the area. The wines and food were delicious. We purchased 2 bottles of organic wine from the vineyard, which we drank later that week and because it was organic, no hangover!

Exceptional Wine tasting tour - Absolutely fantastic half day trip. Very personal private tour and very chilled and relaxed. Especially after a few of the wines!. Emilie picked us up from our hotel with her friendly dog Loca and we visited 2 Vineyards near Calvi. Emilie was very knowledgeable having worked on one of the Vineyards and gave detailed information about the wines. Also she had made the most fantastic picnic and set up a lovely table in the vineyard but then it started to rain. We still enjoyed great food and wine of course. Exceptional trip.

Lovely local vineyard tour and picnic - A really lovely few hours at a local vineyard tasting their wines and learning about the process of wine making. Followed by a picnic in the vineyard. Emilie was friendly, knowledgeable and a good host. She even picked us up and dropped us back off at our hotel as we were close enough to the vineyard from Calvi. Thank you Emilie! 🍷🥂☺️
