Wine, History and nibbles with Alex - Lovely afternoon in the company of Alex and an interesting presentation of the history of wine in the region, whilst tasting 8 different wines and plenty of charcuterie, bread and cheese. A must do event when visiting Carcasonne.

Delightful and informative - Alex did a fantastic job of explaining everything you might want to learn about wines. We were able to taste eight different types of wine and he included a wonderful food board with bread, cheeses, meats and sardines. I never knew how interesting and informative a class like this could be. Don't pass up this opportunity!

A memorable trip - We had a really fabulous time with Alex. We visited 3 different vineyards , sampled their wines and learned a lot about the area along with the winemaking. Alex is very knowledgeable and easy company. We finished up in the shop, with a lovely lunch and a few more wines to taste. Thank you Alex for a memorable trip. Would wholeheartedly recommend this trip if you are in the area.

Amazing experience - I felt compelled to write this review because we had such a fantastic time. Alex, I’m sorry it’s taken so long. First of all Alex went out of his way to make it personal. We were nervous about coming because we had an 18 month year old in tow, but he assured us it wouldn’t be a problem and it wasn’t. Extremely knowledgable, very generous with portions of wine and cheese, we left full, a little bit tipsy and very very glad we took the time to visit. Hope to see you again sometime!
