A great introduction to wine-tasting
Reviewed by A TripAdvisor Member on Oct 5, 2008


My wife and I were fortunate enough to join Brian and Hilary for a wine-tasting (just last night!) in Aix - neither of us had ever been to a tasting before, and were unsure of what to expect... We were very pleasantly surprised, the event was very intimate, since we were the only guests, which made the evening that much more enjoyable. Brian's & Hilary's knowledge of wine-tasting, and the industry is an excellent introduction to experiencing the wines of France, I'd recommend them to anyone visiting the area.

informative fun wine tour in Aix
Reviewed by A TripAdvisor Member on Sep 18, 2008


My husband and I recently recently returned from France and through friends we were encouraged to take a wine tour of the area surrounding Aix. We had a great time as Brian guided us through the countryside and in a relaxed, informal way taught us about the region and its wines. We happily sampled our way through the afternoon tasting different wines from different vineyards, stretching our legs if we wanted by walking the property. Brian and his partner Hillary are English speaking, fluent in French - this was very helpful and very much appreciated. We had so much fun we joined Brian and Hillary that night at a restaurant in Aix where the lessons continued. Brian kindly gave us little hints on the french culture and customs - this alone proved invaluable as we used the advice the rest of our time in France. In fact, Brian spent an extra hour (maybe more) looking over our maps, guiding us toward places to see when we went to Avignon and was very helpful about which markets to attend. He even referred us to which bike tour of Paris we should take (he was right on). Aix is a college town, I would recommend this tour or any of the other packages/tours Brian and Hillary offer as a family outing for parents visting their children. I would also recommend this tour for those that do not speak French and would appreciate Brians ability to help/translate.
