Having spent only a short weekend in South of France there was limited time for activity so this was a perfect fit into a tight schedule. We were picked up at an arranged point (our B&B) where we met our lovely wine connoisseur for the day Wendy. Wendy had packed our day with lovely wine tours in the Languedoc region... More

A tour with Wendy will take you through vineyards, restaurants and cellars in a comfortable small sized van all included in the price. Highly recommended for those who want to learn more about the region's wines and learn a little more about French culture and wine making. More

We had a great day with Wendy and some good companions. She made arranging the tour easy and on the day catered for all our needs. We all learnt loads about winemaking and tasted some lovely wines at Ollieux Romanis and Serres-Mazard. I would definitly recommend the tour and can't wait to go back to do another. More

Wendy is a fantastic teacher, and I felt that I could have listened to her all day. It was fascinating to hear about the history of wine making, the vines, and how one tastes and describes wine. My sister, niece and I felt we learnt a lot. The whole day was engaging and flowed from one nice experience to the... More

We spent a wonderful day with Wendy, exploring the Languedoc region in southern France. What a pleasure to be wisked off for a day of meeting wine makers, walking around vineyards, tasting the produce of the area and learning all about the region from Wendy. We would highly recommend these tours if you are in the region. More

We stayed in Carcassonne for 3 days and used one of the days to go wine tasting with Wendy, it was brilliant. She picked us up from our hotel in her brand new, air-conditioned people carrier and drove us about 40 minutes away to Chateau De Combebelle. It felt like 10 minutes as all the way she asked us questions... More

Wendy Gedney's Vin en Vacance tour in the Languedoc region of Southern France (Caunes Minervois) was one of the best wine tasting experiences we've ever had. We have tasted and drunk wine for decades, and yet we learned so much from Wendy. First of all she taught us how to really taste and describe wine, secondly, she taught us about... More

I stayed in Caunes, a lovely,, small quaint village in the Laguedoc region for a week in October and was introduced to Wendy, "the Wine Lady." I joined Wendy and several other fun wine lovers (not experts, as we all admitted) on two of her tours. The first tour took us to Corbières and Lagrasse then on to a goat... More
