“We sincerely appreciate the high level of service you offer our clients and couldn't be more enthusiastic about suggesting your tours. We know how pleased our clients will be and how their time with you will be a special part of their time in Provence. Every good wish, Kelly Bateman”

Vaucluse Tourist Committee, www.provenceguide.com
”Bonjour Olivier, Thank you ever so much for the tour on Sunday: I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it most interesting (this is exactly what I say to my English friends when I talk about our French wines, well, not all of it, but the bit with the suffering vines and their long roots giving complexity to the wine is a debate I enjoy all the time! So you have given me more resources for my defence of our local wines: thank you!). You have given an excellent "prestation" (you, and also Walk Inn) and the journalists were truly delighted. Thank you for the pictures too. All the best, Claude, Comité Départemental du Tourisme de VAUCLUSE” 

3 April 2008 Tour: Gigondas & Châteauneuf-du-Pape
WU Clients: Sandra Myers & Don Walker, USA
Salut! We have just got back from our whirlwind visit to France and I wanted to let you know that we found the St Gayan Gigondas in our local wine shop! How easy was that! Needless to say, we bought a case. Thank you so much for our wonderful day with you. It was the highlight of our trip. Don & I have been on numerous wine tours before, particularly in Napa, but our tour with you was something special. Thank you! Sandra Myers p.s. thanks also for the lunch recommendation at Les Florets. The food was to die for!

10 March 2008 Tour: Châteauneuf-du-Pape
WU Clients: Chris Flynn & Wendy Jones, UK
Dear Olivier, Just to thank you for last Monday's very stimulating tour of the vineyards of Grand Veneur and De la Janasse. We learn something on each occasion with you. Fortunately some is retained. See you in June with luck.
Best Regards, Chris Flynn & Wendy Jones

27 Feb 2008 Tour: Châteauneuf-du-Pape & Gigondas
French Wine Explorers Clients: Chan and Kellie Melton, USA
“Olivier, Just wanted to let you know we made the train to Cannes ... with no time to spare! Thanks for a great day of wine tasting!! Cheers, Chan and Kellie

6-9 Feb 2008 Tours: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Rasteau & Vacqueyras
French Wine Explorers Clients: Mark Epstein, John Scire, Peter Lombardo, Olivier Maubert, USA
“Olivier, I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. I would like to take credit for my professional photography skills; however, it wouldn't be true. It helps to have suitable subject matter and a decent camera that does all the work. Again, thanks for an informative and memorable trip. I know my colleagues would join me without hesitation in recommending your services. Best Regards, John”
“Hi Olivier, You did a great job for us and made our wine experience a really great one. Best regards, Peter” 

3 October 2007 Tour: Rasteau
WU Clients: Bob & Ros Wilson, USA
“Hi Olivier, thanks for the Domaine Soumade importer details. We have just ordered two cases of the Cuve Confiance 2004. Ros & I had a marvellous time with you. Your tour was so refreshingly different – it was great to actually see the vineyards and their “terroir!” before tasting the wines. Every time I open a bottle of the Rasteau I know I will have that image of those amazing 100 year-old vines. All the best of luck with your business. Bob & Ros”

26 September 2007 Tour: Vacqueyras
WU Clients: The Hacker family, Australia
“Olivier, We wanted to thank you again for your incredibly informative tour of Vacqueyras last week. The wines from Domaine la Garrigue were extraordinary. I still cannot believe they make such amazing wines in that ancient cellar. Seeing that old wooden press in action – fantastic! You’d never see a winery like that here in Oz! best regards, Steve”

14 & 15 Sept 2007 Tours: Châteauneuf-du-Pape & Gigondas
WU Clients: Simon & Mel Carter, USA
“Dear Olivier, just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our two wine tours with you. Finally, I get terroir! Our time with you really has changed the way we appreciate wines. We are very grateful for the experience. Warm regards, Simon Carter”

3 Sept 2007 Tour: Gigondas
WU Clients: Mr & Mrs Blanchard & friends, USA
“Olivier, We are home now after 4 days in Paris. It was a great way to end the trip. I wanted to tell you that we stopped at a Cave in Chateauneuf du Pape and had a case of wine shipped home. Your tour helped make our wine experience all that much better. I will be sure to pass along your name to any friends visiting the area. Take care, Jean Blanchard”

29 July 2007 Tour: Gigondas
WU Clients: Mr & Mrs Leake, UK
“Olivier, I meant to come back to you sooner to thank you for the afternoon we spent with you. It was very instructive. I ended up buying a case of both the 2003 and 2004 Domaine du Pesquier and also a fantastic 2004 from Domaine de Font Sane. The only problem is rationing it! John Leake”

19 June 2007 Tour: Gigondas
WU Clients: Felicity & Cecil Harper, Scotland
“Bonjour Olivier, Thanks again for our wonderful wine tour. It was truly memorable. We have been telling all our friends about “terroir”. Cecil has dragged me on to many wine tours in France & Italy but this was, without doubt, the best tour I have been on. We both learnt a lot and adored the wines. The case of Chateau Trignon Sablet that we bought is looking rather empty! I have written up a Tripadvisor comment for you. I hope it brings you some well deserved additional business. Next time we are in Provence we will definitely call on your services again. Felicity”
