Tequila sunrise

The Tequila Sunrise, a cocktail with a concise recipe but a rich history, reached its zenith of popularity during the 1970s and 1980s, a period that wasn’t necessarily renowned for producing the finest concoctions in American cocktail history.

Wines and Waters of France

I am offering a uniquely designed program called “Wines and Waters of France.” It is a beautiful way to experience French viniculture in a leisurely and relaxed manner, with one- or two-week trips by boat on the rivers and canals of famous French wine regions.

We will navigate along, admiring medieval towns and villages, pastoral landscapes, and the unique nature of the place.

Every day, I will share my knowledge of local viniculture, liberally exemplifying the theory with practical samples. We will visit the most representative wineries, which I have carefully chosen.

We will also study the gastronomic peculiarities of every place, because there is no place in France that cannot offer something to even the pickiest of gourmets. Dinners in local cuisine restaurants, farmer’s markets, cheese shops, boulangeries, and other tasty places await us.

We will also have time for historical sites, architecture, and biking along picturesque trails.

You can choose the region
