excellent guide. excellent time! - Right from the very beginning, our guide Emilie, was extremely communicative and responsive in every way! unfortunately I wound up getting sick the day of the tour but the rest of my friends and my husband went and they said it was unbelievable! they had food. they didn't even know they were going to get and the wine tastings and the places they were taken to were fantastic! And since I was sick she actually sent back gluten-free food for me to have later on when I felt better. really amazing!

An extraordinary experience! - I had the chance to meet Emilie in Corsica a few years ago
His services, his know-how, his philosophy and his knowledge of wine are all assets that make the moments spent together unforgettable.
This year again, Emilie and her experience “What binds us” were there: A high-flying tasting between connoisseurs by the river… a real taste of Paradise.
Thanks again Emilie and see you next year!

One of the best experiences on holiday - A very warm wine tour where the time flew by. Seldom are the details as lovingly marked as with Emilie. I would love to do it again!

Experience to consume without moderation - Beyond the unique experience offered during the tasting workshops, we discovered a committed, serious, professional, passionate person (and so on!) as it is rare to find.
100 times I recommend!!!
Mr Mori and I had a great time.

If you are a wine amateur, GO GO GO! - We are a couple of wine amateurs, I have a restaurant, my partner is a wine nerd, and we wanted to discover more of the Corsica wine landscape.
We HAD a BLAST !
Emilie is fantastic, from the booking where she was very fast and easy to communicate with to the execution of the tour. Everything was perfect, very pro but also casual and easy going. Emilie English is perfect as she has experience working as a Sommelier in London.
She explained us all the details we were looking from the wine, from the detail of terroire to fabrication and historical and economic facts.
We did 3 winemakers and we had a blast.
We are already recommending Emilie to all our friends visiting Corsica.
