I am working with a group in Southwest France, which is developing wine tours of the Languedoc-Roussillon area for English speakers.
The visit will feature a visit to Collioure - the "Pearl of the Mediterranean" and the cradle of Fauvism. The region's full-bodied wines embody all the strength and vigor of the Catalan soil.
To kick off this endeavor, I invite anybody who would be interested to contact me by email. I will respond to any inquiries with a questionnaire and more details on the prospective trips. Questionnaire results will help us in designing the tours.
My hope is that there will be enough initial interest to put together a small, custom-tailored trip this summer, which -- I might add -- would be bargain priced.
Many thanks.
