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.
