CONTRAST TOURS
MAY PROVENCE WINE TOUR 2026
May 19 - 30, 2026
Up to 12 Travelers
With Mary Mehlich of Wine and Words in Washington NC.
The Provence Wine Tour will take you through the most praised sites in the South of France, and is especially rich in art and history. The wines from Domaine Richeaume near Aix en Provence to the power of a Chateauneuf du Pape. This is my native region, and my selection reflects my birth rights.
Expect not only a wine tour, but also a gastronomic one, with dream like accommodation, including a 16th century castle hotel with a Michelin star level table, all organic and centered on vegetal cuisine.
The tour will start in Arles, where we will be for 5 nights before heading to the castle mentioned above. Arles is a gem nested in the heart of Provence, full of art and lovely to live, with a mix of "laissé faire" and Provençale sophistication, in an all pedestrian center.
We will then spend 4 nights in a 16th century castle, now a luxury hotel based on an organic life style. And will end the tour in Lyon in an ideally located 5 star beautiful hotel. If you are interested join us as quickly as you can, as chances are this tour will be at full capacity soon.

SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2026 LANGUEDOC WINE TOUR
September 25 - October 9, 2026
12 Travelers + Loic and Me
We will be touring the part of the Occitanie region known as Languedoc. I call it France’s deep south, and this is the frontier for new wine wonders.
This will be in all its meanings, an "out of this world" exploration, in an out of norms part of France with a profound wine culture, now in full bloom, endearing people, wild and stony landscapes exuding of medieval times.

THE COOL TOUR 2027
January 3rd - 13, 2026
Up to 8 Spots + Me
This tour is an opportunity to some some very good time, in very good company, enjoying some of the very best seafood in France, as well as my favorite restaurants in Paris. All in a completive very relaxed mode, and at winer rates.
Check out the itinerary. Pricing will follow, but this tour is definitely a very good deal
It is conceivable to do only the Brittany part, or only the Paris part. Please inquire with me, should you want to do so, although I do recommend the two parts, the yin and the yang of January travel.
