Your sommelier
Marie Laurentier, sommelier
An independent sommelier, I founded Arvine to share wine differently: tasting workshops and convivial moments, at your place, anywhere in Provence.
My journey began in the vineyards. After a degree in Viticulture and Oenology, I worked on wine estates, both in the vines and in the cellar: that is where I learned all the work and patience behind every bottle.
With a diploma as Sommelière, Ambassadrice en gastronomie, I then moved to the other side of the glass, in wine bars and fine restaurants. There I learned to advise, to listen to everyone’s tastes and to talk about wine simply.
From the vine to the table, this is the journey I share today. I design convivial, immersive experiences that blend discovery, pleasure and learning. No lecture: we play, we talk and we learn to feel the wine, its emotions and sensations.
I love sharing the winemakers’ craft and the richness of terroirs through a selection of iconic and lesser-known estates. Wines from our region, of course, but also from France and the world, as you wish.
