At-home tasting
Feel the wine before you put it into words.
I offer a playful, immersive tasting at your place, to discover the local terroirs through the wines of the region, or to travel to the vineyards of France and the world.

We talk
Tell me about your project: the occasion, your wishes, the group’s level. I reply within 24 hours with a tailor-made proposal.
I compose
I select the wines, from iconic estates to lesser-known ones, and prepare the games, aromas and programme.
You taste
I arrive at your place with all the equipment. Glass in hand, all you have to do is feel: look, smell, taste.
Anywhere in Provence
At your home, your holiday rental or your venue, anywhere in Provence: I bring the wines, the glasses and all the equipment.

Do I need to know about wine?
Not at all. I adapt to every group: beginners learn to feel and describe what they like, enthusiasts go further into vintages, grape varieties, terroir or biodynamics.
I’m on holiday in the area, is this for me?
Yes, it’s ideal: you discover the terroirs and the winemakers’ craft through the wines of the region, without leaving your rental.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. Give an Arvine gift card: I prepare it following a personalised quote and send it to you myself. Tell me your wishes through the quote form so we can plan the tasting you would like to give.
