Dave's Wine Tours
My wife Kate and I enjoy escorting small groups for memorable, fun private tours of France and Italy. Travel in comfort and enjoy private visits and tastings with top winemakers in their vineyards and cellars. Enjoy both casual and gastronomic meals with delicious wines. Discover the local markets, food purveyors and cultural sites. We always leave time to stroll, explore and shop.
We take care of all the details to create unique wine, food and travel experiences at reasonable prices. Please see the latest scheduled tours below. If you would like more information on Dave’s Wine Tours, then click the Ask Dave button and drop me a note. Cheers!
