Summary:
We went on Bea's tour in May of 2024 and had an excellent experience! She was so welcoming and knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. Neither of us had very much in-depth wine experience, but Bea and the wineries we went to were wonderful teachers. We went into the day without knowing much but are now big enjoyers of both Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines and Southern Rhone wines in general!
