This half-day wine experience pairs two winery visits around Calvi with a picnic of fresh local produce served among the vines. Emilie, the guide behind Ce Qui Nous Lie, works with different estates in the Balagne, so you meet directly at whichever wine estate has been picked for the day, near Lumio. From there the excursion runs through the vineyards.
Reviewers describe the lunch setting as beautiful, with a view over the vines, and several single out how clearly the wines and the history of the wineries were explained.
The tour runs about 2 to 4 hours and suits most travellers, including families with pushchairs and wheelchair users, with a maximum of 15 participants. One thing to plan for: transport to and from the vineyards is not included. The guide flags that taxis in the area are expensive, so you need your own car. Beyond the wine, several travellers said the guide was generous with tips on restaurants and places to visit around Calvi.
A few practical points will help the day go smoothly, from reaching the estate to what the picnic involves.
