Joe and Maggie are hosts we could not trust more with our journeys through France.

Sommelier Joe leads UVA Imports' French portfolio, hunting down older vintages you rarely see stateside. But his real joy comes from watching guests sit across from the winemakers themselves and ask the questions no professional ever thinks to.

Maggie is a trained pastry chef who travels with hungry eyes, living for the workshops most hosts skip, the friendships that form between guests, and the food, from Michelin-starred dinners to the perfect strawberry at breakfast.

Food and wine, curiosity and warmth. Come say hello in France.

Deep in the forests of Piedmont, guided by an expert and their trusty dog, our guests discover one of the culinary world's most prized treasures hidden just beneath the surface. The earthy aroma of a freshly unearthed truffle, paired with a glass of Barolo back at the table, there's nothing quite like it.

This is just one of the experiences waiting for you on our Northern Italy tour. Visit the link in bio to book your spot.

Few names carry more weight in the world of food than Paul Bocuse.

Born in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or, just outside Lyon, Monsieur Paul, as he was affectionately known, became one of the most celebrated chefs in history. Dubbed "the pope of gastronomy," his restaurant L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges held its three Michelin stars for a record 55 years.

A pioneer of nouvelle cuisine, Bocuse championed fresh, high-quality ingredients, but never lost sight of what truly great cooking means. In his own words: "Good cooking is when you lift the lid, it steams, it smells good, and you can help yourself to seconds."

On our tours through Lyon, dining in the legacy of Monsieur Paul is always a moment our guests remember long after the last glass is poured.

Nestled in the heart of Beaune, the Art of the Barrel workshop with master cooper Frédéric Gillet is one of the most unexpectedly captivating excursions on our Journey Through France. What begins as an introduction to 2,000 years of coopering history quickly becomes something far more immersive, a genuine education in the profound relationship between oak and wine. Through guided sensory exercises, guests explore how varying degrees of toast influence the aromas and flavors we so often associate with great wine, from vanilla and hazelnut to smoke and spice. For those who appreciate the finer details behind what makes a great wine, this is an experience not to be missed.

Meet the Taillet family, a Champagne house built on five generations of passion and an unwavering respect for the land. Eric Taillet has spent his career devoted to a single philosophy: that every bottle should carry the true energy of the soil it came from.

Now, Dylan and Léna Taillet are stepping in as the fifth generation, carrying that legacy forward with the same dedication that first brought the Taillet name to life in 1961.

This is exactly the kind of story, and the kind of Champagne, we love sharing with you.

Domaine Cordier's Christophe Cordier is among the most revered Chardonnay producers in Burgundy. Tending 120 parcels of old vines across the Mâconnais with meticulous, biodynamic care, from horse-drawn plows to hand-harvested, parcel-by-parcel vinification, his wines are a true reflection of the land. Powerful, elegant, and utterly refined.

Our 2026 France dates are sold out, but you can still meet Christophe Cordier on our 2027 France tours. Link in bio!

Amarone vs. Ripasso

Amarone: Grapes dried for months, losing nearly half their weight before pressing. The result is powerful, concentrated, and built for the cellar. Open it for a moment that deserves it.

Ripasso: Young Valpolicella passed through Amarone's leftover skins, gaining richness and depth without the years of waiting. An everyday luxury in the best possible sense.

Same hills. Same grapes. Entirely different experiences.
