Wine Tastings

an Eat with CANDL experience

Our Wine tasting events are hosted from April though to October when the weather in the region is sunny and the gardens are inviting! We host tastings for groups of up to 30 with optional tapas pairing.

The tastings are hosted in different venues in the beautiful Nouvelle Aquitaine region but mostly Landes, Gironde and Pyrenee Atlantique! Our venues are usually; Chateaux, hotels, bars, restaurants and private homes.

The tastings are led by Pierre-Antoine Collet; a London trained sommelier. Pierre spent 3 years working at prestigious restaurant Park Chinois in London as a sommelier specialising in French wine. He gained his WSET level 3 certification from the renowned Berry Bros in Mayfair, London. Pierre is a true wine lover with the credentials to match.

Wine tastings are available in both French and English. Please check the event carefully before booking to know if it is in English or French.
