Reviews
We had a wonderful full day wine tour with Thierry. He was very knowledgeable, not only about the wine but about Alsace in general for example the history, geology, geography and culture. We learnt a great deal and he also made the trip fun. A most enjoyable day! We highly recommend.
Amazing tour! We did the full day small group tour. Our tour guide Magali was fantastic, she was so knowledgeable on the history and so incredibly personable. 10/10 experience and would recommend the tour (and Magali specifically) to anyone traveling to Normandy!
Amazing Experience! Oscar was a great guide and very knowledgeable about Saint-Émilion and its wines.
Additional information
This tour is designed for travelers who love luxury craftsmanship, design and fine heritage brands, and who want to go beyond a simple museum visit to really understand how exceptional crystal is imagined and made. It is ideal for couples and small groups seeking an elegant, slow‑paced day with time to admire masterpieces, watch artisans at work and, if they wish, indulge in a gourmet experience at Villa René Lalique. It particularly suits art, fashion and interior‑design enthusiasts, as well as curious visitors who appreciate guided commentary, comfortable private transport and seamless organization, even if they have no prior knowledge of crystal or the means to buy it.
