Clients love the thoughtfulness I put in every aspect of their experience, from personalized itineraries to special touches that make their day unforgettable, and also my ability to tailor tours to their preferences, ensuring a memorable experience. My commitment to going above and beyond-whether it´s providing insider tips, arranging exclusive visits, or ensuring comfort has left a lasting impression on many. Wine knowledge: Expertise guide with WSET Level 3 Multilingual communication: Fluent in English and Spanish Local connections: Strong relationships with local wineries, winemakers, and châteaux, offering exclusive access to hidden gems and behind-the-scenes experiences. My two finest memories as a guide: The first one is helping an American couple with a surprise proposal in Saint-Ãmilion is a memory I will never forget. After a private château tour, we arranged a sunset moment in the vineyards. When he proposed, the joy and magic of the scene left everyone speechless, it was pure perfection. The second one was guiding a family with a curious 10-year-old boy through the Médoc , it was unforgettable. I simplified the winemaking process for him letting him explore aromas and even try fresh grape juice. By the end he was proudly teaching his parents what he´d learned, this was a reminder of how rewarding it is to inspire young minds.
