Delicious lunch and fun adventure!

Emmanuel was the best possible guide, knowledgeable, polite and a great driver. We started with a delectable lunch of fresh oysters in Arcachon, you could really taste the ocean! Over lunch, Emmanuel shared with us stories behind oysters farming in the region. After that we head to the most spectacular sand dune I have ever seen. The view was breathtaking and we have such wonderful memories. It was certainly a highlight of our holiday. Look forward to doing a wine tour with the Vert team on our next visit! Thank you Emmanuel
