About going bespoke

At Corsica Wine Tours, we believe every journey should be as unique as you are.

Of course, we put a lot of thoughts about how we designed our regular tours in Corsica but since it is your vacation, you may want to be the one designing it.

We are here to help.

That’s why we offer bespoke tours tailored to your preferences, ensuring an unforgettable experience that perfectly blends Corsica’s world-class wines, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural heritage.

Guests stories

Let us tell you the story of some of our guests who enjoyed our bespoke services.

Last season, we welcomed a couple traveling on a Mediterranean cruise who would be stopping twice in Corsica — once in Calvi and later in Bonifacio. They wanted to discover Corsican wines in depth, but their schedule was dictated by their ship. Our role was simple: build two full-day wine tours that fit seamlessly within their port times, without stress, rushing, or uncertainty.

From the first phone call exchange, we coordinated directly around the ship’s itinerary and arranged precise meeting times at each port. Our driver and guide met them on the pier in Calvi for their first Corsican immersion. The day featured vineyards overlooking the Gulf, tastings of Vermentinu and Sciaccarellu and lunch in a traditional auberge showcasing local produce. It was an authentic introduction to Corsica — far from standard shore excursions.

The next day, the ship arrived in Bonifacio. Once again, the same driver/guide greeted them at the dock and set off into Southern Corsica for a completely different wine experience. New landscapes, new grape expressions, and new family estates awaited them before returning them to the ship — on time and unhurried.

What made this experience special was not only the wines, but the flexibility and personalization. Every moment was adapted to the rhythm of the cruise, ensuring the guests enjoyed two rich and complete days on land without ever worrying about logistics. No large buses, no generic tourist routes — just meaningful encounters, thoughtful pacing, and access to winemakers who open their doors to those who truly want to understand Corsica.

These back-to-back tours ended up being the highlight of their Corsican visit — a chance to see two sides of the island, each with its own wines, landscapes, and personalities.

For cruise travelers, we offer this same approach: bespoke, well-timed, authentic wine experiences that transform shore days into memorable discoveries.

Lizette, a passionate wine lover from Mexico, arrived in Corsica in true style—sailing from Sardinia on a private yacht with her closest friends. It wasn’t just a trip; it was a celebration of her birthday, and Lizette wanted the day to be as unique and unforgettable as the island itself.

With limited time but grand aspirations, Lizette reached out to Corsica Wine Tours to craft the perfect bespoke experience. We delivered a dock-to-dock service, picking Lizette and her friends up directly from their yacht and whisking them away on an extraordinary journey.

The day began with a picturesque drive through Corsica’s stunning vineyards, leading to an exclusive winery where a sumptuous lunch awaited. The group indulged in traditional Corsican dishes, perfectly paired with the estate’s finest wines, all while basking in the warm hospitality of their hosts.

The highlight? A private tasting session with the winemaker, who shared the vineyard’s rich history and secrets behind each bottle. Lizette and her friends savored every sip, deepening their appreciation for Corsica’s unique terroir and winemaking traditions.

As the day unfolded, it wasn’t just about wine or food—it was about connection, culture, and celebration. Thanks to the thoughtfully designed bespoke tour, Lizette’s birthday became more than a milestone; it transformed into an unforgettable chapter of joy, discovery, and indulgence, leaving her and her friends with memories they would cherish forever.

When one of our trusted travel designer partners reached out about a special couple from New York City on their South Corsican honeymoon, we were thrilled. They had a clear vision for their dream experience—an afternoon blending Corsican wines, rich history, and the vibrant culture of the island.

Understanding their desire to relax and savor their luxurious honeymoon accommodations, we crafted a bespoke half-day tour that delivered the best of South Corsica in just a few hours.

The adventure began in the picturesque region between Bonifacio and Sartène. First on the agenda was an unforgettable wine tasting at a renowned Sartène winery. The couple savored a selection of Corsica’s finest wines while learning about the island’s unique terroirs and winemaking traditions.

Next, we immersed them in the charm of Sartène, often called the “most Corsican of Corsican towns.” The city tour included iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and captivating stories about the area’s history and legends. From medieval streets to tales of Corsican culture, every moment deepened their connection to the island.

As the afternoon unfolded, nature put on a show. Driving back, the couple was treated to a breathtaking sunset—a symphony of golds and pinks stretching across the Corsican landscape. They returned to their hotel just in time to toast their magical day with pre-dinner drinks, their hearts full and their spirits lifted.

Their journey wasn’t just a tour; it was a celebration of love, discovery, and the unforgettable beauty of Corsica.

Two friends from North Carolina reached out to Corsica Wine Tours with an ambitious dream: a week-long winter wine tour spanning all the wine regions of Corsica. Avid wine lovers, they were eager to dive into the island’s diverse terroirs and flavors.

As we began planning their adventure, it became clear that their vision extended beyond wine. They wanted to immerse themselves in all of Corsica—the landscapes, the culture, the history. With this in mind, Corsica Wine Tours went above and beyond, crafting a personalized itinerary that blended exceptional wine experiences with a holistic exploration of the island.

In addition to organizing tastings at some of Corsica’s finest wineries, we helped them select accommodations that matched their expectations and the unique charm of winter on the island. Their journey was enriched with stops at quaint villages, iconic landmarks, and breathtaking natural wonders that showcased Corsica’s unspoiled beauty.

Winter in Corsica offered a quiet, authentic side of the island, far from the bustling summer crowds. Thanks to insider knowledge and seamless planning, the friends enjoyed an effortless trip, navigating Corsica’s winding roads and uncovering its hidden gems without a worry.

Serendipity played its part, too—whether it was a surprise sunset over the mountains, an impromptu conversation with a local winemaker, or a quiet moment of reflection in a centuries-old village.

By the end of their week-long journey, they left with a deep connection to Corsica—its wines, its stories, and its soul. For them, it was more than a tour; it was an unforgettable adventure through the heart of the Island of Beauty.

When our cherished guests from Virginia reached out once again, it was both an honor and a delightful challenge. Having already enjoyed four tours with us, their return brought a new dynamic—a fresh member joining their party. We knew we had to elevate their experience and create moments that would surprise and delight them all.

With their love for Corsica in mind, we curated a two-day wine tour that wove together the island’s finest offerings: captivating sightseeing, rich historical insights, and, of course, exceptional wine tastings. But this time, we wanted to go further. We aimed to not only show them Corsica but to make them feel Corsican, immersing them in the heart and soul of the island.

One unforgettable highlight was a lunch hosted at a winemaker’s home. In this intimate setting, our guests shared stories, laughter, and local flavors with their host. To add a rustic twist, the property tour wasn’t the usual stroll—it was an adventure aboard the winemaker’s truck, offering them a true taste of Corsican authenticity.

Another magical moment unfolded amidst the ruins of an ancient monastery. As the sun set in a blaze of gold and crimson, they savored a wine and chocolate pairing, the perfect harmony of flavors set against a backdrop of timeless history and natural splendor.

These experiences went beyond a simple tour. They were crafted to be moments out of time, where the essence of Corsica came alive in every detail. As our guests returned to their lives, they carried with them not only the taste of Corsican wines but also the spirit of its people and the beauty of its landscapes—a journey etched in their hearts forever.
