Welcome to Calvi and Ile Rousse

Wines from Calvi

The vineyards are nestled between the Corsican mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, creating a picturesque setting for wine production. The region’s proximity to the sea helps moderate the climate, providing cooling breezes and reducing temperature extremes. Calvi produces a range of wines, including red, white, and rosé. The red wines are typically robust, full-bodied, and age-worthy. They exhibit dark fruit flavors, earthy undertones, and a balanced acidity. The white wines are known for their crispness, vibrant citrus notes, and mineral complexity. The rosé wines from Calvi offer refreshing flavors, often displaying red berry fruitiness and floral hints.

Balagne Region History

Calvi, Corsica, is rich in history, with its iconic Genoese Citadel overlooking the sea as a symbol of its medieval past. Believed by some to be the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Calvi’s cobbled streets and ancient architecture tell stories of maritime heritage and centuries of Genoese influence. There is much more than the coast to the area: Explore nearby Ile Rousse, pride of Pascal Paoli, hilltop villages and historic landmarks to uncover the region’s fascinating cultural legacy.

His enthusiasm for the region's wine was contagious. We tasted a wide variety of wines and even got to see the harvesting in action. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My friends and I did a wine tour with Dominique for my birthday. He was a wonderful host! He picked us up at our hotel, with all of our bags, and dropped us off at an AirBnb. He was incredibly flexible. He knew a lot about how the wine was made and the specific vineyards that we went to, and was very friendly and kind. We had such an amazing time on the tour and if we go back, I'd love to go on another one!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our wine tasting day with Dominique was one of the real highlights of our stay in Corsica. Dominique was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about wine, but also about Corsican history, culture and landscapes. I would wholeheartedly recommend one of Dominique's wine tours.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family of four had such a wonderful experience on our Corsica Wine Tour. We did the Cap Corse wine tour and Dominique customized the tour to include an extra stop at a Patrimonio winery.  His experience living in multiple foreign countries (USA, England, Japan) really lends itself to connecting others to the unique culture and landscape of Corsica. We appreciated his ability to conduct the tour in English, and we learned so much from him.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A group of 4 of us had an amazing afternoon with Dominique exploring Corsica and tasting regional wines! He customized our tour given the location we were staying and the vineyards we visited were beautiful and varied. As a native Corsican, he is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the gorgeous island and all that it has to offer. I highly recommend booking Corsica Wine Tours!
