Isabelle: founder and guide

After an initial career in human resources that took me all over France, I decided to return to my first loves: tourism on the Mediterranean coast, and the wines of the Languedoc-Roussillon region.

My goal is to introduce visitors to the magic of wine and winemaking in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I launched Vin4 heures wine tours as a way to create memorable and accessible wine tourism experiences, and offer fun and unique wine-related activities that tell the true story of our beautiful region and the passionate men and women who work the land.

As part of my commitment to authenticity and tradition, I had to include another French icon in the adventure: the Citroën 2CV, the country’s most popular and legendary convertible.

Join me on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the vineyards, the wine, and the wine-makers who breathe life into this region.
