We’ve spent a marvellous 4 days in the Loire Valley with Mila, and yes, I could definitely call this a phenomenal experience. We’ve had private tasting with legendary winemakers, tried local foods, explored castles and stayed in great hotels. All this would not be possible without Mila’s hard work, patience and customer service. Totally recommend and hope to repeat everything ASAP! P.S. As a grown-up professional, mom and wife, I was happy to not control anything during this trip and had a good rest. I felt secure to rely on someone, had a great time and rebooted;)
Anna Levkovich
This was my first wine tasting experience and will definitely set the bar for all others! Mila was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the wines and the history and the region. Not to mention, the wines we tasted were some of the best I’ve ever had! Would definitely recommend and would happily do it again!
Belinda Beaver
Thanks to Mila, it was an amazing trip full of new tastes, experiences and feelings. As a wine lover and professional, Lyudmila will help you to discover the secrets of the best wine of the Loire Valley, will show you the life of locals, will feed you with the best dishes of French cuisine, and , of course, she will make you fall in love with this region. Come and see, feel and taste it by yourself, you’ll never regret!
Olena Bizilia
Mila was absolutely fantastic! Warm, generous, and incredibly knowledgeable. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to the Anjou region- left us smiling for the rest of the day.

YOUR GUIDE
Meet LJUDMILA
Welcome here, my dear traveller!
The wine world captivated my whole being once upon a time. Since that moment, I've learned a lot about wine, tasted thousands of wine samples, and visited hundreds of châteaux, domains, wine estates, and small charming wineries around the world.
I've visited more than 35 countries as a curious and passionate traveller!
I would like to share the same passion with You through tailor-made wine tours to special places in the Loire Valley, most of which you couldn't find on usual travel maps of French vineyard routes.
Would be happy to share with You my dream project, which came true in 2021 - the moment I've mooved to France to get my MS2&MBA in Wine Marketing and Management at INSEEC Business School in Bordeaux. But my wine story began much earlier.
THE MISSION
For the last five years, I have had the privilege of guiding discerning travellers through the hidden treasures of the Loire Valley. As a certified wine consultant, I don't just know the region—I live and breathe its terroir, its history, its secrets. Most of the year I'm personally living in the Loire, so You'll be welcomed like a local.
My clients from all around the world seek something beyond luxury hotels and tourist itineraries. They come to me for l'art de vivre — crafted with absolute discretion and personal attention.
Every château owner knows my name. The best local vignerons open their private reserves for my guests. Every moment of your journey reflects years of relationships, expertise, and a genuine passion for sharing the Loire's most precious gifts.
I'm passionate about exchanging wine & culture experiences with You, my future guests.
