SÉBASTIEN HIGONET
Travel agency dedicated to discovering vineyards and organizing wine-tourism cruises on sailing boats
Vinotilus, a travel agency certified Vignobles et Découvertes, organizes wine and tourism cruises on inhabitable sailing boats from Le Havre and Granville. Participants learn how to handle a sailboat and sail during the day. In the evening, on board, a presentation of a wine-growing region (Champagne, Provence...) precedes a tasting of 4 wines from this vineyard and food pairings (caviar, foie gras, bottarga...). A playful evening is then proposed on the theme of wine. The agency also organizes one or two-day tours in the vineyard (visits to winegrowers, vineyards and emblematic villages of Champagne), grape harvest days and combined Sailing and Champagne. An illustration of the agency's dynamism: it received the Young Talent in Tourism Award in 2014 and the Luxury Travel Guide Award in 2016 in Great Britain.
