Œlysium, by the Founder: Redefining wine tours in France and the Art of wine tasting

Burger menu-elite local guide-wine ambassadors

« When I founded Œlysium, I envisioned a world where wine lovers could experience far more than simply purchasing a bottle. I believed they deserved journeys that transcend the glass. Journeys that connect them to iconic terroirs, legendary winemakers, and the hidden gems of France. At Œlysium, we don’t just organize wine tours and wine tastings in France. We curate extraordinary experiences, crafted to match each client’s personality and palate »

Œlysium: more than just wine tours and tastings

What sets Œlysium apart is our deeply personalized approach. Thanks to our innovative concept of “oenological families,” we define each client’s unique taste profile and craft bespoke selections that resonate on a personal level. Every wine tasting becomes a meaningful exploration of your own preferences, not just another tasting session.

To elevate its guest experience even further, the Grand Hôtel Intercontinental Bordeaux has chosen to collaborate with Œlysium, a disruptive force in the world of Bordeaux wine tours and Bordeaux wine tastings. This partnership allows the hotel to offer a fully personalized wine experience curated by the finest local experts.

What makes Œlysium stand out among wine tour providers in France?

With Œlysium, every journey is crafted around you. Our elite Wine Ambassadors are not merely guides, they are passionate experts who bring each region’s history, culture, and hidden treasures to life. We open doors to places that remain closed to the general public, offering immersive experiences that go far beyond traditional tourism.

Guests are welcomed by a Œlysium Wine Ambassador, who provides guided tastings featuring rare and iconic labels, chosen based on each participant’s taste profile. From vertical tastings of classified growths to food pairings with local delicacies, the experience is as educational as it is unforgettable.

What makes your wine tasting experiences unique?

We believe wine tasting is an art form. Our sessions are more than just sips, they’re immersive stories told through rare vintages and terroirs. Whether in Paris, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne or Provence, each tasting is led by our skilled Wine Ambassadors who share insider knowledge, hidden secrets, and gastronomic pairings that elevate the entire experience.

We also host exclusive tastings in stunning venues in Paris and Bordeaux, offering guests the chance to taste rare labels in an atmosphere of luxury and intimacy.

In other words, the wine journey doesn’t stop at the vineyard or the tasting room. It continues all the way to your private cellar, wherever you are in the world.

Is Œlysium only for seasoned collectors?
