Guide Karoline Knoth - La Bourgogne à vos Pieds
Bilingual guide (French and German) with a specialization in wine. More info: www.knoth-bourgogne.fr
I'm a bilingual guide (French and German) with a speciality in wine, and a Burgundian by adoption. I invite you to discover the towns, villages and vineyards of Burgundy with me.
Don't hesitate to contact me for a visit by appointment or sign up for one of my self-guided tours.
I also write books in French and German about the history of vines and wine in Burgundy.
I am fascinated by Burgundy and its wines, their culture and their history, and I love to share this fascination with you. Exchanges with you are very important to me, as they always help me to discover new things about our beautiful region of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.
I want you to experience unique, unforgettable moments and to get to know and love the region.
My job in three words? Commitment, competence, sensitivity.
