Some trips deserve something beyond a classic day tour. Our luxury and exclusive experiences are designed for travellers and partners who want France at its very best – rare wines, private access, exceptional places to stay and seamless logistics from start to finish.

As a France‑based DMC and fully licensed tour operator, Ophorus combines in‑house driver‑guides, trusted local partners and years of relationships with wine estates, restaurants and properties across the country. This allows us to curate high‑end experiences that go far beyond what is usually available on standard tours or large OTA platforms.

Signature Wine & Spirits Experiences

  • Grand Cru & Prestige Tastings: Vertical tastings of top châteaux and domaines in regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, hosted in private tasting rooms or cellars.
  • Cognac & Spirits Encounters: Behind‑the‑scenes visits and tastings at leading Cognac houses, with options ranging from XO to Louis XIII‑level experiences, combined with private transfers and gourmet meals.
  • Private Vineyard Events: After‑hours visits, vineyard walks with the winemaker, barrel tastings, or aperitifs in the vines for special occasions.

Gastronomy & Fine Dining

  • Michelin‑Starred Food & Wine Pairings: Chef‑designed tasting menus matched with wines selected by sommeliers, with private transfers to and from the restaurant.
  • Chef’s Table & Market Experiences: Private cooking classes, market visits and chef’s table dinners for guests who want a deeper dive into regional cuisine.

Extraordinary Ways to Travel & Stay

  • Château & Boutique Hotel Overnights: Hand‑picked properties in wine regions and historic towns, from vineyard châteaux to intimate design hotels – available as stand‑alone stays or within custom itineraries.
  • Private Yachts & Boats: Day charters on the French Riviera, river cruises on the Garonne or Loire, or sunset boat trips combined with wine and canapés.
  • Helicopters, Premium Vehicles & VIP Transfers: Scenic helicopter transfers, high‑end vehicles, meet‑and‑greet services and tailored logistics for tight schedules or high‑profile guests.

Every luxury experience is created on request and tailored to your preferences – whether you are celebrating a milestone, hosting key clients or designing a premium France programme for your travellers. Our team advises on the best regions and partners for your dates and budget, then coordinates all services on the ground.
