JoliSoleil is the name we gave the old farm in France that I bought in 1999.
I am J. Pieter Smits. You can click on my name to view my LinkedIn profile.
After emigrating to France in 2003, I also named my company "JoliSoleil" or "JS".
I have been interested in wine practically all my life.
Living in Amsterdam I did the "SVH- Slijters Vakopleiding". (WSET 2)
It is not a coincidence that I came to live in France right between the wine regions of Alsace and Burgundy.
The JoliSoleil Wine tours started as a hobby. Over the years they became more and more important.
It grew to be my main business in 2012.
Since then I organize private (more) day tours in the French Alsace and Burgundy region and Tuscany Italy all year round.
