About me
I am a professional Wine and History Guide
I love Guiding, History and Wine!
Do you LOVE visiting wine regions? Learning about history makes you dream about old days past? Do you wonder sometimes about the battlefields in France? We got interesting things to show you! Originally from a French-Brazilian family in Rio de Janeiro, I started guiding in France in 2010, and since 2015 I have been working as a guide in the Champagne Region.
What started as a new job in France, guiding about French History and Culture became a passion, which I validated by obtaining the National License of Guiding French Monuments. Other places I took guests to explore include Paris, Versailles, Giverny, Mont Saint-Michel, Loire Valley castles and Bruges – Belgium.
Wines are a very importante part of the French way of life, so let me help you leaarn about what makes champagne the King of Wines!
As I always say, “I’m here to help you have fun”!
I’m here to help you have Fun!

Raphael is PHENOMENAL! He is extremely knowledgeable about everything - even beyond Champagne itself eg French history. He is a thoughtful, caring guide and über polite. He more than exceeded our expectations and it is probably one of the best tours we ever experienced – period. Highly recommended!

Raphael gave us a superb history lesson on the Cathedral Notre Dame and of Reims - this was a real wow factor as we learnt so much more than simply reading summarized literature. During every moment with Raphael, we were educated with history, geography, some politics, food and culture. Raphael is simply amazing.
