France Awaits

Francois and Kellee Guilloux, the husband-and-wife team behind Arkansas’ premier wine distribution company, Vino Distribution, began curating exclusive wine journeys several years ago at the request of their local community. Rooted in more than a decade of relationships, hospitality, and passion for the world’s great wine regions, these experiences offer rare access to the heart of European wine culture.

​

For over 10 years, they have helped cultivate a vibrant wine culture throughout Arkansas — connecting passionate wine lovers with some of Europe’s most celebrated estates. Along the way, they have hosted more than 250 wine dinners statewide and created signature events such as Bordeaux Rendezvous and Tour the Vines, bringing renowned winemakers and exceptional wines directly to the local community.

​

What began as a mission to bring the wines of Europe to Arkansas has evolved into something even more meaningful: taking Arkansas back to the cellars of Francois’ homeland.

​

Through longstanding relationships with more than 200 wineries across France, they offer experiences far beyond traditional tourism. Guests enjoy access to rare vintages, private château accommodations, intimate tastings, and unforgettable dinners shared with château owners and winemaking families themselves.

​

Guided personally by Francois, a Paris native, and Kellee, an Arkansan, each journey blends authentic French wine culture with the warmth and hospitality of the American South.

​

These journeys are more than vacations — they are personal invitations into the soul of European wine culture, guided by trusted relationships built through years of partnership, friendship, and shared passion for wine and hospitality.
