Loved the 1/2 day wine tour of 2 vineyards. We had plenty of time to ask questions, explore "caves" where wine is stored, and taste LOTS of wines! Our tour guide, Dimitri, was friendly and knowledgeable!!

Lovely wine tasting, a bit overpriced.

Chelsie_B, Aug 2023

Visited two lovely vineyards in Vouvray with our wonderful and very knowledgeable guide who collected us from Tours and translated where needed during the tour. We sampled around 10 wines across the two locations, and were able to purchase without any pressure afterwards. In terms of value for money, I would say that I feel that this tour was priced quite highly. During the first tour, an English couple turned up to enquire about wine tasting and were allowed to join our group without charge. With hindsight, we could have gotten a taxi to any winery in the area and asked for a tasting for much less.

Quite a pleasant Loire Valley wine afternoon

We visited one family run...

Erin_R, Apr 2023

We visited one family run winery and had 5 wines to taste, stopped in the vineyard to see the area and then went to one biodynamic winery on the river. Asked about 3.5 hrs. Very knowledgeable hosts at each winery, great wine. All vouvray for our tour.

waste of time

lawrence_r, Aug 2022

Perfunctory tours, no food with wine tastings, , waste of time. Spent too much time just standing around. Tour guide at Marc Bredif winery was pathetic. There have to be much better tour companies. Definitely not for upscale or sophisticated travelers.

Hurray for Vouvray!

MaryAnn_C, Jun 2022

Alex was a great tour guide! The passion for winemaking from the ten-generation winemaking family was evident.

Lavonne W, Aug 2019

Wonderful Vouvray Loire Valley Tour! Lovely surprise to have one of the tastings right there in the vineyard! Professional and kind Driver/Guide. We really enjoyed the selections. I highly recommend.

An afternoon in Tours

Patricia_C, Oct 2018

This tour was so incredible with...

Jessica_S, Oct 2017

This tour was so incredible with just another gal on the tour with me. I can say with all certainty that Château petit Du Thoars was so incredible and the intimacy of being shown the property by the owner Sebastien and just one other person was just too cool! Really great wine and beautiful views!

Agathe, our guide, was delightful...

John O, May 2016

Agathe, our guide, was delightful. She was attentive and very well informed. Our wine tasting, chateau visits, and walk around Chinon were all highlighted by her detailed and entertaining antidotes. I would highly recommend this charming and personal wine tour!

Informatif et agréable

Le chauffeur était convivial et avait de bonnes connaissances sur la région et ses vignobles. Demi- journée plaisante, enrichissante et avec de bons vins du terroir.
