Great way to spend an afternoon. Balance between being informative and entertaining is just about right. Two wineries are visited a small independent, producing wine in the traditional way and then a modern producer. Each time the information was interesting and the made the tasting more relevant. Group size is good and the vehicle very comfortable. Our guide, Pierre, was excellent. His depth of knowledge and ability to convey that knowledge were excellent. Pierre was also a convivial person with a good sense of humour. All in all a good way to spend an afternoon. I can recommend this trip.
