We’ve been on wine tours before but this was hands down the best. Pierre was very knowledgeable and a super great guy. He took lots of time and was very funny and informative. Totally worth the cost. If you are planning a wine tour, look no further

Laurent was a fantastic guide, sharing his deep knowledge of the wines of the region. We visited a vineyard and learned about appellations and the specific terroir, picking and pruning methods of the plot. The first winery we visited was a small local winemaking family with a lovely range of wines. In contrast, our second tasting was at a cooperative where we tasted 5 different wines. Laurent was very generous in sharing information and special thanks for the delicious cheeses and saucisson he selected to accompany our tastings.
