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.

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.
