5.00Fantastic tour of the Chablis wine country with Nick. He is a wine enthusiast and knows the area and the wines well. We especially enjoyed the visit to the domaine making sauvignon blanc, unusual for the Chablis region. We tasted wine at 3 fairly different domaines, had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, and were able to walk around the town of Chablis as well as visit an overlook to see the entire town. We would love to take another tour with Nick.
Authentic, fun, delicious, and informative

5.00We had such a great time on the wine tour with Nick. He brought us to some small and large vineyards with amazing wine and great people. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the industry and we learned a lot from him. He also has a great personality which made the experience even better. This experience was very authentic and we would highly recommend it to anyone!

5.00This tour was a highlight of our entire trip! Nick is charming, friendly, and knowledgeable. He took us to wineries and restaurants we never would have found on our own and each was exceptional. Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended!

5.00We booked with Nick for Burgundy after the wonderful two day experience in Sancerre/ Puilly Fumé a couple of years ago. Nick picked us up at our hotel and took us to wineries carefully selected based i. Our taste and knowledge of Burgundian wines — from village wines to the Grand Crus, white and red. The first day was in Chablis where we stopped for lunch at Les Trois Bourgeons, excellent French food with a Japanese flair. The second day was in the Cote de Beaune surrounds. Nick is very knowledgeable not just about the wines and wineries but the history and geography of the places and owners, driving us through the beautiful countryside in a very comfortable van. He’s been doing this for many years so personally knows the winemakers which is big plus in the welcome we received at the wineries we went to and the quality of the wines we got to taste. And then of course he helps us with shipping the wine to the US. Highly recommend. Hoping he’ll cover a few more wine regions in the near future.
Good restaurant to start this weekend Burgundy

5.00I would highly recommend this tour. Nick did a wonderful job of selecting the best wineries in the area for tastings and an education on French wines. Each wine maker shared the winery’s history and a bit on their wine making process. We started in the quaint town of Auxerre and made our way to the lovely town of Tonnerre with an excellent lunch on the way. The wine was great-easy to purchase along the way. Very manageable trip from Paris by train.
Very productive day in Chablis

5.00We need to thank Nick for organizing the day. We stayed in Beaune and he explained in details how to best organize the tour. We took a train early AM and he met us at the train station. He's been in the business for some time and it shows. Nick organised the route in a such a way that we saw and tasted wines from different areas in Chablis and around. Along with a range of different chardonnays (oaked, unoaked, bio, no-sulfates....) we also encountered, to our surprise Sauvignon blanc and non-pinot noir reds. At the end of the tour we had a very good understanding of what is produced in Chablis area. Unfortunately in Canada we can by only one type "generic" chablis wine that is selected by someone as most representative. We tasted chardonnays in Burgundy (Beaune and Nuits) and Pouilly Fuisse but liked Chablis more. We found that white wines are best left unoaked or very lightly oaked. Ended up bringing few bottles home. Thank you, Nick!
Inside knowledge and good humour - a winning combination!

5.00Nick’s 30 year experience living in France and the area was invaluable. He was an expert not only at navigating the snowy roads, but also on some stunning lesser known and small producer wines, the regional food scene and some local characters. And combining his knowledge with good humour was the icing on the cake. Would highly recommend his private tour.
