  We had a wonderful full day tour of the Saumur wine region in the Loire Valley. The full day trip was definitely worth the time and money. The tour featured three wineries: one medium scale operation, one large scale operation (specializing in sparkling wines), and one small winery. Included was a guided tour of each operation, and a wine tasting of several of their wines. At the small winery, we met with someone who works the fields and produces the wines, with detailed insights into BIO wine production. We drove through many vineyards and were given great information about wine production. We had a nice light lunch at troglodyte cafe, built into stone caves. Our guide picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Angers in a new air-conditioned mini-van. He doesn't work from a script -- he knows his material well. This allows customizing the tour to your interests. We plan to take one tours from Nantes on a future visit. Highly recommended.

  My husband and I had a wonderful time with Franck. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about the AOC and grape growth/vinification processes of the Loire Valley. The valley is likely the most amazing place in all of France to taste wine, and Franck was such a wealth of knowledge it was delightful and inspiring. I would whole heartedly recommend this tour to anyone with interest in the wines of the Loire Valley or anyone just interested in seeing a beautiful part of France with someone who is immersed and fluent in the culture.

• A splendid day that exceeded our expectations.

  We thoroughly enjoyed the day with our tour guide Franc. His knowledge of the wine industry was impressive and authentic. We visited two wineries and were surprised to be able to tour so many of their facilities. The wine tasting was superb and we had the opportunity to purchase our favorites. One of the wineries is a 5th generation operation and we met the winemaker and his wife. It was a lovely experience. We stopped for a 3-course lunch in a quaint restaurant that was superb. Our guide and all of the people that we encountered on this tour were cheerful, friendly, and engaging. We cannot thank Franc enough for an experience that we will always remember.

• An educative and pleasant trip

  Me and my girlfriend booked this trip a couple of days before arriving to Angers. I study and work with wine in London and I was a little concerned that the trip could be not informative as I wanted. After literally ten minutes in the van with Franck all my doubts vanished! The day passed among questions and answers, information about the territory of Anjou and the grapes grown in this beautiful land. I strongly recommend this trip both to wine passionates and not, 'cause anyone who enjoys drinking wine will be very pleased by the beautiful places you visit, the little characteristic towns and beautiful views. Thank you Franck for having us! Alessandro and Matilda

  Small group specialist wine tours of the great wine regions of Europe are our preferred way of getting an introduction to these regions and their wines. This tour met all our expectations. Franck provided an incredibly informative and well planned tour of Anjou and its diverse appellations. Brissac, Coteaux de L'Aubance and Savenierres were on the itinerary and it was great. Franck is very knowledgeable and his choice of domaines was spot on. A beautiful spring day in Anjou was accompanied by lovely wine, great scenery and good company. A great tour.
