Though there were many positive things I could say about this tour, the knowledge of our guide was the standout! No question stumped her and we had delicious pairings of cheese and charcuterie for each of the wines we tried. The vineyard was fascinating with our tasting taking place in the limestone caves. Going to the cooperative and learning about this way of producing, storing, etc was very interesting and a good wrap up for the day. I suggest you dress in layers to be comfortable and make sure you have sensible shoes. This is a can’t-miss experience and next time I will be booking a full-day!
The best tour you should take!

We really enjoyed our wine tasing experience! Our tour guide, Pierre, was very knowledgeable in all aspects of wine and the beautiful Loire Valley. We got to explore limestone wine caves, taste a total of 10 wines between the two wineries, and sample local cheeses, including several goat cheeses, and unique delicacies like rillettes. Overall it was a wonderful experience, and we would definitely recommend it to others.
Must do!!

Loved our morning wine tour with Pierre!! His passion and wealth of knowledge for wine made for a wonderful experience. From walking a vineyard while learning about the surrounding regions to wine tasting in a local winery that is in a cave. We enjoyed every minute! We even made a new friend during the tour as a bonus. Highly recommend booking this experience!
Wonderful morning tour

Another wonderful tour! We had a very small group and our tour guide took us to a very small vineyard(fantastic) and a larger one. Loved the caves and the variety of wines we got to try! Also enjoyed the cheese our guide brought. Overall it was a fantastic experience!
