5.00This was absolutely perfect. The chateaux is stunning, the wine is outstanding, the history is fascinating and most of all Darcy and Sebastian are brilliant hosts. We had a picnic on site and the food was delicious. The kids loved it as well.

5.00We had the most fabulous time with D’arcy getting to know his family winery and chateaux. It was a small group (my family and another couple) and D’arcy did an amazing job of explaining the wine making process. We left with such a good sense of what it is to run a family winery—since the 16th century! The lunch was incredible, as were the wines. Overall a highlight of our trip to the Loire Valley. A must do experience. .

5.00A very personalized experience. Not your typical wine tasting set up. You really get to understand the challenges and triumphs of running a family business in a historic setting. The lunch was hearty and delicious. Highlight of our trip to Loire Valley.
