This tour is very family friendly and was a wonderful way to end our day in Amboise. Our three children each got a lollipop to enjoy during the tour and listened well to the guide (they are age 8-14). The guide was lovely and gave an interesting tour with tons of information specific to the French wine making process and the appellations of wine. We visited during a heat wave and this tour was refreshingly cool in the caves! The tasting was awesome and we enjoyed the food pairings quite a bit. This tour is very well done and we would highly recommend it for families!
We had a wonderful experience accompanied by our guide François, who introduced us to the local white and red wines with great generosity and insightful explanations. For an hour and a half, we toured the cellar built in the 1460s, were introduced to the winemaking process, and concluded our visit with a tasting of 3 white wines and 3 red wines accompanied by cheeses and sausages for perfect pairings. A truly pleasant and informative moment thanks to our passionate host. So, do not hesitate, you will have an unforgettable time there.
We had a lovely private wine tasting experience. We did not do a formal tour but booked a 6 bottle tasting experience with a cheese board. The guide was perfect, the right balance of knowledge and personability. The wines were Devine and the cheese board absolutely next level. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the terrace afterwards with a beautiful view of the Loire. Would highly recommend
François was an amazing guide. I knew nothing about wine and learned a lot. The entire experience was fun and informative. Would definitely recommend.
Beyond a Wine Tasting Experienc
Very knowledgable , we learnt a lot about wine , just the right length and we had a fabulous lunch (not included in the tour but at the restaurant attached). Very well run
Experience in the cave of Ambacia was delightful! Knowledgable tour leader.
Great experience. Partially guided in some parts. Wine tasting was good. Staff was friendly and explained each wine well.
A fantastic experience. Interesting and informative and engaging. We enjoyed smelling the fragrances and guessing what they were. The wine tasting and pairing is excellent. 6 wines to taste (3 red and 3 white) paired with different cheeses and different sausages. All delicious! Tomas did an excellent job.
Our tour was very good, and the wine tasting was the best. Thomas was so knowledgeable and a great teacher. We learned so much and really enjoyed every minute. He even gave us extra time. Would highly recommend.
