Top class tour

Rom was an excellent guide. He has so much knowledge and experience that he was able to share with us. It was our first time wine tasting in France and this tour was the perfect introduction.

Perfect Day in The Loire!

My wife and I had the pleasure of joining the Full Day Wine Tour in Vouvray and Chinon, and it was definitely one of the best wine tours we have ever experienced. Our guide, Rom, was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge of the Loire Valley, its history, terroir, and winemaking traditions was exceptional. He shared fascinating insights throughout the day and helped us develop a much deeper appreciation for the wines of the region. His passion for wine was infectious, and he made every stop engaging, informative, and enjoyable. The tour provided a wonderful opportunity to explore the diverse expressions of Chenin Blanc in Vouvray and Cabernet Franc in Chinon. We tasted a fantastic range of wines, from crisp and vibrant styles to more complex and age-worthy examples, each showcasing the unique character of its appellation. The small family run wineries themselves were excellent. It was so much fun exploring the incredible limestone caves carved into the hillsides. These historic cellars provided a fascinating glimpse into the region's winemaking heritage and created a truly unique atmosphere for tasting and learning about the wines. Another highlight was the lunch at one of the winery stops. The farm-to-table meal was fresh, delicious, and perfectly paired with the wines. Following lunch, we had the opportunity to visit the small local farm, which added an authentic and personal touch to the day. Meeting local producers and seeing firsthand where some of the region's incredible food comes from made the experience even more special. From start to finish, the day was exceptionally well organized, educational, and fun. Between the outstanding wines, the remarkable cave cellars, the wonderful local food, and of course Rom's expert guidance, this was one of the finest wine tours my wife and I have ever taken. If you're visiting the Loire Valley, I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you, Rom, for an unforgettable day!

Tasting and so much more

Pierre was outstanding and enthusiastic. We toured 3 different wineries which were individually distinct. Lunch was fabulous. The creation of a Michelin green starred chef. This was the best winery experience I’ve had. We were also fortunate to share it with another couple. It was a group of 4. I highly recommend.

Great wine and food

What a great day! Our guide, Rom, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the region, and very personable to talk to throughout the day. All three vineyards had great wine, and the lunch was delicious. It was brought to the second winery by a local farm to table type restaurant, and everything was super fresh. Rom also had cheese to have at the first winery, and charcuterie at the last, so there was plenty of food. We got to see caves at two of the wineries, which was very neat, and also nice and cooling during a very hot day. There was also a very sweet cat at one of the vineyards which we adored. Overall everything was fantastic, and one of the highlights of our time in France.

Operator response

Wine Tour in the Loire Valley with Alycea

Alycea was our guide on this very informative and interesting tour. It was a lovely day with a great group of people. We included lunch at a winery. If you don’t care for duck, rabbit or goose, I suggest a vegetarian option. Alycea offered many wonderful cheese selections along the way so, you won’t be hungry. Highly recommended tour.

Operator response

Thank you for the recommendation! We are really glad you enjoyed your day with your guide, Alycea, and that you enjoyed your pairings, the information and the tour itself.
