Interesting and fun guide Dorian who knew his history very well! Especially enjoyed tasting at Amboise with wine expert. Fascinating insights into French wine.
Dear Kris, Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience with Dorian and that it was both informative and enjoyable. Thank you for visiting the region with us and we hope to see you again in the future! Sincerely, A la Française Team
The guide was wonderful. All of us felt included and she knows wine and grapes very well. The two vineyards she took us to were perfect examples of the industry. There were only five of us and the guide helped us enjoy it together.

We had a lovely wine tasting and tour of two spots: one in Vouray and the other in Amboise. Our guide Dimitri was terrific! He is engaging and energetic and made sure everyone in the group had an excellent time. The tour was interesting and the wines excellent! Thank you Dimitri! We definitely recommend this tour with him.
Dear Lorraine, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the tour, the wines, and the visits in Vouvray and Amboise. Dimitri will be really happy to hear your kind words. Sincerely, A la Française Team
While Agathe was a very nice woman, this was not worth the money: essentially a very expensive taxi ride to 2 nearby wineries (Caves Cathelineau & Caves Ambacia) we could have visited ourselves for a lot less. Cathelineau is free for individuals & Ambacia is 25 euros, so it’s hard to justify over $100 per person for this trip..
Dear client, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the tour did not meet your expectations in terms of value. While some of the sites can be visited independently, the experience is designed as a fully guided tour, with Agathe providing context, explanations, and insights throughout the day, as well as seamless transport between locations. We’re glad you found her pleasant, and we appreciate your comments, which we will share with our team. Sincerely, A la Française Team
We had a lovely afternoon with Camille visiting a winery in Vouvray and a tasting in Amboise. Camille was a great guide, taking us around safely and very informative

It’s wonderful to hear she made the tour both safe and informative, helping you get the most out of the visit. We really appreciate your feedback! Sincerely, A la Françasie Team
This was a fun afternoon with a great tour guide Dmitri and delicious wines. Visiting two beautiful hillside vineyards and two wonderful wineries: Chateau Gaudrelle with Chloe as our guide/presenter. She had only the position for 9 weeks but did a great job. Artur was our sommelier at the second winery (Ambacia?)--he was funny, clever, knowledgeable. Wines were the best. We were able to wonder through caves on our own, so many old wines still being aged! I highly recommend this tour.
Dear client, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the afternoon, the beautiful hillside vineyards, and the wine tastings. It’s great to hear that both your guide Chloé and Arthur at the second winery made such a positive impression, and that you enjoyed exploring the caves as well. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon! Sincerely, A la Françasie Team

We hope to welcome you again soon! Camille was a great guide. Very engaging & accommodating. Throughly enjoyed the first stop at Caves CATHELINEAU! What an amazing place! Tour led by the 10 th generation owner. He has created so many flavors from the same grape. It was an interesting contrast to the more modern site at second stop. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic day and so well organised. Both wineries were lovely and enjoyed the wines from both. Our guide was so friendly and engaging. Highly recommended if you only have a half day
