Great way to taste local wines by families who have been making wine for generations. The van was comfy and the guide was pleasant. The only issue is that each tasting was very small and we only tasted a few wines at each vineyard. I would have expected more for the price of the tour. It was quiet expensive.
Small family owned wineries. Different from larger places but a new and different and informative experience.
Flore was a delight to be with. She was informative and a careful driver. Good choices for two winery visits. We loved the Vouvray experience!
An absolutely wonderful afternoon in the Loire Valley. Ilya our guide was sensational, and had amazing knowledge of wine, and the region of Vouvray. On top of that he had a wonderful sense of humour and kept us highly amused. The staff at the wineries we visited (Stephan and Lucille) were extremely welcoming, and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Loire Valley.
