Excellent adventure in the Chablis and Burgundy wine region in France. Guide was charming and professional and accommodating to a bathroom break. Our small group visited three wineries with multiple wine tastings at each one. An excellent lunch was served at the second winery with pairings of wine for each course. We had a bit of time to do some exploring of the third town which was fun. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this tour for solo or group travelers who are curious about the vineyards and countryside in France as well as delightful multiple wine tastings at each winery.
Louis was an amazing tour guide, he gave us a great amount of knowledge and an enjoyable tour of Chablis! It is nice to see his relationships with the local wine makers which makes the tour much more personable!
Hi Tiana, Thank you so much for your review. Its a pleasure showing my best selection of wine producers in Burgundy with our guests. Cheers
Our driver Louis-excellend and very knowledgeable on wines and the region which helped a lot. The only aspect that should improve is the lunch- we only got served a table with cheeses/ham and we were 6 including the tour guide and we visted 3 wineries.
I am so happy with your great feedback. Our lunch is usually in a very nice winery with individual portions to each person. The day you came, we had to go to a different place as our usual lunch venue was atypically closed. You were great guests.
Louis was a fantastic guide! His deep knowledge of the region, wines and relationships with local wine makers made this tour an amazing experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about Burgundy and Chablis, the history of French winemaking and sample a range of wines..

Lovely way to spend your day. Our guide Louis (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was very knowledgeable and gave the tour a very personalized feel. Loved Irancy and Chablis and the opportunity meet Anita and Jean Pierre of Colinot winery and get private tour of their 400 year old cellars and operation.
Thank you so much Emily for coming to my tour. Cheers
We had a fantastic time on this tour! Louis was friendly and knowledgeable, and it was lovely to visit some smaller wine producers with interesting wines. We had a delicious lunch in Chablis and a chance to walk through a bit of the town and old church. Even stopped for some chocolate on the way back to the bus! I would thoroughly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for your kind review. Greetings from France
