This was a full day immersive experience. Both our castle tour guide and sommelier host were very extremely knowledgeable and obviously passionate about their craft. After the castle tour, we were able to learn from the host about the art of producing grapes within the orchards on the actual Chambord grounds. Lunch followed in a quaint little village town, a first class Michelin star restaurant, where we were able to start tasting beautiful wines from the area paired with delicious food prepared in the open kitchen before our eyes. We then drove an hour to learn more about wine production in the Vouvray region. Worth noting, at the castle grounds, there is a lot of walking and then stairs once inside which may be difficult for those with physical challenges
Dear Gary, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are truly pleased to hear that you enjoyed your immersive day in the Loire Valley. It was a pleasure organizing this experience for you, and we are especially glad that you appreciated the visit. Should walking ever be a concern, we would of course be happy to adapt the itinerary, for example by selecting a château with fewer stairs. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again for another discovery soon. Best regards, The My WineDays Team

Very knowledgeable guide and tour was amazing ! Something different outside of the busy city of Paris, would recommend this to anyone visiting Paris, and learning more around the French Culture and the Loire Valley. Michelin restaurant was such a unique experience and wine tasting really well organized, we even had an opportunity to purchase wine that was made at the winery!

We're glad to hear you enjoyed the Michelin-starred restaurant and the various visits and tastings! We hope to see you again soon! Kind regards, My Wine Days Team
Unos pizza is my absolute favorite, always a treat. It is piled with toppings which makes it SUPER delicious, and the bread is clearly homemade, together tastes OUTSTANDING! I could eat it every day. It is also filling generously stacked with toppings. I just love, love, love it... Unos pizza is SUPREME! Other food at Unos, also excellent, never disappoints, and I think that I have had just about everything on their menu. Even their burgers are excellent! While I am not much of a burger person, my Dad LOVES them, we both got a burger plate, and I have to say, that was the best burger I have ever had, they did it right! Unos has a pub style menu, the food is excellent!
Hello, We're glad to hear you enjoy Unos pizza. However, we don't serve pizza and don't stop in any pubs. The comment might be for another company. We wish you a wonderful day! Best regards
