Great wine tasting tour

This was a great day. Our guide Alexandre was friendly and gave us great information about the Sancerre region and their wines. He picked us up at our hotel and informed us that we were the only group for the day (3 of us). We toured 2 wineries and learned a lot about their wine making processes and the ground and weather conditions for grapes in the region. The tastings were generous and the wines were yummy. We enjoyed the local cheese served to us at the first winery, and it was nice that we had time to stop at the cheese shop. The food and wine we received at the restaurant for lunch was fantastic. The scenic stop with the glass of rose wine was a pleasant extra. It was greatly appreciated that Alexandre was able to drop us back at our hotel at the end of the day. We would use this company again when we travel to Paris in the future.

It was nice to have all the logistics taken care of for a day of wine tasting!

Our guide Cedric had great communication with us about the logistics and knew a ton about French wine. He was engaging and fun to be with all day. We had a full van to Sancerre and enjoyed meeting the other travel-mates in our group. The two wineries we went to offered so many tastings and the lunch was fantastic. It felt like a special experience that I couldn't have planned on my own.. it was nice to be taken care of all day. It made getting to and from Sancerre so easy. Thank you Cedric!

Perfect Day in Sancerre!!

I did this wine tour in Sancerre with a few friends and had an amazing time. The vineyards are gorgeous, and the wine was incredible. Our guide was friendly and shared so many interesting details about the region’s history and winemaking. We visited a couple of small, family-run wineries and really got a sense of the passion and craftsmanship behind each bottle. The scenery was breathtaking, the tastings were generous, and the whole day felt very well-organized and relaxed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore beautiful Sancerre and taste some fantastic wines!

Fabulous French Wine Tasting Experience

Our guide Chloe was fabulous! The wineries were both very good and I loved the lunch in the countryside at a local restaurant. It was a longer drive than I thought from Paris, but other than that I would highly recommend it.

Outstanding

This day in Sancerre was outstanding!! I was picked up at my hotel in Paris and we drove about 2 hrs to arrive to the lovely village of Sancerre. It feels like time has no hold on this place. The view from the ramparts is stunning, overlooking hills of vineyards, which luckily showcased beautiful colors in the morning. On top of that our guide had the idea to open a bottle of rose to ease the group into getting to know each other — simply brilliant! We then proceeded to visit a winery in the morning. We toured their production lines, cellars, and finished by a generous tasting. All the wines were delicious — whites, roses, and reds. Lunch was held in a quaint restaurant, the staff was very friendly, food was delicious accompanied with a well thought of wine pairing from the region. Thank god the food was consistent as most of us were starting to feel a little tipsy! We finished the day with the visit of another winery which was as exquisite as the first. Our guide brought us back to Paris around 6PM. The day was perfectly planned, we had so much wine! We never felt rushed by our guide and all the emissaries of the wineries we visited were great at taking the time to explain their wine making process and what are the keys to their winery’s uniqueness. Truly recommend the experience to anyone who is interested in Sancerre wine, wishes to discover some of the French countryside and taste loads of delicious wines!

Hello Kostia, We are so thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful time in Sancerre! It’s always our goal to create an unforgettable experience, and it sounds like everything—from the stunning views to the wine tastings—came together perfectly for your day. We are glad you enjoyed the relaxed pace and that our little touch of starting with a rosé helped the group feel at ease. We always aim to give our guests the best insights into the wine-making process, and it's great to hear that both wineries delivered on that. Thank you for your kind words, and we truly hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Cheers! My WineDays Team
