Great morning learning...
Great morning learning about the delicious wines of the Chateauneuf de Pape region! Margot provided great information regarding the grapes, the regional growing conditions, as well as the different types of wines. Highly recommend!

Lovely Wine Tour
A lovely half day wine tour in France! Margot was knowledgeable and brought bread for us to share with our tastings. I learned a lot about the wine process and bought a few bottles to take home! The two tastings were great and they were very nice at both wineries.

We went to two different...
We went to two different vineyards - the wines tasted were truly spectacular and so subtly different between each winery. Scenery was beautiful. Margot our guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable- obviously very passionate about the region and the wines. Highly recommended . The tour company were very flexible and accommodating.

Amazing and educational wine tour!
Margot was a wonderful guide with a great wealth of knowledge. We were inexperienced with wine and she took her time to explain the areas, the way wine is labeled, and the history of the area. I would highly recommend using her for your next tour! The winery’s themselves were amazing! We were able to complete ample tastings and found how to really enjoy wine! 10/10 stars!!!!!!!!

I cannot recommend Margot or this tour enough. Being a sommelier, she is an expert who shares her vast knowledge generously. Timing was perfect. Highest recommendation.

Margot was great in our wine tour!
Margot was AMAZING! She was knowledgeable, personable and fun to spend the day with. The wineries that were chosen showed us the different ways wineries do things and yet produce the same delicious wine! We really enjoyed the tour and would book again if we return to this area. Thank you so much! Dawn and Rich Austin, TX

Wonderful afternoon
We had a wonderful time exploring Châteauneuf-du-Pape with our guide, Margot. She was incredibly attentive and has an expert knowledge of the region’s vineyards; we truly enjoyed this shared experience and learned so much. The estates we visited were perfect—a family-run winery and a château—which allowed us to see two different approaches to winemaking. The wines were excellent. This tour will remain one of our fondest memories of our trip to France.
