My husband and I...
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide Corine was extremely knowledgeable and may this experience even better. Being able to visit multiple vineyards and taste different types of wine, and also different techniques which are used in the winemaking, made this tour an interesting experience. My husband and I make wine in our home so we really enjoyed learning even more and getting to taste these beautiful wines. The restaurant where we were brought for lunch was exceptional. Sitting outside with a beautiful view, and the wonderful dishes that were served to us is something that my husband and I still talk about and share with our friends. I love the little place that we went to at the end w where we sat and listen to music and finish our day. I would highly recommend this tour if you were looking to enjoy several different wines rather than just going to one winery. It was our anniversary that day,and it was a great way to celebrate.

The best wine experience.
Romain was an absolutely incredible guide. He knows so much about the region, wine, vines, grapes, history, etc. So personable and welcoming.
We had a great time with him. Would absolutely recommend him/his company to anyone traveling the area.

Excellent guide and tour
Coline, our tour guide, made the trip very special. She was very attentive, personable and informative. It felt like we were with a friend. We visited 3 lovely vineyards with quality tastings, and had an excellent stop for lunch. Couldn’t ask for a better guide or experience

The excursion followed...
The excursion followed the described itinerary. Our guide was excellent, knowledgeable and had a good relationship with the wineries visited. The lunch break was at a posh restaurant which we did not expect (also excellent). We tasted a variety of wines in addition to Châteauneuf-du-Pape including Lirac, Cairanne and Tavel. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful day...
We had a wonderful day getting to know the Chateauneuf du Pape wine region. Clémence was an excellent guide! As people with limited knowledge of wine cultivation and production we learned so much. The wineries Clémence selected to bring us too were beautiful and had delicious wines to try. Likewise, the restaurant we had lunch at was beautiful with good meal selections. I can’t imagine touring this area without a guide and recommend this tour to anyone interested. Especially given the amount of background and information provided.

Best wine tasting.
This was one of the best wine tours I have been on. The guide’s knowledge and the number of different wines was phenomenal! Hint: using the spittoon for the first couple of wines enables you to appreciate the later one. Just saying 😀

No not miss this wine tour 11/10!
This was an absolutely amazing tour. Simone was our guide. She was so knowledgeable and a lovely person. The choice of wineries and lunch spot was perfect. The wines we tasted during the day exceeded my expectations. Then the visit to the wine shop to finish the day with another tasting! An incredible experience.
