We had such a great time with Tommy and Lucie! They’re both very knowledgeable about the region and took us to some great tastings and the best lunch spot! If you’re looking for a wine tour that is a bit off the beaten path, look no further! This tour was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! It means a lot to know that Tommy and Lucie helped make your day in Sancerre such a memorable part of your trip. We are especially happy that you enjoyed discovering some of the region’s more authentic producers, along with the tastings and local cuisine.

We hope to welcome you back to France for another wine adventure someday! Best regards, My WineDays Team
One of our favorite tours we’ve ever been on. The wines were fantastic, the lunch was incredible, and getting to see a place whose wines I have loved for quite some time was very special. The countryside and village of Sancerre were gorgeous and it was such a treat do a tour that was a bit off the beaten path. Friends of mine have done wine tours in France (Champagne, Bordeaux, etc.) but I don’t know anyone who has done a trip to Sancerre, which really adds to the sense of uniqueness of the experience. Tommy and Lucy were incredible and knowledgeable hosts and they, along with the guides at the wineries, really helped create an immersive and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this tour for any wine lovers or anyone looking for outside the typical experiences.

We will be sure to share your kind words with Tommy and Lucy, who will be thrilled to know that their knowledge and passion helped make your day so memorable. Thank you so much for your recommendation. It truly means a lot to us! You are now a part of the wine family! Best regards, My WineDays Team
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.
Dear Bonita, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed such a special day in Sancerre with Alexandre and that the private feel of the experience made it even more memorable.

We truly appreciate your kind words and would be delighted to welcome you again on a future trip to Paris. Best regards, My WineDays Team

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!
