Not just a wine bar tour - We learned about the wines of Southern France in a fun - packed trip to three very different wine bars. Jessica brought Toulouse to life as we "Tasted" our way round the city. We also learned about the must-see places to visit which helped us plan our next few days - recommend this tour early in your stay.

A lovely evening in Toulouse with a fantastic local expert - What a great little evening we had in Toulouse with Jessica! (and Jennifer)
We was shown around some great areas and of course provided with excellent wine! My knowledge of French wine was not great and so we had a very interesting time learning the particular rules associated with it, whilst learning about the different areas etc.
It was certainly the highlight of our trip to lovely Toulouse 😊

Welcome to the wines of Toulouse and the south-west! - A very pleasant evening, sampling wine and strolling through the streets of beautiful Toulouse.
In the warm evening sunshine, the city really lives up to its name…….la ville rose……🙂
Jessica and Jenn did a great job of introducing us to the wines of the surrounding area - with plenty of laughs along the way 👍🏻
Merci bien!

Amazing Wine Tour in Toulouse - You must do this tour if you are interested in local wines! Jessica was knowledgeable, relatable and fun to spend the evening with. Her knowledge of the local wine culture and area wines was very enlightening. She was very interested in the types of wines I usually like and helpful in picking out things that might stretch my wine choices. I can't wait until some friends come to visit Toulouse with me and we can have the experience together. I'd give her a 10 out of 5 if it would let me.

Delicious wine, excellent tour guide - My husband and I took Jessica's wine bar tour in Toulouse and had a great time! Jessica is super knowledgeable about wine and about Toulouse in general, so we learned a lot. We tasted lots of delicious wines, learned all about the different regions around Toulouse, and got to experience some of the best wine bars in Toulouse. We would absolutely recommend this tour to others!

Had a fantastic time. Highly recommend! - My husband and I did the Wine Bar Tour tonight. After doing the Chocolate and Pastry Tour with Jessica last night, we knew we’d be in for a treat. Tonight surpassed even our high expectations. We learned about some of the different wine regions of France with a focus on the southwest region which includes Toulouse. We visited 3 superb wine bars and sampled a total of 5 different wines and had some delicious charcuterie. The best part of the experience for me was that Jessica made the world of wines seem so much less mysterious and scary to me. My comfort level with talking about and ordering wines increased so much. And most importantly, she was able to guide me to some red wines that I actually liked, which was great as I have always found red wines to be too tannic for my taste. Highly recommend booking this Wine Bar Tour with Jessica. You’ll be glad you did!

Great Toulouse wine tour! - Jessica was a friendly, knowledgeable guide. She knows French wines and Toulouse very well! The wines we tasted were all delicious and the charcuterie board was more than enough for the group. Bravo Jessica and Taste of Toulouse!

A great way to start the night! - I thoroughly enjoyed this experience moving around some local wine bars in Toulouse which also provided the opportunity to meet some like minded travellers and enjoy their company. Discovering the wine regions around Toulouse was great too as often overshadowed by other more prominent regions. The tour finishes at a good time to grab dinner post the experience in proper French style.

A Must on your Things to Do in Toulouse! - Book this tour if you love fun and intimate wine tours! We explored on foot some of the trendiest wine bars in the heart of Toulouse including the best wine bar in the world (!) In a cozy and relaxed atmosphere we got to taste a sparkling wine and then some curated white and red wines, nibbled on locally-produced cheese and charcuterie while learning about the indigenous grape varieties of the little-known wine regions of Southwest France, and so much more about French wine, food and culture. Jessica's passion and expertise about wine clearly shines in every detail. It was such a pleasure having her as our guide! As a female solo traveler, I couldn't have wished for a more memorable first evening to experience Toulouse, and so I would whole-heartedly recommend this tour to all my fellow (solo) travelers out there!!!

We had a great time!! - We had an absolutely amazing time with Jess and McKenzie!
The wine was gorgeous, the explanations were crystal clear, Jess is clearly exceptionally knowledgeable. I liked that she pointed all of the different regions and influences out on the map provided. It helped everything make sense as there was a lot to take in.
Both McKenzie and Jess are great conversationalists and fantastic company and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 😊😊
Thanks for the follow up email showing us the best restaurants in town!
