Highly Recommend in Amboise - My husband and I had the best experience with this wine tasting, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and taught us a ton about the history and making of wine in the region. We learned a lot about types of wine, and felt the samples of wine and cheese was plenty. We booked the Noon time slot, and highly recommend staying for a fresh, home made delicious lunch from the cafe after. They had handmade pasta that was incredible, and very affordable!!! Could not recommend this enough when visiting Amboise.

Great Experience! - Yannis gave us a brilliant overview of the vineyard management and wine making process in the Loire. He then lead us in the best wine tasting we have ever experienced. Everything was wonderful!

Really nice tour with wine and cheese pairing - Really cool tour of a cave system under a castle that has been used for wine making for hundreds of years. The guide Ivan was very good. We enjoyed both the tour and wine and cheese pairing. Highly recommend.

An Experience We'll Never Forget - This was a fantastic experience that my wife and I will never forget. We learned so much about wine tasting and left feeling like experts. The guide did a great job making wine tasting approachable while still learning a lot. We laughed, we learned, and enjoyed our time.

In-town wine tasting. - Nice introduction to Loire Valley wines. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. The tasting was held in Amboise proper with no need to travel which made it a convenient addition to our itinerary.

We had a good tour and learned a few new things about wines. - Guide was extremely knowledgeable but the site needs updating! A bit rundown even at the entrance point.
