“This vouvray wine tour was just absolutely perfect! Lorenzo was an amazing tour guide, loved how we went to three different wineries/ makers. Tried so many different types of sparkling and still white wines and even some reds. I did have a blast and learned so much about wines and how they are produced and shipped right under the same roof! I would highly recommend this tour. Some things I would recommend is the pick up spot, maybe have a sign or logo where we know who we are going with. Besides that the tour was just perfect.”

“What a fun afternoon and getting to taste lots of white and sparkling wine. Two lovely small vineyards visited to see how they created their wine. Wow...I will really appreciate how much effort went in to making my wine next time I open it. We were lucky enough to be there and watch the pickers harvest some of the vines. I was expecting great big juicy grapes but they are in fact small grapes and tightly packed on the bunch. Lovely guide Alex who kept us entertained the whole afternoon.”
