Very fun and informative tour in historic wine cave. Wine tasting was unique compared to those in Napa. Tomas was a great host.

Nikki_P

We had a great time on the tour and learned so much about wines! My 14 year old even enjoyed her grape juice, cheese, and learning about the different aromas.

Karla_S

I learned a lot about wine tasting and how to combine these with different kinds of cheese. Our guide was a real expert and had a wonderful personality. It was a very enjoyable experience. In addition, we had a lovely lunch at their restaurant. We ordered a board with a great selection of French dishes. The attention at the restaurant was also amazing. I really recommend this experience.

The team were great in accommodating our 2 young teenagers with us for the tour and tasting. We enjoyed the self guided tour of the caves- especially guessing the wine aromas and of course the tasting at the end. It was great to learn about the wines of the region and the host (Yannis) was so knowledgeable and made it fun.

An excellent guide - wonderful storytelling and great knowledge! The tour was a good balance of information and experience.

Guide was extremely knowledgeable but the site needs updating! A bit rundown even at the entrance point.

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.

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!

We loved the wine tasting!! They did an amazing job of teaching us about wine & how to differentiate between different wines. The wine themselves were AMAZING!! would most definitely come back & recommend it to anyone looking for a fun wine tasting in amboise. We got to try 6 different wines with cheese/charcuterie pairings- it was amazing!

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.
