This was a tremendous waste of money. We paid for a 4 hour wine tour. This was around 3 hours total, we spent 2 of those hours driving in the car. We only stopped at 1 winery, tried 6 white wines (never even had a full glass). No food or snacks were offered. The your operator was very nice and informative but the tour itself was extremely boring. Then she drive us to a field for a 10 minute chat about vines. The pictures and details are misleading.There was no frolicking in the vineyards, large outdoor tables with people drinking wine, multiple stops at any of the chateaus/ vineyards. Just 40 of minutes of driving in a van, to a cold cave, tasting 6 wines, 20 minutes out to see a field, then back to Tours FR. We did our own self guided tours on other days, way better. I do not like to leave bad reviews, but we also asked for a few partial refund, and Viaror denied it. I guess they don’t actually care if the experience is good. 2 stars only because the guide was nice.

Amazing tour, highlight of the trip! Our tour guide, Dmitiri, was wonderful and the wineries we visited were incredible. 10/10.

A great tour led by Dmitri. The guide and local wine producers provided explanations of the Vouvray wine making process, with an opportunity to ask questions.

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.

Dimitri went out of his way teaching us about the history of wine making. We had the honor of having him as guide twice. The Vouvray tour was amazing and authentic. The other tour was great too with sweet guide.

Nicholas was a great tour guide and driver. Both wineries were interesting & cool to explore the caves. I would say for £80 pp it seemed a bit expensive compared to other tours booked in France - and while you taste many wines you hardly would have more than a large glass total. Would suggest that for that price there is inclusion of cheese or something.

We both had an amazing time, our guide Sophie was so lovely, friendly and very informative! Came away very happy with a few( 11) bottles of wine to take home and enjoy! If we come to Tours again which we hope too, we will definitely book through the same company again, and hope to get Sophie!

Visited two lovely vineyards in Vouvray with our wonderful and very knowledgeable guide who collected us from Tours and translated where needed during the tour. We sampled around 10 wines across the two locations, and were able to purchase without any pressure afterwards. In terms of value for money, I would say that I feel that this tour was priced quite highly. During the first tour, an English couple turned up to enquire about wine tasting and were allowed to join our group without charge. With hindsight, we could have gotten a taxi to any winery in the area and asked for a tasting for much less.

Loved the 1/2 day wine tour of 2 vineyards. We had plenty of time to ask questions, explore "caves" where wine is stored, and taste LOTS of wines! Our tour guide, Dimitri, was friendly and knowledgeable!!

Really enjoyed our wine tour and our guide Alex was great with the whole group. Loved the passion of the winemakers along with the finished product. Many wines and styles to taste, along with the ability to buy what took your fancy.
