Perfect combination of wine tasting, local knowledge and history. Loved every minute of it. I would recommend this tour and our tour guide (Adelaine) to everyone.

We visited Tavel and Chateauneuf du Pape with our very informative and friendly tour guide Virginie. We would recommend this tour.

Davide often spoke in French to the people in the front of the van without the mike. Those in the rear could not hear or understand. The air conditioning did not work and when he was asked to turn it on he responded that maybe we had had too much wine...rude and unnecessary. He later apologized--but privately. The van was overcrowded and when I asked him what town we were going through he said it was not important, it was not on the tour and then returned to talking to the 2 ladies in the front. He was more polite the second day.

This is a straight wine tasting tour. I expected it was a winery tour that I'd have learned more about wine making, tasting, etc.

What can we say? Maybe it was the great guide, the chateaus, the wine...a great experience. What a way to spend an afternoon! We went to three tastings, and the folks were amazingly gracious. It really changed our view of the French wine industry. If you can spare the half day, do this! These are wine lovers, not just tour guides with a minivan. In fact, even the driver bought a few bottles for his collection. The countryside was spectacular, and not having to worry about driving was the icing on the cake.
