Average tour quality - The guide was super nice. The venues / wineries were ok. The first one was great and the 2nd one could have been a bit more options for wines.

A Worthwhile Wine Tasting Afternoon. - Our guide Sylvia drove us to two different wineries of the Chateauneuf de Pape wine region. She was very informative, friendly and humorous and provided many anecdotes/insights on our way to the wineries. At the wineries, winemakers discussed details regarding the process of producing the wines and we had tastings of several wines in each winery. It was a worthwhile, entertaining and educational afternoon. Recommend!

Fun and informative! - While waiting to meet up with other groups, we got a free look into an old castle with a vinyard nearby as an added bonus! I booked this tour not knowing anything about wines but came out knowing the basics on how to judge a good wine.

So- so wine experience - Our driver was really just transportation up to Chateauneuf Du Pape. She didn’t share too much about the region or the wine, a little disappointing. The two wineries we visited were great, though we waited 25 minutes for the first one to be available. After it was over, I felt like we could have done this ourself really.
