Best Tour of Our Visit to Loire Valley - We went to this tour earlier in the week. Whether you are new or experienced in wine tasting, highly recommend this tour. We enjoy wine and learned a lot on this tour. Myriam explained the modern and old wine process and took us out to the grape vine fields. She explained how to maintain productive vines. Then we went to see houses built into the hillside for wine storage. There are a lot of mechanized and manual labor to produce a bottle of wine. We returned to the shop and sat down to a variety of sumptuous charcuterie and wine pairings. Myriam was always open to questions and the tour had ample time to absorb the information. For us this was the best tour in Loire Valley.

Amazing wine tour - Myriam our host, was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about her vineyard. She was genuine and personable, taking an interest in her guests. She went into a lot of detail and was very eager to answer any questions the group had. It was a group of 12 people, which was the perfect size. The tour started at the shop and we made our way up to the vineyard where we learnt about the grapes, the topography, and so much more. Then we made our way into the cellar, and finally sampled 6 different and delicious wines that came with many food pairings. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend to any wine lover!

Great wine tour with Myriam - This was our first wine tour in France and we loved it. Myriam was great showing us the vineyards, process and cellar. We learned so much. The food chosen for the degustation was simply amazing with all types of regional cheeses and spreads. Highly recommended if you are in this region.

Vineyard tour at Alain Robert, Chancay - Myriam took us on a journey from the vines to the bottle - she was a super host - engaging and attentive. She was extremely knowledgable, and clearly has a passion for sharing her knowledge and experience with guests. We walked to the vineyard, then through the production facility, through to the caves, learning about the process along the way. We finished up with a wine tasting at the end, accompanied by delicious local meats and cheeses. This was a fantastic end to our holiday and I would highly recommend it.

Absolutely Superb! - We visited the Alain Robert winery for a tour of the vineyard and a wine taste. Myriam, our guide, was absolutely excellent. We both learned lots about wine that we never thought we would know and found the tour very interesting indeed. The wine taste was provided with superb locally produced food pairings which made the experience unforgettable. Would thoroughly recommend!

Tour of Alain Robert winery, Chancay, Loire Valley. - If you have ever wanted to find out how wine is produced from grape vines, through the fermentation process, to the final product, look no further than this incredibly interesting wine tour of Alain Robert winery hosted by the very knowledgeable and charming Myriam. It finished off our short break perfectly.
We visited the cellars built deep into the rockface, and ended with what I can only describe as a treat for the tastebuds!
Six excellent wines accompanied with delicious regional meats and cheeses.
I have already placed an order with a supplier in the UK for the excellent Rose, Cremant and Les Charmes Vouvray wine.
Well done Myriam!
