A unique tasting - Before tasting, remind the basics of winemaking and playfully stimulate our nose! With Thomas, passionate oenologist, we discovered how to "read" a wine before tasting it. Great and unprecedented experience. Thank you Thomas! A few steps and... lunch at the Oppidum. Delicious! Great discovery

Imperdible - Fantastic Experience - We visited Caves Ambacia and made the visit with tasting. It was a wonderful experience, we were served in a very kind and friendly way. The wines are great and the sommelier gave us a real lesson on French wines. After the fantastic tasting we went to lunch in Caves restaurant and to our surprise, we were served by the owner of Caves Ambacia , Mr Pascal who explained the menu in excellent Portuguese! The food from the restaurant was great, we recommend a visit to everyone, because for us it was a fantastic experience! Imperdible! Thank you Pascal and the staff!

A must visit! - This is repeat visit and is well worth it! There was no wine tour visit this time as we came here for their delicious meat and cheese board along with my personal favorite wine the 2022 Perrieres Amboise 2022 and tasted many other great wines. Jonathan was a gracious host and is highly recommended if you decide to do some wine tasting. It was great running into Tomas who was our wine tour guide on our last visit. Looking forward to the cases of wine being shipped to the USA and coming back once again!
