I did not expect this... - I did not expect this would be so personalized and private. I expected a group of 8 and it was just my husband and myself. Laurent is so fantastic! He knew the wine staff and even took us on a tour of a small town before lunch. Lunch was an amazing small restaurant where we even got to meet and talk to the chef. This was a memorable experience and I cannot wait to schedule my next trip!

Amazing experience - My husband and I tremendously enjoyed this tour with Laurent! We enjoyed how personal the whole day was and would book another tour with this company next time we are in the region. Laurent was very personable, knowledgable, and passionate about wine. The wineries we visited were all welcoming and helped us better understand Chateauneuf Du Pape wine - we learned something new at each winery. We would highly recommend this tour!

Intoxicated with the Pope's preferred Wine Appellation and History - Christopher is a responsible and punctual. He made sure he managed all aspects of this tour perfectly. We visited 3 wineries and 1 chocolate outlet. Also visited the ruins of the castle in which the pope had resided and which was then used by the Germans in WW2 and mostly destroyed. Had wine tastings in all 3 wineries. As Chateau La Nerthe was our first one we spend maximum time there with the very quirky Mr Alexi who was very passionate about all things wine. Interesting that one full section was blocked out & never discovered by the German overtake in WW2. After a fast lunch in a beautiful restaurant nearby, we visited Chateau de la Gardine with its funny bottle designs. Again the hostess lead us to wine tasting and we curbed our gulps and spat out more as we were getting intoxicated Finally we visited Chateau Fortia the smallest and me Ms Miguenelle and team. Time being short didn't visit the storage areas and bought some wines In between visited the Castle which was lovely and full of history, which we really loved but the heat was too much to stay longer. Finally the Chocolate outlet Chocolaterie Castelain was comparatively a let down as we couldn't see production. Also we do not get the choicolates we prefer to be packed and weighed and given we have to take the pre-packed sets. So we did. Mr Christopher on the other hand is knowledgeable, very interested in his line of work 7 that shows. Makes sure we are enjoying as well. Guides us on the right buys and was so wonderful to drop us off to the market center in Marseilles after a shirt stop to drop off our purchase at our hotel. He was so thoughtful to pack us some souvenirs of Provence. I would highly recommend Christopher always he is really wonderful person

An amazing day in Provence - The whole experience from start to finish was great. Getting to see three wineries, each with its own distinct style was highly enjoyable. Christopher was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Getting a chance to walk around Avignon and stopping for chocolate was also very nice. It was a perfect day! Highly recommend!!

This was a fabulous day tour for us - Laurent and Chris were fabulous, they were informative, interesting and helpful while being a little fun as well. They arranged and managed a great day for us amongst the town and chateaus that we loved from start to end. We came across the world to see and experience this - so high expectations…. And they exceeded even those.

Great guide, but the overall experience is very average and can be improved significantly. - Chris was great - very knowledgeable and helpful. We liked him a lot and he made experience good. But the selection of vineyards is questionable - the last one, Chateau Fortia, while considered to have some good vines (objectively/reviews), is not really worth visiting. Nothing to see and tasting experience is far below average at best. I contacted and tried to inquire the list before the tour and was told it will be selected closer to the tour. And when I inquired closer to the tour and asked what I was really interested in I was told the selection is set and will bee great. While first 2 chateaus are worth a visit and provide and good experience (Gardine, Nerth), overall I would not recommend and would rather pick the chateaus you like and go on your own schedule.
