Good people, wine and oysters. - Was a good combination of wine tasting and oyster eating! The drive to the vineyard was comfortable. A documentary movie was being filmed when we arrived so we didn't get to experience the entire vineyard, but more than enough. The tasting was good with a nice variety and good explanations. We then traveled to the oyster farm area and saw the oyster tables in the water and the prep area for planting the oysters and for harvesting them. The best was going upstairs to experience them. Fresh, briny and delicious. Plus we also got to try some smoked mussels that a group from another tour couldn't finish! Bonus. The wine we had with the oysters was perfect. Met some fantastic folks from near London as well.

Oysters yum!! - Our guide Marc was very friendly and knowledgeable. The wine tasting was nice. The oysters even better! We recommend this tour cause you will never know to go to this restaurant for oysters and mussels if you are a tourist.

Fantastic tour! - This is such an enjoyable tour. Even if you've taken wine tours before, this is just delightful and to enjoy oysters fresh from the sea within minutes, is not something you can always get at home.Once you get out of the van and smell the salt air, your taste buds are just waiting for those oysters. Our guide, Marc, was every bit a knowledgeable guide but in no way stuffy. We asked him everything about agriculture and aquaculture in France. There is no pressure on this tour, so you just can be yourself and enjoy what is best about France. Very nice wines on a very nice tour!

Great way to spend an afternoon - The meeting point was easy to find and Carine was an excellent guide. We had thought of doing a winery tour by car but this was much easier. The oyster farm was interesting (and oysters and wine served a wonderful way to kick off the afternoon). We then went to the winery. We enjoyed a tour of the chateau and chapel, as well as the tasting of a good selection of excellent wines. Highly recommend this tour.

Very pleasant stay - Beautiful city, lots to discover and very pleasant people. Unfortunately, in many restaurants people speak to you in English, which I find a shame. I speak French and feel like a stranger in my own country. Strasbourg is also a university town, but in the city people speak French first. Free tram line ideal for seeing everything.
