Don’t hesitate, Book this tour now - We had an absolutely wonderful day on our wine tour with Brice. The entire experience was exceptionally well-organized, comfortable, and truly memorable. Brice's deep knowledge and passion for the region made the tour both informative and incredibly enjoyable. One of the highlights was meeting the generational winery owners, who generously shared their winemaking processes with us. They explained how their work is both a science and an art, revealing the intricate decisions they must make and the risks and rewards involved. It was fascinating to hear how the timing of these decisions impacts the final product. The tours of their wineries were captivating, and the wine tastings were plentiful and generous. We also enjoyed a delightful breakfast and lunch, which were excellent additions to the day. Brice ensured that every detail of the tour was perfectly planned, and his dedication to providing a top-notch experience was evident throughout. We explored the winemaking traditions of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé and visited two local wineries. Additionally, we stopped at a goat farm to taste the renowned Crottin de Chavignol cheese and enjoyed a walk through the charming medieval streets of Sancerre. The vineyard views were breathtaking, offering fantastic photo opportunities. If you're considering this tour, don't hesitate to book it. You won’t regret it, and it will surely become a cherished memory of your time in France.

Absolute best day! Book this tour! - Brice made this wine tasting day trip so special! The wines we tasted were awesome, the people at the wineries were so nice, lunch was great and the goat cheese was amazing. This is the opposite of a commerical touristy wine tour. I felt like a was a local driving around with Brice. You see the area from a different lens touring with Brice. Really nice guy who cares about your safety and makes sure everyone has a great time. Kept us all on schedule but never felt rushed. Very laid back day. I wish I had listened to my mom’s advice and advance booked his champagne tour too..next time! Also, I did this tour solo and it was great! Thanks for a really awesome day Brice and let me know if you and your family come to San Diego!

A genuine French treasure in wine tourism beyond what we ever could have wished for, a dream we will never forget. - Brice graciously guided us through the Loire River Valley from the moment we met to the time of our return. We felt as if we were visiting distant families of our own at every stop. The learning opportunities were never ending as Brice and the hosts at each place happily offered us samples of their goods and welcomed every question we asked about their wines, foods and the life of winemaking. Personally as once a professional driver I can say that Brice’s driving skills are exceptional. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the day knowing we were in good hands and in a well made vehicle. We are forever grateful for the wonderful time we had together and consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found and selected Paris Wine Day Tours for their services. Thank you Brice for your hospitality, knowledge and for your warm and cheerful personality. Also many thanks to the Domaine des Rabichates and Domaine Phillippe Raimbault vignerons, and the village of Sancerre!

Amazing wine tasting! - The wine tour to Sancerre and Pouilly Fume was incredible! It was truly an honor to meet the winemakers, learn their family’s stories and about their winemaking process. Also, Brice’s expert knowledge helped guide us through the regions, explaining the differences in soil types. Plus, as a solo travel, it’s a great way to get out of Paris and meet some new people who love wine as much as you do!

Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume Tour - Excellent tour of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume. Small group, comfortable minivan, courteous driver/guide. We sampled wines from the region in a very relaxed atmosphere. Either you are a wine connoisseur or complete novice, you will definitely enjoy this tour. We never felt rushed yet the time went by so fast.

Must do while visiting Paris if you love wine - Loved our wine tour with Brice. Directions for pickup spot were great. Brice was informative and professional. We loved the stop at the goat farm and the town of Sancerre was so charming. It is an all day tour but we had lots of stops to break it up. Overall it was a lovely day.
