My husband and I had a wonderful time with Franck. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about the AOC and grape growth/vinification processes of the Loire Valley. The valley is likely the most amazing place in all of France to taste wine, and Franck was such a wealth of knowledge it was delightful and inspiring. I would whole heartedly recommend this tour to anyone with interest in the wines of the Loire Valley or anyone just interested in seeing a beautiful part of France with someone who is immersed and fluent in the culture.

***DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE*** TERRIBLE customer service. Have contacted them before the Covid pandemic asking for a refund. Did not receive it. Then Covid hit - asked MANY times via email for a refund. This trip was for 4 adults - for a cost of 476Euros. There have been so many emails - and they keep saying that a refund is in the works. First they said immediately, then they said 6 months. I cannot recommend this tour operator due to this blatant disrespect of their customers. I need these funds back. I was out of work for more than 8 months - and this is really unacceptable.
10. Tour of the Nantes vineyards in a Citroën 2CV
In these times when our society seeks to go ever faster, we are in search of serenity and seek to relive the present moment and to take advantage of it. By strolling in these emblematic cars of our ancestors, by furrowing the Nantes vineyard aboard our 2 Citroën CVs, by breathing the smell of these popular cars, we will be able to travel to the time of our ancestors, this time when we took time to enjoy. We will find the old stones and tread on the clay to taste a selection of muscadets around a wooden barrel, in a castle lost in the middle of the greenery and vineyards. These few hours will allow us to relive these emotions of the past that we have forgotten today.
Inclusions: Specialties from the Nantes region, Muscadet tasting at Château du Coing, Pétanque and Mölkky games on the Pont Caffino site
