Amazing Tour & Great Guide - Highly Recommend!
R933BIwilliams, Dec 2024
Despite a delayed start to our tour due to rain, our guide Ilia was incredibly understanding of the circumstances and ensured my group made the most of our time. Both wineries were wonderful with great wine & very personal tasting experiences. The time to explore Chinon during lunch was also very much appreciated (made even better by great food recommendations from Ilia!). My group came away from this tour with a ton of new knowledge of wine and the region as a whole. Overall, this experience far surpassed my expectations & was one of the best days of our 10+ day Europe vacation. 10/10!
Perfect way to see the Loire Valley Wine Regions

Ilia was the perfect tour guide, engaging, educational, charismatic, and fun! Our group of 6 are a bit newer to the wine scene and Ilia along with the employees of the two vineyards we visited went above and beyond to educate and entertain us. The star of the show besides Ilia was Truf the chateau cat at the second vineyard! We had a wonderful time and were shocked that the vineyards we visited were basically private to just us and we really got an in depth experience understanding the culture and the wine! I would recommend this tour to everyone I know!
Perfect tour fabulous guide

This was an absolutely excellent tour that I would HIGHLY recommend for anyone interested in Loire Valley wine production. Our guide was Ilya, who is a wine expert and passionate about this area. Having already done a number of wine tours, I can say that Ilya was the best we've had, and that's saying a lot. We visited two vineyards, each distinctive, and had an in-depth explanation of each vineyards approach to viticulture. Extensive wine tasting in each place also. For lunch we were on our own in Chinon. Ilya introduced us to various places so we could choose what suited us, which was perfect. All around this was the perfect day.
Amazing Winery and Chinon Experience

Absolutely fantastic tour. Very easy pickup right on time outside the Tours tourist center. Ilya was a fantastic host the entire time. We visited two lovely wineries and tasted more than a dozen wines (all absolutely delicious). Ilya went above and beyond, with great knowledge and entertaining tips. He gave several honest suggestions for lunch (which was free time in downtown Chinon). Highly recommend and would book a tour with Ilya again next time we are in the Loire Valley!
Wonderful Tour!

This is one of the best tours I have been on! Our guide, Ilia, was very engaging and knowledgeable. As described, we went to two wineries and had the opportunity to tour and taste. We also had a wonderful lunch (per Ilia's recommendation) at L'Oceanic in the medieval city of Chinon. We learned much about the Loire Valley wines, and appellations. I highly recommend this tour!
