Keith & Linda gave us a great tour of two wonderful vineyards, together with a fun ride in their 2CV around the area.

Would definitely recommend.

Everything was so wonderful from the cute wineries to the very tasty wine. We gained a lot of knowledge about wine making in France and had the most delicious lunch that Keith and Linda prepared. Perfect hosts.

Our guides, Keith and Linda were amazing! They had extensive knowledge of both the area and wines in general and provided us with additional recommendations for food and hotels beyond the tour itself. Their communication was excellent.

We went to two different wineries representing the Saumur and Chinon regions where we were able to do private tastings with the staff. The tasting hosts spoke English and gave us an excellent overview of both the chateau's wines as well as the regional winemaking philosophy and methods.

We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get a sense of the region in a short time.

We had a great half day tour of the Chinnon area. Keith and Linda were easy to arrange the tour with, then picked us up from our hotel and took us to two wineries. Good company and knowledgable about wine. I would recommend.

Keith & Linda picked us up in Fontevraud, took us to two family run vineyards for tastings, and served us a fantastic lunch in an ancient dovecote on the grounds of one of the wineries. They are extremely personable and we felt like we made had new friends after our experience.

The wines were excellent and I was surprised at how different they were from each other, given they were all made from just two varieties of grapes. Keith kept up a low key commentary as we tasted, complementing the winemakers’ remarks. Both wineries were small and Keith & Linda were obviously good friends with the owners. This was a real highlight of our 3 plus week vacation.

We bumped into Keith & Linda the next day in another small town, and they gave us a recommendation for lunch, which we followed, and it was delightful.

They are talented, enthusiastic promoters of the region’s wines and lovely people to boot.
