Personalized Wine Tour for Friends
Meredith A, Aug 2024
My friends and I had the best experience on this tour! Colin took us to 4 exceptional wineries on our quest to find the best Sauvignon Blanc. We experienced everything from small family wineries to one larger corporate winery with Sancerre. He even brought us to an adorable town for lunch.
Can’t recommend Colin and Loire Valley Wine Tours enough! He works to customize your private tour to meet your requests and what you want to try! He also facilites getting wine home to the States! And he is super knowledgeable about wines and the region and is a delight to be with for the day!
Lovely Day in the Loire Valley

Colin was a knowledgeable guide and did a fantastic job of building an ideal day in the Loire Valley. He was quick to answer our email questions in advance and we really enjoyed spending the day with him and feeling like we got a truly unique experience. We hope to be back in the region again and would happily book another tour with him!
A great day that hit the mark

This was a 10/10 tour. We were looking to do a lot in our one full day in the Loire Valley, and this tour certainly delivered. We got history and culture at the chateau in the morning ... local flavor with a great lunch ... wineries in the afternoon ... and great commentary from Colin along the way.

An Experience You'll Cherish Forever!

My wife and I (mostly her) spent a lot of time looking at different tours in the region for an excursion during our trip to Paris, and fortunately for us she stumbled upon this hidden gem. We selected the two-day Loire Experience tour: Chinon and Vouvray.
Getting there was pretty straightforward from Paris. Colin had picked us up from our hotel in Tours where we instantly fell in love with our charismatic and knowledgeable guide, Colin. He made us feel so welcome during the entire experience. There was never a dull moment from that point forward.
We sampled wines from Azay le Rideau, Chinon, Bourgueil, Quarts-de-Chaume, Coteaux-du-Layon, Anjou, Touraine, Touraine-Chenonceau, Touraine-Amboise, Crémant de Loire, Pouilly-fumé, and Sancerre. I honestly have never been so impressed by a tour like this in my life and I will always hold it near and dear to my heart.
Thank you Colin for showing us a lovely and unforgettable time! We would definitely go again.

Your review has me smiling like a Cheshire Cat. Never before have I been described as a hidden gem but I will do my best to sparkle and shine for my future clients!
With two days available to us we can do so much more and I am proud to have had the opportunity to show you some of the best that the Loire Valley has to offer visitors. It's so lovely to have Americans back here after the bleak Covid years.
When you enjoy your work as much as I do the big difference between one tour and another is the clients I spend my days with. Thank you for making it such a pleasure to assist you.
A great day in the Loire Valley

We had a wonderful tour with Colin. He is a very professional guide who is immensely knowledgeable of the wines and history of the region. The tour of Chenonceau was littered with tons of details as he enabled us to be transported centuries back in time to imagine what life was like at the Chateau. We visited three wineries, each with unique stories and delicious wines. We we were throughly impressed by the depth, quality, and value of the wines at each winery. He provided great company and laughs throughout the day, and we'd happily recommend him to anyone wanting a great tour of the area.

I earn my living from clients, showing them the Loire Valley, its vineyards, chateaux, countryside and more, but there are times when I feel I have made new friends, had a delightful time and perhaps should be paying them for the privilege!
Well, I am not complaining that after a Covid gap of nearly two years, customers are hammering on my door once again.
What a delightful way to earn your living though, touring with lovely people, showing off the region I love, and getting paid for it!
Thank you for your custom and for being such pleasant people to spend the day with; and for your kind review.
