Corded, Albi and Gaillac wine
mcclure313, Apr 2026
Sonja was an excellent guide. And the places we visited were amazing. Highly recommend!
Sister’s trip in Grance

Fun time, our guide was very knowledgeable of the regions… the only thing is the wine tour was fast and didn’t explain much about the vines nor the region. The winery owners were lovely.
Getting the history of the area was a huge plus
Allan J, Oct 2025
Amelie was fantastic. During the one hour drive to Albi she perfectly captured the history of the area from the Roman times to Louis IVX, which provided a tremendous amount of context to the day in general. That history and perspective that she provided all the way through our wine tasting at the end of the day really gave a complete experience. The three locations on this tour are great intros to the Tarn region in France.
Terrific trip, fully recommended!!!
