Very disappointed
michaelpY3357ZP, Sept 2024
I’ve been to many wine tours. This was easily the worst I’ve ever had and wish I could get my time and money back. They take you to two wineries. The first is absolutely atrocious. You pull up to an ugly driveway with trucks and hoses. You are taken into a stuffy cavern wi ty wine barrels and the guide there speaks monotone, uncharismatic and hard to hear. You see no grapes, no vineyards, and they have you sample white wine only. There is no red wine nor cheese or bread. You can’t even buy it. There is no view. Easily the worst wine tasting experience I’ve had. The second winery is much better and a pleasant experience. They actually make an effort. But it’s hard to shake off the feeling of the first location.
Wine Tasting in Vouvray

We had a great time tasting wines with Alex. She was fun, yet professional. She definitely knows her Loire Valley wines.
