A Great Escape During our Week in Paris - Brice was so easy to work with and we felt very well taken care of. He was a safe driver, very friendly and patient. We were a group with three generations and everyone enjoyed the day! We all loved the goat cheese farm. The beautiful family owned vineyard we visited was incredibly charming and the wine superb. The restaurant in Sancerre looked out at a beautiful countryside. Our final stop was a castle. He helped craft a day that everyone loved.

A great day in Sancerre - We had a great day out in the Sancerre region with Brice who is a very likeable and knowledgeable guide. A pit stop on the way for coffee/bathroom and a brief on what our day entailed and then we were off again.
The stop at the Goat cheese farm was very interesting and the variety of cheeses tasty. We visited two wonderful wineries and had a lovely lunch in a town with terrific views over the vineyard landscape.
I’d encourage anyone to book a tour with Bruce and @pariswinedaytours

A wonderful trip! - My girlfriend and I booked a day trip to Sancerre. And what an experience! We were warmly welcomed by a very nice and knowledgeable host, Brice. The trip to Sancerre was in a comfortable minibus before we arrived at our first stop, a local farm that produces cheese. From there, we went to a local winery. We tasted cheeses and wines that we liked, and some of it was bought to take home. We had a fantastic day and experience, and highly recommend the trip if you want an extra dimension to your stay in Paris. Kari og Signor:)

Guided wine tour through the Loire Valley. - Fortunately we had great weather as Brice "chauffeured" us from Paris to the Loire Valley for some very tasty wines... oh! and goat cheese.
We met and left around 7am for a 1.5 - 2 hour ride to the beautiful Loire valley. After driving for about 45 minutes, we stopped at a croissanterie (I know, I never heard of a croissanterie either and I think I got that spelling right...) but it was a such a welcomed stop and oh so delicious!
Our first stop was a goat farm, where they produced some amazing and tasty goat cheeses, which we sampled and if desired, purchased.
The two wineries (one in Tracy-sur-Loire and one in Sancerre) showcased mostly Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and Pouilly-Fuissé. All the wines we sampled were delicious and with different pallets, some more-so than others.
In between the two wineries, we stopped at Le Rempart, a wonderful little eatery that served some very delicious meals with wine.
Brice is an excellent guide and interpreter. I'm not sure how many languages he speaks, but I'm sure it's more than French and English.
The cost may seem a little high, but with the croissanterie and luncheon included. we all felt the time was well spent.

Great visit to Sancerre - We very much enjoyed our day trip to Sancerre with Brice. Two vineyard stops, a visit to a cheese making farm, and time to walk around Sancerre was a great day. Brice was knowledgeable and very helpful...one of the best guides we have had. We highly recommend for any wine lovers.

The best wine tour I’ve been on! - Truly an experience of a lifetime! This was the best wine tour I’ve ever been on. The itinerary was absolutely perfect. We went to a goat cheese farm, 2 wineries, a local restaurant for lunch and the village of Sancerre. Brice, our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, patient and kind. The wineries we visited were local and family owned for generations. I learned so much about the Sancerre region and the history of wine making. I especially enjoyed how intimate the tour was, only 4 other guests besides me and my friend. Highly recommend!

Would not recommend! Last minute booking cancellations by operator. - Difficult to review the actual wine and vineyards as the tour operator cancelled our booking two day before the event. We travelled from Sydney to Paris and this was meant to be one of the highlights/splurges given the cost. Two day before we get a cancellation email, allowing no time to make alternate arrangements as most companies were already fully booked. The resolution provided was to pay an additional 500 euros “in cash” to secure a private tour. Slow booking days should not be a concern for paying customers. I cannot imagine a restaurant would cancel all bookings and shut up shop on a slow day. It’s the price of doing business. Would not recommend as you may have your reservation cancelled on a whim.
