I will come back! - This tour was an absolute dream! Our guide was fantastic, so friendly and passionate about wine and history. After we visited the stunning Chenonceau Castle, we had an incredible lunch paired with local wines. Driving through the vineyards and stopping for a tasting in the nature was a unique experience. Everything was well organized and personalized to our interests. Highly recommend if you want to see the best of the Loire Valley in one day!

The best experience in France! - We had such a wonderful day! The castle was so impressive, and it felt special to visit such a historic place together. Lunch was a real treat, it was delicious, with great local wine to go with it. The wine tasting was definitely our favorite part. It was fun learning about the different types of wines and trying them in such a beautiful setting. Go for it!

WONDERFUL! - An unforgettable day in the Loire Valley! Chambord Castle is absolutely stunning, and our guide brought its history to life. Lunch at the winery was delicious, perfectly paired with exceptional wines. The winery tour was informative and enjoyable. A must-do experience for anyone visiting the region!

Highly recommend! - We had the most amazing day on our private Loire Valley trip! Our guide was fantastic and made sure we got the most out of every moment. The highlight of the day was definitely visiting Château de Chambord and it’s absolutely breathtaking. After that, we headed to a charming winery for lunch, where we were treated to a delicious, locally sourced meal paired with wines. To top it off, we then enjoyed a guided tour of another winery, learning about the winemaking process and tasting some of their finest bottles. Highly recommend!

The top experience you don't want to miss ! - This is a must-to-do ! I didn't think it would be so interesting and diversify ! This experience is clearly the best day of our tour in France ! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the region, its history and obviously the wines. Our day started perfectly with a visit of one the most beautiful castle I have ever seen : Chambord. I found the double helix staircase so fascinating. I'm pretty sure that with spring coming the gardens will be prettier day by day. For the lunch we were welcomed like super guests at Cave Ambacia : the lunch was delicious but not as much as the wines we tasted ! Finally, we had a visit and tasting at Montdomaine wine estate and I'm so glad to have learnt so much about Loire wine grapes and wines.
To conclude, thank you to the WineDays team for their accompany and all the precisions and details they sent us before to go. I will definitively and highly recommend to go on tour with them !

Loire Valley Tour with Alex - We greatly enjoyed having a private tour for this portion of our trip, and Alex was a fantastic tour guide. From picking us up at our hotel with breakfast and bottled water, to his experienced driving, we had a great trip outside of Paris. While at Chambord, he gave us an in-depth explanation of the history of the Chateau and answered all of our questions in a friendly manner. We had a fantastic lunch in a historical restaurant followed by an amazing wine tasting. Alex was familiar with the winery which allowed us to begin our tasting early, which we appreciated immensely. Alex also boasted a very impressive knowledge of wine. As a distributor and winery owner, he was able to educate us on French wine throughout the day and provided some fantastic recommendations for us to try while eating in Paris. The wines he suggested were absolutely fantastic! If you're booking a trip of this style via Viator, ask for Alex. You won't be disappointed!

Brilliant Christophe (Tim) was awesome - The bad: Paris traffic. Everything else was great. Chateau Chambord has an awesome interactive experience and was a great visit. Bredif had an excellent cave, but middling wine. Great tour. Vignoble Alain Robert has excellent white wines.
The best part was the tour guide, Chris, whom we nicknamed, Tim. Very personable, knowledgeable, et helpful.
I would do this again. A fun time.
