Wonderful wine lesson and tasting - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thomas, our guide, is a sommelier who taught us how to better understand and enjoy wine using his wisdom and humor. His English was fluent and easy to understand. We tasted six wines paired with cheese and meats. The whole experience was around two hours. It was easy to reach the cave by foot from the center of Amboise. We highly the outing.

Excellent wine tour, fantastic bistro - This is the best wine tour and tasting I’ve ever experienced. I’m from Canada, so there’s the history here that we don’t get in my part of the world (caves that were lived in back in the 16th century; the winery having operated there since 1874). But also an excellent education in wine tasting, why certain foods bring out the best of the wines (and which ones), and also a great bistro where we had a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour.
