A great tour for lovers of wine - The eight people maximum made the tour intimate but tour guide Joe was the difference between just another wine tour and a five star experience. His knowledge of wines was outstanding but so was his knowledge of local history, geography, agriculture and everything else. Had a story and a joke for every occasion. His English was also very good, which is so important. The two tastings were very well organised and the wine museum at the first location was an added bonus.

He came in the morning - Very good experience. I went with my partner and we were a group of 8 in the van and we met two very different wineries. Our very friendly guide, was telling us the story of Chateauneuf du Pape and the region on the 30 min drive to the wineries. Very good wines!

Great wineries, just watch your tour company - The wineries are great--enjoyable, beautiful and remarkable. Each of the two wineries we visited was staffed with excellent in-house guides who made the tours and tastings a wonderful experience. Just a word of caution, watch who you book with. Our guide was far less engaged and interested (and interesting) than the AMAZING, INCREDIBLE guide of a competing company who was on the same tour to the same wineries, who was full of info and willing to share it. Also, even though my tour was confirmed for weeks as being a 'go,' within 24 hours of its scheduled time, I received a disturbing text that they were going to cancel me since I was the only one registered for that date and time. This made no sense and left me no choice but to change my holiday plans to accommodate the new time they gave me. That was inconvenient and disorienting--travel schedules are tight. Maybe this is an inherent risk of travelling solo. But the bottom line is that the two wineries were great and well worth seeing, but be careful about the agency you book with, esp if travelling solo.
