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!

Great wine tour in Sancerre for our family of 4 - We had such a great experience on our tour, I can’t imagine a better day for our family. 2 food and wine loving parents, with 10 and 12 year old daughters along for the ride. Goat cheese farm, winery, one of the best lunches we had in France, and a castle tour worked into the custom day. Brice was a great guide, translating for us and adding his own stories too. He made everything smooth and comfortable.

Great day in Loire Valley - We did three day trips while in Paris, and Brice was by far the best guide. He took care of everything, and we really enjoyed our time visiting the Loire Valley with him, including the wine makers that he had relationships with, and the goat farm and cheese tasting.

Sancerre - wine! cheese! goats! - My husband and I spent a week in Paris with our daughter on Spring Break and signed up for a day trip to Sancerre wine region with Brice. It was the highlight of our week! While the drive is long, it is well worth the time to explore the two generational winemakers and their operations as well as a goat farm where cheese is made. Brice has a wonderful relationship with the locals, and we were taken "behind the scenes" of the processes which we found very intriguing as well as a learning experience. Having been to Tuscany and Napa, it was interesting to see how different the French approach to wine making is and how it truly is the soul of family whose generations have produced the wine. They take great pride in what they do and maintain the integrity of the wine through the generations (under strict rules of the country)...one winemaker had been in business 500 years through 16 generations and another was a young woman following in her Grandfather's footsteps as 7th generation. Both tastings were excellent wines, and we walked away with an appreciation of what it means to have the Sancerre and Pouilly Fume labels. Of course the goats were adorable (if you bend down to their level just watch your hair!) and while we typically are more cow cheese fans, the product the farm produced was tasty! We would not have had the experience we did without Brice as our guide. He was patient and knowledgeable and was able to address all questions we asked of him. We highly recommend him for this tour, and next time we visit Paris we will be signing up for his Champagne tour!

A Beautiful Day in Sancerre - What a gorgeous day spent tasting wonderful wines with Brice! It was so nice to just show up and not have to worry about any scheduling or planning of this day trip. Brice took great care of us and we loved every minute! The goat cheese farm and wineries were incredible, and spending time in the little town of Sancerre was such a treat. I would recommend this tour to anyone, and would love to do it again myself! Thanks again, Brice!

Wonderful wine tasting and goat farm experience - I recently went to Paris with my girlfriend but we had a tight window for a tour, and Brice was very accommodating to make himself available to take us on a customized tour. Brice was very engaging and extremely knowledgeable about the wines, the region and history. We were able to walk through the vineyards and he took some amazing pictures which we got framed. We then went to a goat farm and had such a fun time. The cheeses were delicious! There were so many tasty treats at the local market which we bought to have for later, and we also got some souvenirs for family and friends. We then went on a personalized tour of a family winery and even got to meet and have a tasting with the owner. We're planning to order some of our favorites. It was a wonderful experience and exceeded our expectations. Brice was a terrific guide and made it memorable for us!

the BEST way to experience the Loire Valley - My husband and loved our tour of the Loire Valley with Brice. I have now taken a Paris Wine Day Tour four times and will never use another tour company. The price is extremely reasonable for the experience, you learn so much about the actual wines and the wine making process, the trip is genuinely fun, and of course the wine is fantastic! We just sent to Brice our order for wines to ship to the US and are looking forward to having a taste of the Sancerre region from our home. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brice and our tour. We will be back!
