Great wine tasting tour! - Our tour guide Dimitri was great!!! We visited 2 different wineries, toured their wine caves and production processes in early September during the harvest and crush. After touring the production processes at both wineries, we tasted all of their wines which were absolutely delicious. I am now only a French wine drinker!!!!
We loaded into Dimitri's van at the Tours tourist office around 2:30 and didn't return until 6:30 p.m.!!!!
He also took us out into vineyards on farm dirt roads and to educate us on local growing and harvesting practices and local history all of which was not only above and beyond the description of the tour, but fascinating!!!!

Great Vouvray experience - It was a great trip, especially because of Chloe, who was an excellent guide. The wine tasting at Château Gaudrelle was good and the person hosting us was very good at explaining the harvest process, the cellars and the tasting as well. The wines were good. The second place (I forget the name) a beautiful location. The wine tasting was good but I preferred the tasting at the first place. It was good to take the tour as getting to these locations solo and is not a good option and it seems that group tastings are a preferred option for these places.

Interesting overview of wine making in the region - An excellent tour guide who added greatly to the overall experience. The guide at the first stop off with the tour of the caves provided much insight of the making of Vouvray wine.

Lovely way to spend a half day - It was a very pleasant afternoon. Lovely to see the country side and the agricultural. We tasted some very nice wine of the region and learned the wine making process. It was a warm day so we really appreciated the troglodytes. Our guide was very helpful and had some good tips for things we could do near to where we were staying

Tour guide was very... - Tour guide was very knowledgable and engaging! It was shorter than expected (2 1/2 hours) and we didn't have the chance to see the actual vineyards or wine processing. It would have been helpful to have more information about the tour, to have better aligned my expectations. We did sample quite a few wines.

Not as advertised - If our trip was any indication of what was shown in the advertising, forget the trip and go do something on your own. We signed up for an English speaking guide, which unfortunately could barely understand. Spent most of the time traveling in a van and stoped at one winery that was the highlight and very informative, but the second winery was basically in town and nothing remotely looking like a winery with bartenders hustling around pouring wine. I’m hoping this was just a bad day for the tour and not the norm
