What to expect
You'll meet your guide in Tours or Amboise and settle into a comfortable minivan for the drive between two working wine properties. At each estate, expect a walk through the vineyards to understand how soil and climate shape the wines, followed by a tasting in the cellar or tasting room. You'll sample four or more wines across styles, paired with house-cured meats and cheeses. Conversations with winemakers or staff often happen informally—questions about production methods and regional differences are encouraged. The return journey gives you time to absorb the landscape and reflect on what you've tasted.
