Fun and enjoyable. - Really enjoyable and educational tasting session.
Would recommend booking in advance as it was full when we went and the tasting tours happen at fixed times throughout the day.

Can be recommended if you have sufficient knowledge of French - The tour was very informative. Unfortunately, we reached our limits with the language. We found the wine tasting very convincing

Unmissable cave, well worth the visit - We were very well received by the owner, whose Cave has been in the family for over 100 years. We love the young, fresh and mineral whites. But the reds were also very good. All accompanied by a beautiful cold cuts board, enjoying the view of the Loire River. Unmissable!

Great value for money - Very good quality tour and tasting for the price. We ate at the restaurant above after our tour and whilst the quality was still good it was a little over priced for what we received. Would recommend!

It is worth it - The place is incredible inside a real cave, even Leonardo D’Vince deposited almost 20 thousand bottles. The explanation was great and the tasting too
