Tour of a Vineyard, Winery & Cellar with Wine Tasting in Vouvray, Loire Valley

Our visit, tour and wine tasting was spectacular! Myriam was an exceptional hostess: very easy to be with, and extremely knowledgeable. We walked up to the family vineyards and she explained so much about the farming process. After that was a tour of the limestone cellars that her father-in-law personally carved out, followed by a wine tasting of 9 of their cuvées with a platter of cheeses and rillets to accompany. What a wonderful few hours together!

I'm so glad I came across Myriam and Rendez-Vous dans les Vignes while planning a group birthday trip to Touraine! We all agree it's a top highlight and memory of our trip. Coordinating with Myriam via email ahead of time was smooth. She replied quickly, and I had all the info we needed. She accommodated our large group of 12, and the quality and value of the experience are wonderful. I can't emphasize enough how knowledgeable Myriam is. She clearly has a passion for the winemaking process and was enthusiastic to share it with us. She expertly gave the tour in English and answered all our questions. We loved the vineyard portion of the tour, and the wine tasting and pairings were plentiful. We're grateful for the time spent learning with her, especially at her family business property. Such a special experience, I can't recommend it enough.

We do lots of winery tours and know when we chance upon a good one, but this one was hands down one of the best we’ve experienced. Myriam as a host was extremely knowledgeable and able to explain the vineyard, winery’s history, winemaking process and their wines in an easy to understand but very informative way. The tour of the vineyard and the caves was great and the wine tasting that followed very special. We got to try many of their wines which were expertly matched with delicious local snacks, including some excellent cheeses. I highly recommend this experience, it is excellent value for money and great for wine beginners as well as those that love their wines and know a fair bit about wine making.

Really great 3 hour tour of the vineyard and winery followed by a wine tasting with accompaniments. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in wine but who doesn't want to commit an entire day to a tour.

We had a wonderful afternoon and learned so much about wine-making in France and wine in general. It was fascinating to learn about how complex the process is, and about the specificities of the AOC system. We walked through the vineyard, visited the wine cellar, got to see some of the machinery in action, and tasted delicious wines paired with local cheeses. Myriam was a wonderful guide, so knowledgeable and patient and willing to answer all our questions. Would highly recommend! This was definitely a highlight of our visit to the Loire Valley.
