On October 18, we had a preminium wine tasting for 2 people (50€/pers). However, due to a mistake made by the cellar, they made us taste the smaller range wines (36€/pers). When they realized, at the last glass, to make up for their mistake, they offered us a bottle. We thought it was a good wine that would make up for the price difference (28€). The wine they gave us was only worth 14€. I find this inappropriate and not far from dishonest!

Money down the drain. I learned nothing more than I already knew, and the premium wine I tasted was frankly not very good. The explanations ėtaient certainly well for someone who knows absolutely nothing about wine.

1 hour goes by very quickly! Interesting explanations of the different grape varieties, wine-growing regions and climates... Tasting glass not offered: considering the price of the service, it's a bit petty....

For the price. Quality of wines disappointing. Out of 3 wines, only 1 caught our attention.

Nice experience, giving us a grounding that we're going to build on, we really liked the 3 premium wines we tasted. The place is beautiful. The sommelier was pleasant and straightforward in his explanations. In short, a very good gift experience that we really enjoyed.

Very friendly and competent guide Good explanations of the history of wine in France Unfortunately, there is very little explanation of wine composition during tastings. You just drink your glass, without understanding the different notes.

A little too short, but the guide was friendly and interesting, and the premium wines were really good! The place is lovely, with charming rooms to wander through and a sense of the history of the place that's a real change of scenery. A must-try for a cultural activity that doesn't take up too much time but creates a real interlude ⭐️
