    Had a delicious picnic before the wine tour which was located overlooking the vines. The guide was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. It was so interesting to hear and taste the wines from the original chateau compared to.the modern chateau. Everything about it was perfect.

    We’ve just come back from the tour and picnic which we really enjoyed and would recommend. The tour is around an hour and a good introduction for beginners. The wine tasting and picnic were great. The guide spoke good English and was very helpful. The facilities were very clean as well.

    Très bonne activité qui nous a permis d’en connaitre un peu plus sur le vin et une guide au top sachant répondre à toutes nos questions. Également la fin, avec le pique nique accompagné et d’un bon vin comme touche finale avec la vue sur le vignoble, c’était parfait !
