Lovely wine

The tour was cool and informative, and we really enjoyed the wine tasting. Unfortunately our tour was in French, and while our guide tried to ensure we followed along with the English handout, we felt disconnected and left out because we missed out on jokes told and questions asked that would have made the tour more engaging and interactive. We hope they might consider scheduling dedicated English tour times in between French ones to ensure everyone feels included and has a good experience.

Bland and boring

A very brief and bland walk through of the monk house and gardens (“here’s the bedroom, this was the chimney, here’s the garden” etc.) but a slightly more in-depth tour underground. There wasn’t much energy and atmosphere on our tour. The best park of the whole experience was trying the fizz but only as we’d only had red on other tours so a change was nice. Unfortunately i wouldn’t recommend this tour. It wasn’t in any way unique, and we didn’t learn much. We had much more pleasant, informative and well delivered tours in surrounding vineyards.
