I had been in Montpellier for two weeks before discovering this company. You can find a lot of…read morereviews on Instant Terroir on trip advisor, but I sometimes take those with a grain of salt. However, this tour was a real delight. From the prompt responsiveness of Edward, to the timely pick up near my hotel, the entire trip was one entire seamless experience. Edward met me downtown at the tourist office, we went to pick up another couple, and from there we were off to Pic Saint Loup! Our first stop was the Zumbaum Tomasi winery. From the moment that we got to the car, you could tell that Edward was passionate about wines. He explained to us how the different wines were made, and introduced us to the wineries managers. We tasted a rose and two reds. After that we drove off to the second winery, which was called the Mas Gourdou winery where we tasted a white wine, a rose wine, red wine, and a dessert wine. We got to meet the owner of the Vineyard. The beautiful thing about both of these Vineyards is that they're both organic and estate wines. The grapes are grown, harvested, and bottled at each one of the estates. these bottles of wine pretty special and not your every day supermarket wine. We capped off the evening with a wonderful dinner cooked by Edward's mom. Our first course was a delicious and expertly done phyllo dough stuffed with a local goat cheese and an olive topping odd. Our main course was then a pork tagine followed by Apple pie and a chocolate cake. Oh! Did I mention the bottle of wine that came with the meal? The meal far exceeded our expectations!! We were so stuffed at the end. Edward drop us off at the end of the evening. If I were to ever come back to France I would definitely do the tour again.
