Just about the best winery experience you can have - 3 hours of touring vineyards, caves, and tasting Vouvray wines from Vignoble Alain Robert while learning about the grape growing process as well as wine making, cave storage, sparkling wine finishing, etc. Myriam is amazing and not only knows the winery (her husband runs it) but also speaks perfect English and used to be a teacher. Especially if the weather is good, you really can't beat this tour - it may be a bit less personal on weekends when there can be up to 10 people on the tour during high season but for our Tuesday visit it was just two of us and Myriam was as gracious and informative as can be.
After finishing up the tour you'll taste a number of Alain Robert wines and also taste through about 10 local specialty foods from cheese to pate to even a cake with preserved fruit. The only thing you'll need to worry about is how many bottles of this excellent wine you'll want to take home and whether you can fit it into your luggage!
You'll need a car to get there, but this tour is highly recommended. Just about perfect! read more
