The combination of a guided village stroll and Grand Cru winery tastings appeals to guests who want to connect the destination with its wines. Pre-booked visits and included transportation also suit travelers who prefer an arranged experience rather than organizing winery visits themselves.

She was super flexible, knowledgeable and overall a wonderful guide. The wineries chosen were great (particularly the last 2) and our walking tour of the town was excellent. I couldn’t recommend this tour (particularly a private tour with Clare) enough!
