My husband and I had a wonderful time with Franck. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about the AOC and grape growth/vinification processes of the Loire Valley. The valley is likely the most amazing place in all of France to taste wine, and Franck was such a wealth of knowledge it was delightful and inspiring. I would whole heartedly recommend this tour to anyone with interest in the wines of the Loire Valley or anyone just interested in seeing a beautiful part of France with someone who is immersed and fluent in the culture.
