What an incredible day trip! Our sommelier guide Huw is the best. Such a nice person, interesting, and very knowledgeable about wines. The trip itself was just perfect. You are picked up at your hotel (which is great so you don't have to spend extra time in the early AM like other tours trying to locate where to meet the group). The transportation is a very nice shuttle. Our tour was only 4 people in total which made it extra nice. We first arrived at a very very lovely domaine that produces delicious sancerre and pinot noir. We liked it so much we shipped a half case home. The tour guide at that winery was so nice and knowledgeable too. I learned a lot. We then had lunch at a local restaurant. It was without a doubt one of my favorite meals of the entire trip. We then went to a second domaine in Sancerre village. It was also very good and I learned a few more things about winemaking and the sancerre grape there. Overall, without a doubt, I would do this trip again. And I would hope Huw would be our guide again. Visiting Sancerre for a day trip leaving Paris was just the perfect thing to do- especially if you appreciate and want to learn about wine.

Beautiful day in Sancerre Educational and beautiful countryside. An unforgettable experience. Knowledgeable and kind guide
We had such a great time with Tommy and Lucie! They’re both very knowledgeable about the region and took us to some great tastings and the best lunch spot! If you’re looking for a wine tour that is a bit off the beaten path, look no further! This tour was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip!
One of our favorite tours we’ve ever been on. The wines were fantastic, the lunch was incredible, and getting to see a place whose wines I have loved for quite some time was very special. The countryside and village of Sancerre were gorgeous and it was such a treat do a tour that was a bit off the beaten path. Friends of mine have done wine tours in France (Champagne, Bordeaux, etc.) but I don’t know anyone who has done a trip to Sancerre, which really adds to the sense of uniqueness of the experience. Tommy and Lucy were incredible and knowledgeable hosts and they, along with the guides at the wineries, really helped create an immersive and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this tour for any wine lovers or anyone looking for outside the typical experiences.
This was a great day. Our guide Alexandre was friendly and gave us great information about the Sancerre region and their wines. He picked us up at our hotel and informed us that we were the only group for the day (3 of us). We toured 2 wineries and learned a lot about their wine making processes and the ground and weather conditions for grapes in the region. The tastings were generous and the wines were yummy. We enjoyed the local cheese served to us at the first winery, and it was nice that we had time to stop at the cheese shop. The food and wine we received at the restaurant for lunch was fantastic. The scenic stop with the glass of rose wine was a pleasant extra. It was greatly appreciated that Alexandre was able to drop us back at our hotel at the end of the day. We would use this company again when we travel to Paris in the future.
The tour is excellent. The tour van is comfortable and the tour guide/ driver Aurelien was curtious and very knowledgable. The arranged lunch at a local restaurant was beyond expecting. It was an excellent day that I highly recommend.
Our guide Cedric had great communication with us about the logistics and knew a ton about French wine. He was engaging and fun to be with all day. We had a full van to Sancerre and enjoyed meeting the other travel-mates in our group. The two wineries we went to offered so many tastings and the lunch was fantastic. It felt like a special experience that I couldn't have planned on my own.. it was nice to be taken care of all day. It made getting to and from Sancerre so easy. Thank you Cedric!
Such an unforgettable experience in Sancerre! Wine Passport made us feel right at home. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, and the vineyard views were stunning. Tasting wines from the producers themselves was a highlight. Highly recommend!
Cedric did a wonderful job showing us the wine growing region, introducing us to great wines, and arranging a delightful lunch
We had a fantastic day in Sancerre with Aurelien! He was knowledgeable and friendly. The vineyards visited were excellent demonstrations of the variety in Sancerre. I was able to purchase wines I can not get at home and also taste some incredible wines. A great day!
I did this wine tour in Sancerre with a few friends and had an amazing time. The vineyards are gorgeous, and the wine was incredible. Our guide was friendly and shared so many interesting details about the region’s history and winemaking. We visited a couple of small, family-run wineries and really got a sense of the passion and craftsmanship behind each bottle. The scenery was breathtaking, the tastings were generous, and the whole day felt very well-organized and relaxed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore beautiful Sancerre and taste some fantastic wines!
I really enjoyed this wine tour in Sancerre. Our guide was funny and gave a lot of fun facts. It was the perfect escape for the day and we saw a lot of charming landscapes of the french countryside. Highly recommend it !
Our guide Chloe was fabulous! The wineries were both very good and I loved the lunch in the countryside at a local restaurant. It was a longer drive than I thought from Paris, but other than that I would highly recommend it.
This day in Sancerre was outstanding!! I was picked up at my hotel in Paris and we drove about 2 hrs to arrive to the lovely village of Sancerre. It feels like time has no hold on this place. The view from the ramparts is stunning, overlooking hills of vineyards, which luckily showcased beautiful colors in the morning. On top of that our guide had the idea to open a bottle of rose to ease the group into getting to know each other — simply brilliant! We then proceeded to visit a winery in the morning. We toured their production lines, cellars, and finished by a generous tasting. All the wines were delicious — whites, roses, and reds. Lunch was held in a quaint restaurant, the staff was very friendly, food was delicious accompanied with a well thought of wine pairing from the region. Thank god the food was consistent as most of us were starting to feel a little tipsy! We finished the day with the visit of another winery which was as exquisite as the first. Our guide brought us back to Paris around 6PM. The day was perfectly planned, we had so much wine! We never felt rushed by our guide and all the emissaries of the wineries we visited were great at taking the time to explain their wine making process and what are the keys to their winery’s uniqueness. Truly recommend the experience to anyone who is interested in Sancerre wine, wishes to discover some of the French countryside and taste loads of delicious wines!
We had an amazing time on the Sancerre day trip! The stunning Loire Valley scenery, charming village, and passionate winemakers made the experience truly special. The wine tastings were exquisite, showcasing the region’s unique flavors. Lunch at a local bistro was delicious, perfectly paired with Sancerre wines. Our guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, added so much to the experience, making sure we all felt engaged and informed. This tour is a must for wine lovers and anyone seeking an authentic taste of French culture. Highly recommended!
This tour overall was a comedy of errors. While in Paris with a group of six and one baby we began to search for a day trip wine tour. We went through many tours when looking to book as many have clear child restrictions but ended up with this one as there are no restrictions specified. I messaged on the help center feature before booking to confirm the baby would be ok and was told by the viator help feature it would be. On the day of the tour we were asked to meet the guide at a location 30 minutes away via metro instead of having a hotel pick up as advertised. He arrived late and clearly was not aware of the baby despite me notifying via viator. He allowed us to begin our day and had a good first tasting but at the second tasting we were informed one person could not continue the tour and would have to train home at their own expense given the baby adding an additional person to the tour. After returning home we requested the amount of the train ticket back from viator and was declined. I think this tour is falsely advertised as they did not offer hotel pick up and I think the costumer service was overall low given the cost of the tour. Perhaps consider a different tour company and booking site.
I had the pleasure of joining the Sancerre Small Group Wine Day Trip from Paris, and it exceeded all expectations. The tour offered generous tastings of around ten exquisite wines at different wineries. We tried local specialties, including a delightful goat cheese tasting. A special highlight was the wild tasting session in the vineyards, providing a unique and immersive experience. The traditional French lunch was superb, and our guide was both knowledgeable and engaging. This tour is a must for any wine lover, I highly recommend !
An unforgettable day! This day trip to Sancerre exceeded all expectations. With over 10 wine tastings, including renowned Sancerre varieties and others such as Pouilly-Fumé and Côteaux-de-Giennois, as well as the delicious AOC Crottin de Chavignol cheese, every moment was a treat. The scenery was breathtaking, tasting the wild vineyards was a highlight, and lunch was deliciously authentic. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but fun, which made the small group experience really special. Communication with the My Wine Days team was perfect. Highly recommend for an incredible day out!
