  • Reviewer: David & Sandi Wood, Nanaimo located in British Columbia, Canada
    "Everything was first class, from the accommodations to the meals. Colette B was wonderful, and the itinerary was excellent. We had access to tastings and chateaus that wine enthusiasts can only dream of. And then there was the food - magnificent! We made some great new friends and will certainly be telling our old wine enthusiastic friends about your future trips. Your tour confirmed that the art of good living is drinking fine wines with great food and great friends. Thanks for making this our best vacation ever!"
