Guidekin's take

A relaxed small group day pairing a prestigious château with a family estate, a tasting in the village itself, a guided walk and a picnic lunch of bread, cheese and cold cuts, with the visits in the price.

Only personal spending is extra; the pace is unhurried and the summer option runs as a full day. 4.95 from 326 reviews at €165 per person.

In our comparison: #5 of 31 in Wine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
