Loire Valley Guided Wine Tour

Hi fellow travelers,

Getting into the nitty gritty of planning now. Our group of four adults wants to do some wine tasting/touring in the Loire valley. We will be based in Amboise. I am having a hard time finding a reasonable priced guide for this. The guide I recently checked with based on trip adviser wants 1000.00 plus euros for one day or 600.00 euros for a half day. This seems way too expensive to me even though I realize it's France! We will have a rental van but don't want to chance drinking and driving as I am told the legal limit in very strictly enforced and very low tolerance in France. We can have a designated driver of course but no one really wants to be left out of the tasting. So, anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone used a guide for wine tasting or did you just go on your own?

Thanks once again!

Hi maryc!

Thank you for the suggestion, the link you sent looks interesting, checking into it. I am surprised how few responses I got as I know there are many travelers on here who like to try the vino! :0) Appreciate your help.
