Recommendations for guides for a wine tour in Alsace and Normandy/Rouen

We will take the TGV to Strasbourg in late September and want to do some wine tours. We have been to Colmar. Looking for a guide or recommended tour.

In Normandy/Rouen, will take the train from Paris and we will not have a rental car. We have been to the main Normandy beaches, St. Malo and Bayeaux. Looking for a good English speaking guide.

Thanks

Back in 2015, we used Ophorus for a 1 day Pearls of Alsace tour, which we thoroughly enjoyed. That particular tour did stop in Colmar, but they have several other options. Our guide was a local, and spoke very clear English. There was a Japanese gentleman in our small group of 5; and since he was more fluent in French than in English, she did some "translating" for his benefit, which for us was like getting a free lesson in conversational French.

Our guide also recommended a great restaurant in Strasbourg - https://www.letirebouchon.fr/fr/Restaurant

In Dec, 2019, we used Marc's Vino Route Tours, Vinoroute.fr-
It's a very small operation with only one van. Marc was very knowledgeable , has excellent English, owns a Vineyard himself, and has great stories to tell. He's was recommended in one of the RS Guide books.
