My friend Tony booked the tour with Gérald who met us at his bistrot, Les Tontons, from where we drove to the village of Le Puy Notre Dame for the tour of Domaine La Paleine. Gérald was friendly, and extremely knowledgeable as he explained some of the history of the area and the property. We toured part of the vineyards... More

My husband & I had the best time with Gerald for an afternoon of wine tasting & vineyard discovery tour. Gerald was so knowledgeable, friendly & interesting! This was our first taste of the Loire Valley, Gerald answered all our questions & gave us the greatest background to the wines of this region!! We will be back, thanks to the... More

My partner and I booked a one day wine tour with Gerald and Sarah-Jane and it was a truly wonderful experience. Sarah-Jane was my first point of contact after I had used their website to contact them with a few questions about their wine tours. She was incredibly helpful and even organised directions from our hotel to the meeting point... More

Having never been to France before, I was not sure what to expect when wine tasting, but was put at ease immediately when Gerald picked us up from the train station. He was very social, asking questions, wanting to get to know us (this was a private wine tour with my husband). When we arrived to the winery, he was... More

My finacee and I met my Dad, his financee, and my aunt & uncle in the Loire valley for vacation last fall. The trip was top-notch, but nothing else compared to our time with the good people at Uncorked. Gelard is fluent in both French and English, and his ability to explain his craft to relatively unexperienced winos (like my... More

Wow! What an amazing experience. I did the Loire Valley Uncorked experience back in October with my fiance, his father, his father's fiance, and his aunt and uncle. We STILL talk about the experience ALL the time whenever we mention our trip to France. Our day with Gerald was by FAR the highlight of the trip. From the moment we... More

We could not have asked for a better experience for being immersed in the French wine culture in the Loire Valley, or even in France as a whole. Gerald is local to the area and he and his wife, Sarah-Jane, are such lovely people, open, charming, fun and knowledgeable. Gerald is a true connoisseur in the most positive way and... More

I was traveling with two of my friends to the Loire Valley and had the pleasure of getting a private guided tour with Gerald. We had a fantastic time thanks to his insider's knowledge, connections and passion for wine and the industry. Lunch at Gerald's bistro in Saumur was superb as well - fresh, homemade and tasty. I highly recommend... More

We arranged a Wine Tour as a corporate event for our clients and it could not have been better organised. Both Sarah and Gérald were there to greet our 32 guests and provide a warm welcome upon arrival. The tour was relaxed, but well conducted and very informative. Gérald is extremely knowledgable and his passion for his subject most apparent.... More
