Our family spent 7 wonderful days at Chateau Brinon. Irene and Michael made the stay feel like we were visiting old friends. Their Knowledge of sites and wineries made our trip absolutely perfect.

The evening dinners were such a high standard that we stayed five nights and enjoyed Michael and Irene's company as well. This was a great location for exploring the... More

All of the recommendations were perfect. The Chateau is magnificent. The location is very convenient. We had a great time buying local wines, coming back to the Chateau , and sharing... More
