Nice Educational Tour, Buy the Wines at Home.

Terrill_C, Nov 2023

The tour was educational and fun. You learn quite a bit in a short (1 hour) amount of time. We tried 4 wines. As a US resident, I found all of the wines we tried back home for less than this wine shop was selling them in addition to the Euro exchange. And I was not given the correct receipt for the tax refund even after I asked. It turns out at the airport you need receipts with a bar code to scan. That, in addition to the price being more meant that I should've waited until I got home to buy the wines that i wouldn't have had to carefully pack in my luggage.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We genuinely appreciate your kind words about our beautiful wine cellar and our knowledgeable sommeliers. We were not aware that the wines we featured during the tour are available at your local wine shop for a lower price, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. After looking into it, we discovered that only the Moulin d’Issan from Bordeaux is available but not Domaine Zinck from Alsace nor the Rasteau from Domaine Beaurenard. It’s also worth noting that we change our selection seasonally, and starting next week our winter selection will delight your senses! We also apologize for any confusion regarding the tax receipt issue you encountered. To clarify, the duty-free benefit applies when shipping the wine, not when wine is purchased in the shop. We are working on expanding this benefit to in-store purchases as well. Thank you once again for choosing our wine tour, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Sweet wine

Patricia_C, Nov 2023

The history of how the wines began, and how they are made was very interesting. The cellar is well taken care of so to view this was a pleasure.

Beyond Wine

A wine tasting deserving of Paris.
