Successful weekend except for the restaurant
The weekend went very well, with 2 very interesting visits to the winegrowers.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 4/5)
A very successful weekend
We had an excellent stay in the Sancerrois region. The accommodation at the prieuré Saint Agnan is exceptional, the hosts are great and the setting is perfect. As far as the tours were concerned, the one at Domaine Eric LOUIS was very interesting, but I found the reputation of the wines to be overrated, except for the Cuvée Pauline. At Domaine HUBERT-BROCHARD, on the other hand, the tasting course was perfect and the wines well worth the detour.
As for the restaurant suggestions, "Le chat" and "le coq hardi" were perfect.

GREAT WEEKEND
Everything was perfect:
- from the moment we arrived at the prieuré - an idyllic setting on the banks of the Loire, with a well-kept garden, a top-notch swimming pool (29°C despite the clouds), a cosy blue room, and top-notch breakfasts.
- a 2-hour visit to the Eric Louis estate and a fabulous wine tasting session
- visit to the goat farm, milking and tasting of different goat maturations
- dinner at CHAT
- oenology course at Domaine de BROCHARD
- gourmet lunch at Léré (a stunning dessert!)
In short, a great time, more than recommended!

A stay at the top
Two complementary wine tours, a truly charming residence to relax in and a perfect bistronomic dinner.
Sancerre is a lovely region to spend a weekend in.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 5/5)
Excellent stay
The two visits to the winegrowers were very enriching, with an excellent welcome.
Prieuré Saint Agnan, a beautiful residence, with a friendly, attentive owner.
Nothing to complain about for the dinner at Le Chat...
Additional lunch at Léré, an excellent address to remember...
Only downside: visit to the goat farm, we did not attend the milking as indicated on our description.....

Weekend Loire Valley
Very happy with our stay.
The winemakers were very welcoming and passionate about their work.
The prieuré de Saint Aignan is a charming place.
The owner is welcoming and the breakfast served is a delight. Highly recommended.
Very pleasant stay
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 5/5)
a very pleasant stay
We started at the Éric Louis estate, where Marina's explanations of wine-making were very interesting. Unfortunately, the different wines we tasted didn't convince us - a matter of taste buds!
We then visited the goat farm, where we enjoyed a wine and crottin tasting session.
The prieuré St Aignan where we stayed is a real little haven of peace with a breathtaking view of the Loire! Véronique and Gilles are charming hosts and the breakfast is delicious.
Dinner at the restaurant Le Chat, where the chef's love of cooking is evident in his dishes. An excellent culinary experience. And the place is very simple and friendly.
Last but not least, a tasting at Hubert Brochard's where we had a very pleasant experience involving all our senses. We recommend this stay.

Formidable
Everything was really perfect.
The planned visits were different but completely complementary, the menu and welcome at the restaurant "Le Chat" were top-notch, the bed and breakfast was comfortable and the owner very friendly.
In short, I give this stay a mark of 20/20.
I won't hesitate to recommend your site to my friends and family.

Excellent Stay
The visit to the Eric Louis estate was hosted by Mathilde. We congratulate Mathilde on her very clear explanations of how Sancerre wine is matured. We thank her sincerely for her pleasant approach and her smile.
Dinner at the restaurant Le Chat was a great experience, with original and refined dishes. Well done to the chef of this excellent restaurant.
The prieuré de Saint Aignan where we stayed is a magnificent residence with garden and swimming pool. The hosts are very thoughtful.
The visit to Domaine Brochart was also excellent, complementing the previous day's visit. A smiling welcome and very clear explanations for this oenology course. An excellent weekend suggested by vinotrip
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 5/5)
great weekend
We had a great stay.
The visit with Eric Louis as our Mathide guide was pleasant and full of smiles.
The only downside was the goat farm, which we visited but did not taste......
The prieuré is a true haven of peace, a magnificent residence.
The CHAT was a delight for our taste buds and a delightful experience.
The visit to Hubert Brochard's house was very instructive.
We had the chance to talk to people who were warm, pleasant and passionate about their work.
An excellent program.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 5/5)
Peaceful stay.
Le Prieuré saint Aignan is very pleasant, calm and soothing.
The goat farm is interesting.
The cellars of domaine Éric louis are very welcoming and domaine Hubert brochard a little more improvised but satisfying.

Nice discovery
We had a very pleasant stay. At the Éric Louis estate, great welcome and good tasting. La chèvrerie, super. We slept at the Prieuré st Agnan, very good welcome, the house is magnificent and breakfast was top notch. And last but not least, Domaine Hubert Brochard, great welcome and tasting. A pleasure to do again.

To sum up, if I had to rate each service: Eric Louis 5/5 (thanks Mathilde). La chèvrerie 3,5/5. Le prieuré 5/5 ( magnificent place). Le chat 4/5 ( very nice little restaurant when the weather's nice with the terrace outside). Hubert-Brochard 2,5/5 ( complicated visit with a new guide who seemed lost ).
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 5/5)
IDYLLIC STAY
The prieuré St Agnan is well worth a visit, very classy. The selected restaurants kept their promise and the cellar and goat farm visits were very well explained, with tastings on each occasion.
A stay to be recommended without a shadow of a doubt.

Very pleasant welcome from all the service providers. We particularly enjoyed discovering the Giennois hillsides.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 5/5)
Excellent stay
Excellent stay, very interesting and instructive visits for the uninitiated, not without a few humorous touches by passionate professionals, impressive equipment at LOUIS, Prieuré St-Agnan very pretty setting and spacious, comfortable gîte with a beautiful view of the Loire, very friendly owner. Super menu at LE CHAT restaurant small capacity but deserves to be praised even more. We were unable to evaluate LA GAIETE LEREENNE because our vehicle broke down and we had to leave it at the priory and take a cab home.

Oenological sancerre
Superb stay
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 4/5)
A very nice gift
A super-interesting wine tour, with Pénélope's performance at Éric Louis and Clémence's at Langlois-Château to be commended, both committed pros. Super Mesdames, thank you. The visit to the chevrerie de la tour was a little less interesting, perhaps because of a delay due to the slightly more remote access... The vinotrip formula is very nice, we'll do it again :)
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 4/5)
Very nice stay
Very good stay with very interesting visits by passionate winegrowers and farmers!
We would like to add a special mention to Vinotrip who upgraded us for the room at Prieuré St Agnan which is a superb place with very warm hosts.
Thank you!!!

We had a wonderful weekend! The organization was top-notch and the tours were very interesting, as was the tasting :) I recommend it.

PLEASANT SURPRISE
Our stay will remain a fond memory. The welcome from the various service providers was top-notch (winemakers, goat farm, overnight stays and the restaurant).
It was a WE rich in "culture" and everything was good and well served :-).
I'm thinking of going back with Vinotrip for another getaway.
I can't recommend it enough!

A superb program of high-quality discoveries. Everything was perfectly organized. A weekend we'd recommend in this beautiful region.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 5/5)
Excellent weekend
We had a wonderful weekend. The weather wasn't great, but the wineries, restaurants and accommodation selected by Vinotrip were perfect. We recommend this trip.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 5/5)
Very nice stay
A warm welcome every step of the way.
Winemakers Henri Bourgeois and Eric Louis are very helpful with explanations and tastings. It's a real pleasure to discover all these wines from a region that would benefit from being better known throughout France.
The restaurants and the priory were also great fun, and here too you'll find a warm welcome.
The chèvrevie, although interesting, is a step down in terms of service compared to the rest, but is still worth the detour.
Definitely worth a visit.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 4/5)
Great gift weekend
This gift weekend was magnificent. Excellent wine tasting at Henri Bourgeois, a visit to the Chèvrerie and a very instructive Chavignol tasting at La Tour. Dinner at the restaurant La Gaieté Léréenne was extraordinary, and the accommodation in a gite in the 1930s was breathtaking. The whole experience was rounded off by a visit to Eric Louis's cellar on Sunday, with impeccably explained explanations of wine ageing.
A wonderful weekend that I recommend to everyone.

Superb getaway in the Sancerrois region. The wineries and cheese dairy we visited were of the highest quality, with a very friendly welcome. It's also very interesting.

A stay for two
We had a great weekend! The Saint Agnan priory is a beautiful place, and the decor and garden were very pleasant. The in-room breakfast was excellent! We enjoyed an excellent dinner at the restaurant Le Chat! We rented a car for the weekend, and had a great time!

Weekend of September 14
The visits and contacts were extremely friendly, educational and full of discoveries. The room, the gîte and the owners' service were beyond reproach.
However, there's a lot to be said for the restaurant Le Coq hardi. Unheard of in this category!
3 to 4 hours waiting time, deplorable service, many customers left angry.
Too bad for a well-organized weekend.
About the restaurant, I sent you an e-mail detailing our misadventure.
