Great stay!
We had an excellent weekend! The tours are interesting and generous! The priory is magnificent and the hosts are absolutely perfect!
The only downside is that the gourmet restaurant is not very modern...
I recommend it!

exellent romantic weekend
everything was perfect. The visits to the cellars and the goat farm were very interesting, the estate and our room magnificent, and the evening restaurant delicious. The Sunday morning breakfast was just sublime and very copious: the yoghurts and jams were home-made. We loved it all.

Weekend very good
Despite a change of restaurant. Instead of a Michelin-starred restaurant, we were offered a gastro restaurant. The shopkeepers we met throughout our stay were all very pleasant!

Good formula with some nice surprises
Stay as described. Good timing & choice of locations. Highly commendable for the Prieuré gîte.
- Visit to the Eric Louis winery: very nice presentation with lots of details and full tasting.
- Chèvrerie de la Tour: nice & informative.
- Bistrot de la Côte des Monts Damnés: Good and to the point. A bit sad on Sunday evening as we were alone.
- Overnight at the magnificent Prieuré Saint-Agnan: we slept superbly. Very good breakfast and welcome. On the banks of the Loire, ideal for a jog or walk.
- Cave d'Henri Bourgeois: without a visit to the cellar, we were treated to a royal tasting!
We extended our stay with a second night at Le Prieuré, a visit to the Maison des Sancerre (fun, informative and the store is full of treasures) and two other winemakers (Alphonse Mellot in Sancerre & Pierre Prieur in Verdigny) with two extra-ordinary tastings!
A magnificent region full of riches to discover.

Magic
We had an excellent stay. The welcome at Prieuré Saint Agnan was perfect. A romantic and peaceful setting, a copious breakfast with a variety of quality home-made products.
We met a number of wine enthusiasts during our visits and tastings, as well as on our walks.
We discovered the Sancerre region and its landscapes, made magical by the snow and sunshine.
We look forward to returning.

Sancerre
Very good stay, too short, only one night in Cosne, but everywhere welcoming, professional, smiling people, that's important.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 4/5)
Awesome!
Visits to the cellars are superbly enjoyable, with friendly, enthusiastic and passionate staff.
Le Prieuré is a charming guest house, beautifully decorated and very well located.
The restaurant is brilliant, offering atypical combinations of tastes.
I recommend this stay, which allows you to visit this beautiful region through its vineyards, its gastronomy and its warm-hearted inhabitants.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 5/5)
Wonderful stay
We had a superb time discovering the wines of Sancerre and its neighbors. Visits to the estates and the farm were exotic and highly instructive.
Le Prieuré is a true haven of peace, in a magnificent setting with a direct view of the garden and the Loire.
The only downside to this stay was the location of the Saturday evening restaurant. It's a shame to have to drive there, because after the tastings in the afternoon, during which we had to restrict ourselves, all we wanted to do was fully appreciate the wine list.

Wonderful stay
It was with great pleasure that we discovered this superb region through the stay proposed by vinotrip. Each visit allowed us to appreciate different facets of the Sancerre terroir, and to meet people who are passionate about their work. The way we were organized made it easy to take our time at each place and chat with our hosts. A very successful stay, with good choices of visits in every respect.

Escapade in the Sancerrois region as described. We were made to feel very welcome in every place. Magnificent and very welcoming chambre d'hôte. The program is packed but well worth the trip.

Enjoy your stay
Good stay and quality services.
The only difficulty is that the activities are very close together and some of them vary in length (e.g. gourmet restaurant, 2h15), which can cause delays in the rest of the program.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 4/5)
Excellent stay
A pleasant and very interesting stay.
The two days were exactly as described in the program.
Both restaurants were excellent. We received an excellent welcome from all the service providers, with a special mention for the hosts at the Prieuré Saint Agnan: a charming place that I highly recommend.

Excellent stay
The stay was very pleasant and interesting.
As mentioned in a previous comment, the program is not necessarily as described. As much as the first day was exactly as described, the second was not: we had lunch at the gourmet restaurant at noon, then tasted the wines of a domaine in the afternoon. But I suppose that depends on the availability of the various estates, which I can understand.
Vinotrip beware of the time lapse between activities, we had two hours for lunch on Sunday before heading to the wine tasting venue, and it was only fair we should have had half an hour more.
Both restaurants were excellent, the visit to the first estate extremely interesting, and we received a very warm welcome at the prieuré Saint-Agnan, which is a very beautiful place.
(Wine weekend in Sancerre - Note : 4/5)
Very interesting
A very pleasant stay, but beware: the services don't quite live up to the description (we didn't visit Domaine Vacheron and therefore didn't taste any biodynamic wines).
We received an excellent welcome from all the service providers, with a special mention for the hosts of the Prieuré Saint Agnan: a charming place that I highly recommend.
The restaurant is also very friendly, with an original market menu and an exceptional wine list.

Superb weekend
We loved our weekend discovering a region we were unfamiliar with. I wish we'd known that the tours were in groups. The hotel is incredible, with a large charming room and comfortable bedding. The restaurants were very good.
