Very good stay as a couple
Le Clos de la Tuilière is an excellent guest house. The visits to the estates were of a high standard and carried out by passionate professionals. One of our visits was a private lesson (more appreciable than the other visit, which was with a group of a dozen people). Hence one star less. A map of each meeting place in the itinerary would be appreciated. The estates have many buildings at the same address.

To discover
Perfectly organized, warm accommodation, very well received overall, it's a shame we didn't have a driver for the visits, the wineries are a bit far away...but worth discovering!

Stay from May 26 to 28, 2017
I was very satisfied with the restaurants and the visit to the three wineries. On the other hand, I found that the B&B was a little far from the visits. Finally, I found that two substantial meals in one day were a lot, so I didn't enjoy the evening meal as much. But overall, it was a very pleasant stay. The choice of restaurants was very good, and the wineries gave us complete satisfaction. We were very well received everywhere.
Thank you for your excellent organization. Best regards,
