tasting in the Gers
Excellent stay, excellent welcome from our hosts at the Cour des Saligues, at the restaurant in Riscles and in the various local armagnac and wine tasting cellars, as well as at the wild boar farm. Delicious meals and sublime tastings!
One small drawback: the time between the 11am tasting at Domaine de Laougué and the 12:30pm meal at Ferme des Sangliers was too short. 1 hour more would have been necessary!
We were delighted with our stay and look forward to returning to the region.

Oenological stay
We had an excellent stay. Everything was perfect at the Cour des Salines, with very welcoming and friendly hosts. Breakfast was copious and the meal simple, homemade with very good fresh produce. The BR was also very welcoming and the owner very friendly: the meal was also excellent. We didn't enjoy the ferme aux cerfs (restaurant) as much and unfortunately we couldn't visit the farm because of the rain. Superb visits to Armagnac and wine producers, with explanations from passionate people. To be repeated in the future.

Weekend in the Gers
An excellent welcome from everyone who took part in this Vinotrip, whether at the La cour des saligues B&B, where Michael was attentive to his guests, or in the nearby restaurants.
As for the winemakers who welcomed us, each and every one of them conveyed the passion for the vine that is needed to produce excellent wines and spirits.
In a single word PERFECT weekend

Have a nice weekend
Great weekend. Great visits to producers and winemakers. Impeccable guest rooms. Le BR and le Pigeonnier are two excellent restaurants where the kindness and welcome of the owners are second to none. La ferme aux cerf et aux sangliers (stag and wild boar farm) is great, with a visit to the animals after the meal to help your digestion. Super weekend that we recommend.

Discover the Gers
We had a great weekend. The winegrowers who welcomed us were very interesting.
We tasted armagnac, floc and madiran. The restaurants chosen by Vinotrip were also very good. The owner of the BR opposite the chambre d'hôte was great, as was his waitress - many thanks for your welcome. The chambre d'hôte was impeccable, and the owners super. La ferme des cerfs (the deer farm), where we had a good meal and a visit to the animals helped us to digest. A small downside for the Pont d'Arcole restaurant: the lighting was too dim, so we couldn't really see what we were eating. When we had free time, we visited the surrounding area.

Armagnac discovery
Excellent stay, the winegrowers all welcomed us with pleasure, taking the time to show us their terroir, their working methods, their passion...a real pleasure. Not too far apart, we enjoyed the diversity of the wines on offer at every meeting: Armagnac, Pacherenc, Madiran... a small point for improvement: it would be nice to know the distance and travel time between each visit, so that we could plan accordingly. We will not hesitate to try again and recommend Vinotrip.
