This was an incredible opportunity to enjoy French wine, immerse in culture and have a unique lunch in the middle of a vineyard! We had 4 children under the age of 8 and Rachel and Debbie could not have been more accommodating. Our day included a treasure hunt for the children, a boat tour, lunch in a winery, an incredible tasting, very knowledgeable tour hosts and a small but luxurious respite for all the parents.

We had an absolutely brilliant time doing the Malapere-Limoux tour with Rachel and Kate. This is actually our second time doing this tour as we enjoyed it so much. Rachel was very knowledgeable and taught us lots about wine on the way too and from the two vineyards. Kate was very informative and knows everything about wine! Definitely recommend to anyone considering a wine tour.

We had the immense pleasure of a guided tour with Rachel and Kate through two stunningly unique vineyards. The experience far exceeded our expectations, providing us with a rich and informative lesson on the intricacies of winemaking and the local wine region. Our group of 11 had an absolutely brilliant afternoon. Thank you!

We were delighted with our two private tours arranged through Vin en Vacances. The communication and helpful planning information was excellent. The owner, Wendy offers vacationers the flexibility to customize their excursions to exact specifications. She also helped navigate some payment problems
Our driver/tour guides Rachel (from Barcelona to Narbonne) and Carlos ( from Carcassonne to Barcelona) were good company and did their best to entertain us and cater to our needs. We especially enjoyed the winery tour and tasting, as well as the lunch and city tour of Gerona, that Carlos organized. Everything was superb.
The only issue that developed over two separate, full day trips was a wine tasting that was arranged for us in Colluire at the Dominicain tasting room. The winery manager was very rude to our party when we tried to use their private restroom... even after making purchases, he demanded that we use the public toilet down the street! This was a awkward and uncomfortable moment for Rachel and should never have happened. Perhaps it was just one disgruntled employee who spoiled the visit to the tasting room. I'll assume that Vin en Vacances lodged a complaint with the winery and, in the future, take guests to venues with more accommodating people. I also think that other wineries near Colluire were far more attractive, located on vineyard property and would have been a better selection. That said, everything else about our experience with Vin en Vacances was exceptional and that we would use or recommend their services, again.

I am so sorry the winery was rude to you. We have indeed lodged a complaint. It is the first time in all the years we have ran that tour that this has happened so I think you're right, the employee must have had a bad day.
Thank you so much for choosing Vin en Vacances and if you ever pass this way ag ain please do get in touch. Best wishes Wendy

I had an ideal day trip from Carcassonne in mind, and Wine en Vacances made it happen! Other operators had said it would take too long, or would keep us looking out of van windows all day. By chance, we ended up with a semi-private tour with two guides, both very wine-knowledgeable. Wine tasting was a nice surprise for quality and showed how region is getting more individualistic, creative, and craft-oriented vs mass production.
But the biggie for us was the castles—we wanted to go to two and have time to hike and scramble around, and we did! Went up to Queribus and Peyrepertuse. Lunch in Cucugnan was great if a little slow for service, typical country town dealing with tourists (have worked in similar settings, so I’m tolerant of what we called “surfer service”). This in itself is a pretty basic tour itinerary, but I found it hard to find anyone who would actually come thru with it! Yep, very expensive, but figure in high price of gas, full menu relaxed outdoor restaurant lunch with wine, and hours of expert driving over one-lane mountain switchbacks and medieval villages, and it was so worth it.

Thank you for taking the time to write the review. We are delighted you enjoyed the day and got to see the castles you so wanted to visit. The restaurant is usually far better but I understand it has changed hands and that was the first time we had been there since that happened. We will try to find a better one so thank you for that feedback. If you pass this way again we would love to take you on another tour, you are absolutely right about the wine quality improving, gone are the days of quantity of quality down here..!

This was our third company senior management trip organised by Vin en Vacances, and certainly the best yet, they'd pulled out all the stops! While wine tasting was at the fore, of course, we also had a watercolour lesson (which we were all nervous about but loved), quad biking (again, some were dreading but all were on a high by the end), a tapas cookery lesson with Yves (chaotic but great fun and delicious!), and of course some great meals and wine along the way. (And yes, we did some work as well.) Our guide Rachel was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating, and the whole trip exceeded our expectations. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Rachel picked us up at our hotel for a true 8 hour tour. We enjoyed seeing two distinct wineries; one small, high end, the other a larger bigger production. Both visits were not rushed, we sampled 6 wines at each. The history and explanation of the various varietals enhanced our visit. We also were treated to a lunch that was included in the package. It was terrific and well worth our time. Our guide Rachel encourage us to ask questions, she was great and informative, a real plus.

We were thrilled with our experiences with Kate! We visited two family Vinyards and had a private wine tasting at our holiday home in Carcassone.
Unforgettable experience. We enjoyed meeting the Vinyard owners, the tastings and learning about the process and the history.
The wine tasting at our home was incredible. Kate remembered a style of wine that we
enjoyed, and thoughtfully included it in our tasting.
Kate is so much fun, we felt as if we had known her forever. Her knowledge about wine
and the region was extraordinary.
Her bubbly personality made each experience one we will never forget.
Ask for Kate! Highly recommend this company. Total professionals.
Thank you, Kate!

We spent the most wonderful four days touring Provence with Wendy. Each day offered up an amazing visit to a brocante/antiques market/flea market, followed by trips touring the vineyards and wine tasting. Wendy's knowledge of the region, the markets and the wine industry is exceptional and she was extremely generous with sharing information, advice and tips. We can't wait to do it again ... next stop Bordeaux. Anna

We had a fabulous day with Rachel who looked after us for the day. The weather was not kind to us but it didn't spoil the day.
We all learnt so much about the region and wine making in general.
We also visited an olive cooperative which was fascinating and included a tasting of olives and oil. This was followed by an hour on the Canal du Midi with local wines, a lovely local lunch and a trip to Minerve. The day was rounded off with a tour to an amazing chateau estate vineyard with a unique growing methodology and another wine tasting. A fun filled day enjoyed by us all.

Hi, I’m looking at booking the Canal du Midi olive oil/ wine tasting/ lunch trip for 4 of us on 5th Sept as it’s our friends 40th wedding anniversary. I was wondering if when it says transport provided, does that mean pick up and return to where we are staying?
We are renting in Lagrasse.
Thanks in advance
كُتب بتاريخ 17 يناير 2020
Hi, thank you for enquiring about the Canal du Midi tour. If you book a Private tour we will pick you up from Lagrasse and the tour will begin from there. If you prefer to join other people on a scheduled tour they start from Carcassonne however as the guide lives in Lagrasse it would be possible to collect you from Lagrasse but you would go to Carcassonne to collect the other passengers before starting the tour. The same would happen on the way back as we would need to drop people back in Carcassonne before taking you back to Lagrasse. This adds nearly 2 hours to the day so you may prefer to book a private tour. I hope that helps but please do not hesitate to ask me further questions if you need to. Thank you Wendy

Hi, my partner and I will be visiting Carcassonne from Monday 04/06 until Thursday 07/06. We would love to do a wine tour on the Tuesday or Wednesday if there are any spots available? My partner really likes goats and I see that sometimes a goat farm is included in a wine tour. Please can you let me know the possibilities of this?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Rolff. I sent you an email with this information in response to your request. Perhaps it did not arrive or went in your spam. I have sent it again just now and have detailed it below but the links will not work on this method so please look out for the email.
Thank you for enquiring about the vineyard tours we run in the Languedoc. I would be delighted to arrange a tour for you whilst you are cruising along the Canal du Midi in June. We are based close to Carcassonne so I calculate that you will be passing through our area during June 8th, 9th and 10th and I can offer you the following tours on those dates:
Friday June 8th Domaine Gayda & Limoux
Saturday June 9th - Corbières Vineyard Tour
Sunday June 10th - Minervois & Saint-Chinian Market
Please follow the links to each itinerary which describes the tour and you will also see the price which is €135 per person which includes pickup and transport from your mooring on the canal, our expert and very entertaining wine guide, the visits and tastings and a delicious lunch with wine.
I hope one of these tours and dates will be of interest and I look forward to hearing from you again soon.,
Best wishes
Wendy
