What a wonderful day

Colin is a fantastic tour guide with an amazing knowledge of Alsace and Alsatian wines. Each winery we visited with him was different, so we were able to discover the diversity of Alsatian wines, both modern and classic. Colin knows what he is talking about and what he recommends. We have already made arrangements with him for next year.

The best taste of Alsace!

If we could give Colin more than 5 stars, we would! From start to finish, there was nothing we would have changed or done differently. Communication was always on point, the vineyards Colin chose were high quality and so very kind and accommodating. Colin's knowledge of not just the wines, grapes, and terroir, but the area and history were incredible. He taught us so much in just one day! Finally, Colin goes way above and beyond. He made us lunch reservations at a fantastic restaurant, carried bags for us, and carried cases of wine to and from his vehicle. Then, the next day, he discovered we had forgotten an important package in his vehicle, so he drove 2 hours round trip, to return them to our hotel, and refused additional payment. This trip is worth way more than it's priced at! Thank you, Colin! We'll book again!

Hello Crystal, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and such kind words. It was a pleasure to be able to take such an enthusiastic and engaging couple of wine enthusiasts to the beautiful region of Alsace. I know that the wineries certainly enjoyed your passion and interest in the wines that you both sampled on our tour of Alsace. These words of encouragement mean a lot to me and I really appreciate the time you have taken to write down your thoughts. It would be wonderful to entertain both you on perhaps another wine experience in the future. Kind regards Colin Colin S. Bell WineWeinVinoVin www.wineweinvinovin.com
