The Famous Monk Tour

Naturally, the Famous Monk Tour includes many different wine tastings and a few facts to give you a better understanding of the region.
Indulge in amazing picturesque scenery, excellent wine, rich history and a French lunch (with baguette!), all in the comfort of a small group with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Because after all, there’s no better way than to learn about wine than by experience!
