The booking was so smooth and easy to access and we love the tasting part and bring the glasses outside next to the grape garden which is absolutely amazing !
It is a beautiful village Lude ! Def recommended ! Sabrage was also a very fun experience to try it out :)
no problem with the booking, no waiting : you can really enjoy the experience of opening your own bottle with a sword you can actually buy (I did it). Juliette was just fantastic.
absolutely recommended
