“I would give this tour 6 stars if I could! Colin picked us up at our hotel in Basel at 9am and we were off to Alsace. And it was just my wife and I. We tasted at four incredible wineries and had a delicious lunch at a little restaurant in Riquewihr where Colin had made a reservation. Colin was very knowledgeable of the history of Alsace and its wines. It was also fun to see how he was warmly greeted at each winery. He is obviously welcome at each and you will be also.”

“This tour was our highlight in Zurich! Our driver-guide, Alex, was super friendly and knowledgeable. It was a cool night, but we were cozy under the lap blankets provided. Dinner was wonderful! We felt like celebrities sipping our wine as we were chauffeured around. Highly recommend. Seems a little pricey, but well worth it when compared against an ordinary restaurant steak dinner in Zurich. Fun to do something a bit unusual.”

The wine tasting and seeing the production process was very educational. Markus made entire experience fun and enjoyable. I would recommend this small group wine tour and tasting to anyone visiting Zurich. The 1 hour train ride from Zurich to Landquart was easy and you get to see some of the pretty Switzerland landscape/mountains on the train ride.”
