5Excellent wine bar tour
Excellent tour with a local guide who is a qualified sommelier. We were a group of 4. We visited 3 wine bars and shared about 4 bottles during the tour. All local region wines. At the last bar there was a generous plate of cheese and meats to share. What I like most is the knowledge the guide shares with you about this wine region, which is not well known. It is the insight that makes a trip like this so enjoyable and fun.
5Indulge and Explore while in Toulouse

5Unique spots, nuanced wines, all the 'must knows' and great conversation
The wine tour is great! Unique spots, nuanced wines, all the 'must know' information and great conversation too. All thanks to the knowledgeable and enthusiastic local guide and sommelier Julie. Who speaks English like she was native to it. The tour took us to three great spots we hadn't found on our own yet. The wines at the different location were each tasty in their own way. She explained about the different wine appellations in southern France and the differences between them and some of the history and current happenings. Including how that affects tastes. And answered all of our questions. In closing we got recommendations for food, drink and wine hotspots not just for Toulouse but also for other locations some of the tour members were traveling to next. So in closing I can definitely recommend this. The price seemed a bit high at first but more than worth it.

About Toulouse
Toulouse is the Pink City of south-west France, built of rose-red brick, with a great Romanesque basilica, a canal and a long aerospace history.
Toulouse earns its nickname, la ville rose, from the warm brick of its buildings, which glows in the evening light along the Garonne. The Basilica of Saint-Sernin, a Romanesque church begun in the eleventh century and a stage on the pilgrim road to Santiago, is one of the largest surviving Romanesque churches in Europe. The Capitole, the city hall, faces a broad square lined with cafés, and the Jacobins convent has a famous column that fans out like a palm tree.
Top-ranked sights in Toulouse: St. Sernin Basilica (Basilique Saint-Sernin) , Toulouse Cathedral (Cathedrale St-Etienne), Place du Capitole.
