Can't decide between excursions.

Day 9 of Savoring France. We can't decide between the wine tasting tour or the chocolate truffle class. Any comments would be helpful.

    I'd definitely do the chocolate truffle class. I'm not much on alcohol but I love chocolate.

    I never pass up a wine tasting opportunity, especially in France. This was one of our favorite tours. Enjoy.

    Just looked at day nine on the website. It sounds like the wine and chocolate are combined and the hike is the second option. Unless the schedule/choices have changed

    I looked at the itinerary to refresh my memory. We rode a little trolley around the vineyard either before or after the wine tasting, probably before. The views of the villages below were so beautiful.

    I don’t think you can go wrong with either excursion, but I leave chocolate tasting to Switzerland and Belgium.

    We did the wine tour on that trip. The little trolley through the vineyards was great, but the wine was not great. We were not offered a chocolate option in 2022. However, you should get some local wineries coming on board the ship for tastings. If you do have a visit from CHENEN BLEU their wines are wonderful!!! We bought some and shipped them back home. This is one of my favorite trips. Enjoy!

    It’s not so much the wine tasting itself but the venue and where it is located that makes the experience so special for us…the hills of Tuscany…the Douro valley…the south of France…….

    I vote for the truffles.
