Roxanne was our tour guide and driver. She arrived to the meeting place on-time and took our group of 8 to a family winery. The owner of the winery talked to us about the process of wine making and showed us the fermentation tanks and bottling equipment. Next we went into the tasting room where we tasted 6 wines. Roxanne provided the translation from French to English. We drove about 30 minutes and were able to see the distant mountains and vineyards. Our second stop (maybe another 30-40 minutes) was at a wine co-op that includes 200 small vineyards. We tasted about 8 wines including a delicious Grand Cru Riesling. The tour was about 5 hours due to some slowed traffic. Roxanne was informative and friendly and our group got along well. She was able to drop us at the square which was much closer to our hotel.
