About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Handleystuart0 contributionsFull day private wine tastingWe had a full day private tour of Chablis with Marie and it was fabulous. Marie was extremely knowledgeable and took time to show us around the Vineyards as well as plenty of wine tasting. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys tasing different kinds of wines and exploring Chablis.Written June 12, 2024
- Oscar H0 contributionsThe perfect tour of ChablisMarie-Jo's tour of Chablis exceeded every expectation. She is not some outsider: she is a local, a family member of a Chablis domaine, and a popular member of the local wine growing community. Anywhere we went, even on the streets, everyone knew her. This is what sets the tour apart: an authentic connection to Chablis with knowledge you can only gain from being a part of the viticulture fraternity your entire life. Combined with a wonderful sense of humour and patience for our questions, the tour we got was the perfect centrepiece for our trip. She will happily tailor the tour to your specific interests, although newcomers should note that while Marie-Jo can work magic, she can't work miracles and take you to small, famous domaines that simply don't accept public visitors. On our tour we not only visited a variety of domaines within Chablis (including her own and William Fevre) and the Chablisienne cooperative (who all clearly offered us much more generous tastings than the other tours alongside us in both quality and quantity), we also dipped outside of Chablis village into neighbouring areas and tasted wines we might not necessarily have thought of before but will certainly remember for outstanding quality and value for money. To top it all off, Marie-Jo drove us to Auxerre to the best wine shop for miles so we could tick off some bucket list purchases, and helped liaise and translate with the shop owner. Altogether, we couldn't have hoped for more, and armed with the knowledge Marie-Jo shared with us, really got the most out of the remainder of our trip to Chablis.Written November 12, 2023
- Ggeiss0 contributionsA lovely wine tourFrom the moment Marie picked us up we were informed about the wine region we were visiting. Part of a multi generational family Marie has been raised around wine production and it showed. She was informative and explained everything in a way we all understood. We saw the vineyards and learned about the positioning of the different vines which made different types of chablis. A lovely afternoon. We all agreedWritten October 4, 2023
- Stumpy3080 contributionsThe best of Chablis!An awesome day of Chablis wine knowledge and tastings. Marie Jo is both excellent and relaxed host as well as an ambassador for her hometown of Chablis. The day was generous in every respect. Thank you !Written September 20, 2023
- PeteC19510 contributionsHighly recommendedEnjoyed a full day tour. It was a brilliant experiece thanks to my guide Marie Jo who comes from a wine producing family so not only knows as much about wine and Chablis as you will ever need to know but seems to know everyone else Chablis who were able to fill in any gaps! All the practical arrangements such as pick up and lunch worked perfectly as did the tastings.Written June 13, 2023
- PJC51_110 contributionsHighly RecommendedExcellent tour. Marie Jo has the local contacts and knowledge to provide a great insight into the wines of Chablis and surrounding area. All of the practical arrangements such as pick up, lunch and access to producers were first class.Written June 11, 2023
- N9797HFheidih0 contributionsMade our day in ChablisWe had a great stay in Chablis, much thanks to Vititours and Marie. We did the half day tour and it was excellent. Marie is seems to know everything there is to know about wine in Chablis, so the tour was very interesting and fun. We tasted more wines than we anticipated. The service went beyond what was expected when she also helped us book a great restaurant for our stay in Chablis. Recommend!Written April 24, 2023
- JDJS1230 contributionsGreat tour of the Chablis regionExcellent tour - Franck was a very knowledgeable guide with lots of good contacts in the region. We felt we gained a real insight into the vineyards and wines of Chablis. A really fabulous day.Written May 19, 2022
- Dan G0 contributionsSunshine and Chablis!A beautiful sunny afternoon spent with Franck learning all about the wines of Chablis. The knowledge was so in-depth. Perfect for a wine nerd like me! Got to taste some independent wines and some older millésimes at the Co-operative. All in all a fabulous experience. Thank you!Written May 17, 2022
- 403martienw0 contributionsGreat wines, interesting tour!We had a wonderful time in the tour, one of the best things we did on our holiday! Franck was really interesting, we enjoyed our vertical tasting and seeing the vines. Accessible for people like me who don't know much about wine, but sure there'd be stuff for experts too!Written April 24, 2022
- Tourist057746507060 contributionsFantastique ! Wort a trip !We can really recommend Vititours in Chablis. Franck is an execellent guide and very knowledgeable. He knows everything there is to know about Chablis. He’s very french with a good sense of humor and speeks very good English. We will highly recomend him. Even though he doesn’t have tours an a sunday he made en exception for us and we are so greatful for that. This made our trip to France unforgetable.Written March 29, 2022
- Elisia personal L0 contributionsFantastic TourHands down one of the best wine tours we’ve ever done. We started the day with a good basic understanding of Chablis and finished with deep appreciation for how the wine is made and all things Chablis. Franck was guided us through a lovely day in the vineyards, private small winery tours, historic cellars and lovely conversations. He recommended a fantastic lunch and even helped with dinner reservations. My only complaint is that we don’t get to spend more time in Chablis with Franck. Do yourself a favor and book a tour, you won’t regret it!Written February 19, 2022
- TooFrequentTraveller0 contributionsFranck is the best! Also with wine connoisseurs! Great exploration of Chablis!Excellent excursion with Vititours and Franck! Don't miss it when in the region. You'll learn a lot that will help understand the region that you won't learn with just hopping from winery to winery. We were a group of 6 (family & friends) and reasonable knowledgeable about wines. Chablis is one of our favorites. Franck expertly shared interesting insights and knowledge even with connoisseurs from his 2 decades in the Chablis, and his experience from having tended the vines and participated in harvests himself. Our group (from Germany, US, NewZealand) spoke French and English - Franck was willing to do either, and we chose to have the explanations in French, and technical terminology in English. An absolute delight to plan and tour with Franck. Will do it again next time when in the Chablis with other friends. Of note is how accommodating and quick Franck was in our communication. Suggest to be ready to use WhatsApp. We only had the day after the Christmas Holiday for the visit. He made that available on short notice, and when almost all vineries were closed in between the holidays, he got the key to the cave from one of very nice wineries and manned the tasting himself! Vititours' web page suggests 2-3 hours ... unless you are rushed for a reason, you should plan on 3 hours, and then a nice lunch or dinner in Chablis! Enjoy!Written January 30, 2022
- JohantheHague0 contributionsFantastic wine tour in the beautifaul area around Chablis, don't miss it!This is a fabulous way to discover everything about wine in Chablis. Our guide Franck told us many things and made us taste some great wines at different wineries in the village and its surroundings. We learned of the different areas and wine types and the history and fine art of wine making. Franck was completely flexible and he seems to know everyone in Chablis. He managed to get us a late booking at a really good restaurant as well and managed to arrange an ad-hoc wine tasting at a winery where they produce a wine we really liked. All in all a great tour and something we very highly recommend to everyone who has 1 or 2 days to spend in Chablis.Written September 6, 2021
- LaurenJillMac0 contributionsDon't hesitate to book this!Could not recommend this experience more! Franck was knowledgable and passionate about everything from the wine, to the grapes, to the history of the vineyards. I was not very familiar with Chablis but he has definitely changed my palette and now I seek out a delicious chablis- especially with oysters! We were little worried about doing a partially outdoor tour in January; however, it was the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor and was actually quite pleasant. Do yourself a favor and book this tour! Thanks again Franck!Written August 24, 2021

We spent an extraordinary afternoon in the company of our passionate and fascinating guide! Via very educational and concrete explanations, Marie-Jo allowed us to understand why Chablis wines are so famous and how they are made. We tasted around fifteen wines carefully chosen and very representative of the local heritage. A real joy ! A very nice little extra: Marie-Jo comes to pick us up and takes us back to our hotel... which is extremely nice after this tasting. We highly recommend!

We recently explored 4 wine regions in France and can confidently say our tour of the Chablis region with Marie jo was far and away the very best experience! Her extensive knowledge of wine, wine production and the region coupled with her lovely energy and sharp sense of humour made for a fantastic day together. She took us to a wonderful selection of small producers (including her family vineyard), chose a charming spot of us to have lunch and shared so much information with us about this area of France. It was extra special to be here during the harvest and get so much close up access to the harvesting and production of these wonderful wines. I highly (highly) recommend Marie jo and Vititours.

We had a fantastic half-day wine tour in Chablis! Marie was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of her way to accommodate us on short notice. We were impressed by her expertise and passion for wine. The highlight was receiving a thoughtful wine gift at the end of the tour. A wonderful experience overall!

We were in Chais for a few days, and loved spending our afternoon with Mary Jo!
She was knowledgeable, has a fascinating background, and was a great guide, telling us the story of Chablis wine as well as a few of the wineries that we went to.
We would recommend, especially if you don’t have the time for a full day tour. We felt she covered a tremendous amount in our few days there.

What a wonderful day! Marie picked us up in Auxerre for the full day tour. We started with some information and background in the vineyards with a view over Chablis before heading to our first tasting. It was great to get some knowledge before trying several different Chablis side by side where you can really get a feel for the different terroir flavours. Lunch was great before we moved onto the museum, and then many more tastings. Marie was excellent and very knowledgeable, and allowed us to tailor the places to go (we preferred the smaller, family vineyards as opposed to famous ones). It was a very long day with a lot of tastings, even finishing with some reds (not so common in the area!). Highly recommended!

We had a private one-day tour with Marie. It was a well-organised, informative and pleasant experience. We visited some vineyards and cellars, as well as the museum. Tasted different types of Chablis at 4 locations, learnt a lot about the region and wine and had a great lunch (thanks to Marie’s recommendation). Everything went smoothly. We are very happy to find Marie and highly recommend the private tour with her!

Talk about a once in a lifetime experience! This private tour was incredible. We toured the actual vineyards, getting the lay of the land of the entire town of Chablis as well as pinpoint precision of the slopes differentiating between Petit, Premier Cru, Grand Cru etc.. I felt like part of the family on grounds at the vineyard and more so when we tasted everything they had to offer. If you are going to Chablis, look no further. This is the one you want.
