Six good friends over 40 years finally got to do the barge trip of a lifetime, after COVID 19 delaying us for 3 Octobers… Worth every moment of waiting !!
The crew, food, wine, barge, and ambiance was beyond belief. Captain Alex was a pro, Sylvain an unbelievable Chef, Nono (or Oui Oui :-), an accommodating and fun driver, and Callum a steward « extraordinaire » – All lots of fun ! Interesting and unique excursions made for some special days. Soon well be back in Colorado and going on our DIETS !!

Words can not express the gratitude we fell for you all after giving us the experience and a life time ! We truly loved every aspect of our trip – even walking the bike with a flat tire 🙂 Alex, you have assembled a » Well oiled machine » especially effective when you had to keep « herding cats »(private joke). Enjoy the rest of the season ! Cheers !

It was incredible. The crew was amazing; kind, helpful, amusing entertaining. Thank you Léa, Sylvain and Nono. Alex was a gentleman and superb host. I ‘ll always think of him dancing at the wheel as we went through the lock clearly. The wine and food was beyond expectation. Getting to know the region, life on a barge, tasting and experiencing the business of wine. So much learned and we will be cherished. Words are inadequate to express how much this trip meant to us. Our memories are full of pleasant thoughts.
