Testimonials

They Lived the Lamothe-Bergeron Experience

“An exceptional visit! Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Her English was perfect. The tour is very well organised with a few pleasant surprises. I recommend Château Lamothe-Bergeron to anyone looking for a wine tour and tasting!”

— Visitor on Rue des Vignerons, December 2024

“We really enjoyed the food & wine pairing during our tasting. During the visit we tasted Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which made the differences in the wines stand out. During the tasting, small bites (cheese, meat and chocolate) were served to highlight the aromas and flavours of the wines. We learned a lot during this Sommelier Tour and appreciated the educational aspect. One of the best lessons was the impact of oxygen on young wines.”

— Caitlin, Sommelier Tour, December 2024

“We loved our visit to this château. We had a great tour and tasting, and also chose the picnic lunch. It was fantastic and excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this visit.”
