Fabulous trip even for ‘tea-totaler’s!’ - I had a wonderful afternoon visiting the wine groves of St Émilion with Ophorus tours.
Our guide Alice was extremely attentive and informative. Our van we travelled in was both clean & modern. It was a small intimate group which I personally loved.
I do not drink so I was hesitant of doing the trip but I really enjoyed it as I learnt about how the winery works and how people live in this beautiful region of France.
It was an absolutely fabulous day (weather wise) and after the tour of the wine works and house we were brought to the local medieval village of saint-Émilion itself and that was just magical. It really was a trip that I will not forget!
Thank you Alice!!

Wonderful Experience - Absolutely recommend doing this wine & cheese experience. The host is knowledgeable and spoke English well, and was very able to convey knowledge of the Bordeaux wine making as well as their cheeses. It is less about "pair this wine with this cheese," and more about learning best practices and what to look for in pairings, which to me helps apply it in the future. Also, they were very adamant that while this experience is about showing you some best practices for pairings, ultimately you can pair whatever wine with whatever cheese you like as long as you like it. The restaurant we went to was a cheese restaurant with over 100 cheeses too; I wish we knew earlier in our trip so we could book a meal there as well!

Enjoyable cheese and wine experience. - We had a lovely time learning about regional cheeses which were paired with appropriate wines. We had plenty of time to enjoy each cheese with a particular glass of wine. The host was knowledgeable and very friendly and his English was excellent.

Exciting Exploration! - Excellent experience. We learned so much about French wine and how to apply the information to ordering wine when you are out and/or in a wine store. Our family truly enjoyed tasting the delicious cheeses and learning how the cheese can bring the wine to life and vice versa. If you love cheese and wine, I would highly recommend this tasting.

Somewhat impersonal but did the job - I decided to do this activity at the start of a month in France, as a way to learn about some new cheeses that I could then look out for. I did taste several that I hadn’t tried before, and the wine pairing was good, so it met my objective. The service/host was ok - it definitely felt like something he did every day and just a job. No introductions between the group or personal connection. Overall it was ok but I would suggest other options would bebetter value for money and more enjoyable

Very Poor Wine Tasting Activity - These are the smallest wine tastings that we have had, three wines and mediocre at best
Cheese was good but should be as it was at a cheese restaurant
Not worth the money
Disappointed we did it
Met a nice coupe from the US but apart from that it was a poor activity
