Best Wine Experience I've Had! - From the vine-covered rolling hills to the meticulous vineyard rows, our half-day trip to Saint-Émilion from Bordeaux was nothing short of spectacular. A key highlight of this tour was our guide, Mario, whose expertise as a sommelier deeply enriched our experience. As an Italian native, Mario not only brought a passionate flair to his guidance but also shared intricate details about the winemaking process that were both enlightening and engaging. The tour began with a scenic drive from Bordeaux to Saint-Émilion, during which Mario entertained us with fascinating stories and facts about the region's history and viticulture. Upon arrival, we visited a charming, family-run winery where we were walked through the vineyards and cellars. Mario's knowledge was invaluable, as he explained the unique qualities of the terroir and how they translate into the flavor and structure of the wine. The wine tasting session itself was a delightful experience. With Mario's sommelier insights, we learned to identify subtle notes and aromas in the wines, which enhanced our appreciation significantly. The selection included superb examples of what makes Saint-Émilion such a revered wine-producing area. Overall, this tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Bordeaux. The combination of stunning landscapes, insightful commentary, and exquisite wines makes for an unforgettable experience. Mario’s professional yet personable approach as a guide will undoubtedly enhance your visit, making this tour highly recommendable for both wine aficionados and novices alike.

Perfecto afternoon in Bordeaux - It’s hard to describe highlights for this trip, as there were nothing but… Our tour guide Maud was spectacular and extremely knowledgeable about the wine, the region, the Château and everything else we had questions about in StEmillion. Probably the best overall tour of anything we’ve taken – don’t miss this! It’s magical!

History and wine to remember - On top of a hill, Saint Emilion is a beautiful village, a gift to my eyes: magnificent ancient churches, small cobblestone streets, old towers and walls. One could admire a medieval town that attracted pilgrims for hundreds of years, The wine making and dégustation were excellent. I tasted several wonderful red and rosé wines. Our guide was personable and knew well the history and wine business in the area.

Tour not a Tasting - Our guide / driver Carol was knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoyed learning about the differences in left bank / right bank vineyards and the extensive appellation structure. St Emilion is adorable and so historic. Particularly enjoyed learning about the monolithic cathedral. The tasting itself was disappointing compared to tasting tours I have done in Porto and Tuscany. We had three merlots, three different years and one Rose. We were not allowed to enjoy a glass of our favorite after the tasting, despite the bottles still being half full. WTH. Seemed incredibly cheap of the Chateau
