12/10 would recommend - This tour was absolutely incredible! Jonathan’s depth of knowledge about wine is impressive, but what truly sets him apart is how he shares it in such a fun and engaging way. His passion for wine shines through in every conversation, and I really appreciated all the insights he shared between visits to the châteaux. Jonathan is genuinely committed to making sure you get the most out of your experience—he encouraged questions, and even went the extra mile to help me track down a vintage from my birth year, which was such a thoughtful touch.
He truly exceeded all expectations, and I couldn’t imagine a better guide to explore the exceptional wines and wineries of Bordeaux. Whether you're traveling solo or with others, book this tour—it’s absolutely worth it!

Exceptional Bordeaux Tour - John and the Bordeaux Wine Trails team are excellent. I highly recommend using them for tours when in Bordeaux. My family and I spent three days with the team while in Bordeaux and they provided excellent information and service. The Bordeaux Full Day Wine Tour was a great mix of wineries and tastings. It was a lot of fun thanks to John and very informative. Exactly what we were looking for!

Absolutely Amazing Experience - We had the best time ever with Bordeaux Wine Trails. Our guide Jonathan was so knowledgeable and very entertaining. This was not your generic set of tours, as he personally helped curate everything to ensure that we had a great time. Our guide was a sommelier to boot, so he was able to answer all questions with a true expertise. We would highly recommend this tour (or any other with Bordeaux Wine Trails) to anyone!

Pleasant day in Bordeaux wine country - Jonathon was great, lunch was authentic and nice selection of wines. The wines are almost exclusively red and a bit heavy for people who prefer whites.

La vie est belle in Bordeaux - We had a wonderful time with our guide Jon in Saint-Émilion. Everything was perfect, and the wines were just incredible. We strongly recommend this company if you're in Bordeaux—this was the highlight of our trip to France. You can also book directly on their website; communication was very smooth. Merci! 🍷

Great way to spend a day! - Jon gave us a wonderful tour by van from Bordeaux to St. Emilion and back. The tour exceeded our expectations and each of the three vineyards we visited were incredibly hospitable. The wine was excellent and can be shipped to the US. Thank you to the wonderful staff at Chateau Carbonnieux, Chateau Grangey, and Chateau le Chatelet for your kindness! Thank you also to Jon for the great tour and an awesome last day in Bordeaux!

Fun and Educational Wine Tasting Day! - My friends and I had a most wonderful day with Jonathan as our guide. We went to three gorgeous wineries where we were treated to a tour and tastings. The lunch included on the second stop was absolutely delicious. We also stopped for an excursion in St. Emillion. Jonathan is incredibly knowledgeable on wines (in general), but also all that the Bordeaux region has to offer. He’s a great host - 10 out of 10 highly recommend! We did the full day tour. Started at 9 and ended at 5.

Excellent experience with Alex - We had a great time with Alex! He was super knowledgeable and we learned a lot throughout the trip. None of us were wine connoisseurs, but Alex made sure that we had a good time and didn’t feel out of place.
