Awesome tour in Medoc - One of the best tours we’ve had! Our guide Alex was so accommodating and sooo fun to be with! He knows so much about wine as well. 5 stars to Alex! 😁 We also particularly loved Chateau Paloumey - great wines, and a our guide Stephanie was really nice as well! One for the books!

Best Wine Guides in Bordeaux - Clement and Jonathan were both amazing hosts with Bordeaux Wine Trails. We did 2 days in Medoc and 2 days in St Emillion and Pomerol. They planned our visits which were each uniques. Each a different experience focusing on different parts of the wine growing and wine making process. They got us into amazing chateaux’s, hard to get into chateaux’s, and very small family chateaux’s. They were very knowledgeable, helpful, and also flexible. Their English and communication was great as well.

The VERY best. A must do. - This wine tour is the perfect way to visit some of the most exclusive wineries in the region. After touring wineries in Napa in a private car, we expected more of the same. Not so! Our driver Jon was not just a driver - is a level 4 sommelier with a great sense of humor and wealth of knowledge of wine and food from his worldwide travels. He made our afternoon so fun as we explored the region, learned about Bordeaux wines and each other. It truly was a magical experience.
Also, this company has private tours to Saint Émilion, which we also took. Each day was different and special in its own way. These days were the highlights of our visit to Bordeaux! Truly spectacular. We look forward to returning to the region and connecting with Jon again!

A must in Bordeaux - We were greated at the meeting point by Alex a bubbly guide who was a historian / story teller/ sommelier / driver, he was exceptional knowledgable on all wine / drink related questions and was very open to helping us understand the importance and impact wine has had to Bordeaux and France. We visited 3 wineries and tasted in 2 in the final winery we were provided with a bottle of wine to wash down some cheese. The trip was very comfortable, enjoyable and informative would highly recommend.

Superb wine tour of Bordeaux with Maud - Maud is the best. She is extremely knowledgeable and very fun to be around. She taught us a lot about Bordeaux wines, vintages and the area (terroir). She made the tour interesting and educational as well as very fun.

Explore, learn and taste wine in the beautiful region of Bordeaux - An amazing way to explore, learn and taste wine in the beautiful region of Bordeaux. The tour included a visit 2 vineyard and Saint Emilion. You get plenty of red wine to taste, no white wine on this tour. The visit to Saint Emiliion was amazing. It was such a beautiful town that had many great local shops and historical buildings. We couldn't spend too much time there, but it was a good brief visit. Our guide also brought us to a great wine shop, a local deli/cheese shop, and the best view of the town. There were so many positive things I can say about this tour, but the one thing that made this spectacular and different from other wine tours I've done was our guide, Maud. She brought so much fun energy and a wealth of knowledge of wine. I learned so much about the wine in Bordeaux, what it made it unique from the rest of the wine regions, and tips on how to select wine in the store (thanks, now I don't have to go by how cute the label is :)) This was truly the highlight of my quick visit to Bordeaux and just made me want to go back ASAP to explore other regions. I 110% recommend this tour!

Nice wine tastings in Médoc - We took the trip with Alex, a young, knowledgeable and energetic wine guide. He looked after us very well and prepared a nice platter for us at the last winery to enjoy with a bottle of wine.

Expensive for what it was. Expected a little more. - Nate, the guide was great, but don’t think it was worth the price. Not appreciating that the feedback I’ve given is not considered enough! I’m taking my holiday time yo do this.

Fifth growth Grand Cru Classe Visit (lowest of the high tier) - We visited a 5th growth Grand Cru Classe (the lowest of the 1855 designations) which was a good tasting but I wish that was made known up front. We were supposed to visit Chateau Margaux for a picture but it was skipped; this was something I was looking forward to. The second winery was completely forgettable and I wish they just took us to another 1855 winery but of higher growth to compare. Not for wine aficionados, it’s more of a tour that gives you a surface level understanding of the Medoc region. Unfortunately, not many other tours are available. I understood from later groups that if you did a private tour with Bordeaux Wine Trails, they take you to a second growth winery. This is too bad because if the wine visits are cheap anyway, the cost should be marginal for them to take us to better wineries. Basically, consider the price you pay for this the cost of an Uber ride to a so-so winery, and a bonus tasting of a random small production spot.
