Great wine, great guide, great company. - The walk through St Emilion was amazing. Maude was a terrific knowledgeable guide. She introduced us a local wine merchant, a jam maker and a charcuterie merchant.

Awesome experience! - Clemont took us around a couple chateaus and Saint Emilion, he was a very great guide and a very enjoyable experience! I went with my brother and you get a solid amount of wine to taste with a bunch of interesting information about making wine and it’s a fun time, would definitely recommend to people visiting Bordeaux.

Exceeded our expectations… - A delightful tour even with the inclement weather. Our guide, Mel, was very informative and personable. Transportation was comfortable, and the visit to the two wineries and the village of St. Emilion, in particular, were worthwhile stop-overs. Highly recommend.

You'll miss out not going on this tour - Mel was such a fun, informative and great guide. My husband and I had the best experience. We firstly visited a winery to look at the production process and then tried 4 wines. This was followed by a guided tour of St Emillion and Mel shared really interesting details about the town and the church and how that came about. Then finished off with another winery visit where we tasted food and wine, and had a lovely chat with the hosts. Overall I'd go again any day. I can't fault any part of the experience. Additionally, Mel gave us lots of recommendations for food and wine in Bordeaux which was much appreciated.
