Geoffrey our guide was an amazing host to us and so knowledgeable! We loved the wineries and the selections we were given, especially the lovely snack we enjoyed with Geoffrey and another couple. The town of St. Emillion was breathtaking and very much worth the short drive. We also loved how we had some time to explore solo for a bit. Thank you for the amazing time!
Informative and casual; Gaspard was a friendly and laid back guide
Excellent tour, very well paces, informative and entertaining. Excellent guide Gaspard.
We were met by Gaspard and 6 other people, straight away into the first vineyard and had a great time tasting the verity of different wines of the region. Then a very informative tour of Saint Emilion by Gaspard, then a browse around the town then onto the second vineyard. Gaspard was extremely helpful with other members of the group helping there needs on steep inclines. The second yard was run by Yanick a real nice guy. A great afternoon meeting some lovely people for the first time and Gaspard making it all happen, he was extremely professional and respectful at all times thank you Gaspard. G Birss
Fantastic afternoon with Gaspard. Very informative and lots of fun. Definitely recommend this to anyone.
Thoroughly enjoyed this afternoon with Nicolas. We had such a nice group of people and were immediately put at ease by our host Nicolas. He was very welcoming, knowledgeable about the wine industry and Bordeaux. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Both the vineyards we visited were excellent ways to learn and understand about this rich wine making area of Bordeaux. The hosts in both vineyards were excellent at explaining the process of wine making in Bordeaux and answered all our questions very well. 5 star all round. Thank you Nicolas!

Nicolas was awesome. Very well organized tour. Definitely recommend for anyone
Amazing day. Learned so much about wine. Got to try so many lovely wines. Nicolas was an incredible guide. So much fun. Really highly recommend.
We had a great experience with Alex! He was funny, knowledgeable and attentive. The 2 wineries we attended were small production and places I would not have found with a quick Google search. Both produced organic wines, which was important and interesting to me. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area! ...and they pick you up in the city center near the tourist center--easy.

Sharing hidden gems that you might not easily find on your own is exactly what we love to offer our guests. Thank you for your recommendation and for mentioning how easy it was to join the tour Bordeaux Wine Trails
