Fantastic tour guide who talked to us the entire trip even while she was driving us to and fro. She was extremely informative and had a rich background. The actual wine tasting was not long and then we had approximately 30 min in Saint Emilion to explore the town on our own.
We visited a small chateau about an hour from Bordeaux. During the van ride, our knowledgeable tour guide kept us entertained the entire time. We tasted four great wines, learned about the process of making wine, and on our way home, explored a lovely town called Saint-Emilion where we did a little shopping and had some sorbet. Overall, it was a lovely four-hour afternoon excursion!
We didn't leave on time because one person in the group didn't show up. But our guide and driver, Guy, took the time to give us a comprehensive overview of the wines, family vineyards, and history during our pleasant ride to St. Emilion. The walk was short, but the wine tasting at Chateau Bellevue was worth it.
Nice tour and very kind guide with lots of knowledge. The wine tasting was interesting but nothing real great. Good talks around history and wine making
Oscar was a great guide, knowledgeable and fun. Half a day goes fast but the experience was worth it.
Very interesting trip. Our guide Dulce was so friendly and knowledgeable, she made the afternoon perfect.
Impeccable! Dulce is a wonderful guide! The landscape is very beautiful and the entire experience went very well.
Great experience Lea was amazing, lots of knowledge and entertaining even in the van there and back.
Smaller group and good atmosphere. Everything went well. Tasted interesting and good wine.
The guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. The wine was amazing would have loved to visit a second wine farm not just one and the little town super cute.
