Tour journée à Saint Emilion: Balade vins et saveurs

An hours drive from Bordeaux in a vehicle carrying 8 of us, was a good way for us all to get to know each other before the tour. along with our Fri er & guide, Silvie, who was very knowledgeable, friendly & good company. We enjoyed visiting the 3 wineries, sampling good sized glasses of 11 different wines throughout the day. From a personal point of view, I wish I’d had a bigger breakfast or taken some snacks to eat along the way! The lunch at one of the chateaus was pretty basic - I think bread & cheese would’ve been much nicer to eat alongside the wine! All in a though, the day was lovely & would definitely like to spend more time in St Emillion to explore another time. P.S … wear trainers - the cobbles in the village will be slippery when wet!

I went solo on this day trip to St Emilion with Olala. I would recommend stopping at the bakery around the corner at 9am for the fresh croissant- still warm and fragrant! This was a small group which was very nice. I really enjoyed getting to know the other people on the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about wines and broke up his narration in “chapters” which was helpful. The stop in St Emilion was charming even in the rain. I got some great photos! The three wineries were genuine wineries and not too touristic so I think the guide did a great job selecting them. The winery guides were very friendly and provided great education. Overall, great day in the French countryside. My recommendations for change would be 1) improve lunch. If the meal is going to be cool or cold, may be better for charcuterie or sandwich or salad. 2) our guide was nice and knowledgeable and wish he been a bit more engaging but we all have those days!

Great tour visiting 3 different vineyards each telling a different story about their wine production. Very good tour leader who explained all the details of wine production in the region

Really lovely experience. Our guide Margot was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Lunch was a nice experience outside one of the wineries in Saint Emillion. Would have liked a little more spare time in Saint Emillion to explore.

All the châteaux we visited were fascinating, and our guide did an exceptional job. The châteaux tour was highly engaging, complemented by an excellent lunch

A brilliant your to St Emilion, our guide Hugo was very knowledgeable and great fun so made our day. The lunch was great and the wine tastings were very educational. I would recommend Olala for any tour.

Margot was a great guide ! And the places we visited were great a Examples of Saint Emilion wines. All in all super nice and insightfull

A very good day. Our guide provided lots of helpful information and was a great source of historical knowledge the whole time.

Great day, nice pace. Xavier was a great guide. Lots of knowledge about everything. Fun. Small group. Perfect

This was a lovely, full day. Our driver was very pleasant and gave us information as she drove without being tedious with details. We visited three wineries, ranging from a small family production on up to a large worldwide distributor. A simple picnic right beside the vines was so pleasant.
