What a fun day! Our tour guide was excellent and provided us with a good overview of the Medoc wine region. We were treated to a sampling of great wines and delicious cheese and charcuterie, plus a sweet treat to end on. We stopped at three different wineries and learned how each produces the wines we tasted that day. We also had a chance to enjoy the beauty of the Medoc region as we traveled to and from the different wineries. The small group size (only 6 of us) made this a very enjoyable tour. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Bordeaux.
