St Emilion and winetasting
We're not usually fans of organised tours but this appealed as it was small, in the afternoon and in an a/c minivan.
It did not disappoint our guide Francois was a wine expert knowlegeable, passionate and interested in helping us understand the complexities of the wonderful world of Bordeaux wine.
We visited 2 biodynamic chateaux for tastings and an overview of their business with a stop in St Emilion between tastings.
Highly recommend this trip very enjoyable and excellent value for money.
Thank-you Francois for making the trip so memorable.

A first time in Saint-Emilion
A beautiful excursion to Saint-Emilion, our guide Dulce guided us well throughout our journey. The vineyard is interesting, because we are visiting a family estate. The wines offered for tasting are very good.

Latishia was extremely knowledgeable about the wines of Bordeaux, wine making techniques and the wine regions of France. She was very pleasant and offered suggestions for wine bars upon our return to Bordeaux. We visited Chateau Bellevue in St Emilion for tastings and then she offered a brief tour of the village of St Emilion before allowing free time to explore. Highly recommend

A Terrific Half-Day Tour
This was a very fun and informative tour. Our guide Mathis was a terrific host and he not only taught us a lot about the region of Bordeaux but also about wine making. We stopped at the beautiful Châteaux Bellevue and tasted 4 excellent wines. Afterward, we got to enjoy some free time in the center of Saint Emillion which is as charming as you could imagine. If you’d like get a taste of winemaking in Bordeaux without a huge time commitment, this is a great tour. Well worth the price.

Wit, charme and french wine history
Guy, our guide was extremely knowledgeable on history and state of wine affairs and region with a great sense of humour and wit. Was a nice small group size, flexible time as we waited for a participant and were able to accommodate a detour with all in agreement. Great half day out from Bordeaux.
