Don’t miss this one!
Our afternoon with Sonia visiting two chateaus was delightful and informative. We had good tours and very nice wine tastings at both. The area is very scenic so get your camera ready. Our afternoon ended with a short visit to the ancient and beautiful town of St Emillion. I would recommend this activity.

Fab tour to get taste of Saint Emilion
What an awesome tour with Sonia!!!! Wegl gave her a bit of a stress, arriving late, but she handled it so well. We met wonderful people from England, Germany and Dallas. Enjoyed the tour emensely, got a lot of info and tasted fab wine, especially from small family owned, organic Chateau le Chatelet. Met the owner, Virginie, and she was just wonderful, funny, informative and great conversationalist. The vine was outstanding, great that they ship to US at a very reasonable cost. Loved it.
