An excellent way to see St Emilion and sample wines of the region! - I really enjoyed this tour. Firstly, I’d rate the tour guide, Vincent, as first-class and one of the most knowledgeable guides on tours I have taken. He was an excellent driver, efficient and pleasant and really knew his stuff on wines! Being able to be driven around to 3 different wineries and taking in the wonderful scenery of the area, sampling the wines of the area and learning so much was great. The visit to St Emilion was great but too short to enable a proper exploration. Seeing Chateau Margaux from the gates was a highlight!

A great day in Bordeaux - A fantastic and full day touring the left and right banks of the Bordeaux region. Our guide, Valentin, first took us to the village of Saint-Émilion which was so charming; we took a walk through the village and learned more about its history and the wine production in the surrounding region. Then, we visited our first vineyard in the Saint-Émilion region which was terrific! We were introduced to some fantastic wines, then we ate a delicious lunch including some delectable cheeses. We then took a trip to Margaux and Medoc for our final 2 wineries, and it was fascinating to learn more about the classifications and how they came to be. We learned about some truly innovative wine making techniques at the final vineyard, then we did a tasting of these wines - everyone in my group bought a bottle from here. Overall, it was a lovely day with the group, the wines, and Valentin :)

Vineyard Visit Value- Bordeaux - Great day of touring with knowledgeable and affable host/ guide/ driver. He took great care of all of us from ensuring food restrictions honoured to pacing more rigorous elements of village walks according to each travellers’ capability. Felt more like a good friend proudly showing you some of his favourite spots and regions gems. Wineries were varied, interesting and convivial. Highly recommend.

recommend, better than expected - It helps to be with a nice group, but the guide Jeremy was very knowledgeable, friendly and gregarious. The chateaux were nice and varied and offered a good perspective of different kinds of operations. The car was comfy and the lunch was nice. Tasted about 10 kinds of wine. A very enjoyable day.

Great views and lovely experience - The driver was excellent. The other passengers were a great bunch and the winery tours were so fun. Bring a jacket as the wineries are cold because of the storage requirements. All in all a very fun experience.

Fabulous! - We had a fabulous tour with Margot! She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging and helpful! She even left us with a large list of recommendations for a variety of Bordeaux sites, restaurants, etc. The tour was punctual and an adorable lunch was served in the garden of the vineyard along with a bottle of wine from our tasting! We truly got our moneys worth and had an incredibly enjoyable day!

A lovely experience! Informative and fun! - Cannot recommend this experience enough if you are interested in learning more about wines or even just learning about the Bordeaux region. Our guide Margot was prompt, intelligent, informative, and passionate about the subject matter. We were taken to three lovely wineries throughout the day, each one more lovely than the last. The tour proved incredibly informative with ample time to ask questions at each stop. The lunch, which was included, was simple, elegant, and reflective of the region. At the end of the day, we were dropped at the central location where we began our journey, happy, full, and certainly more knowledgeable than when we started. Our guide was also kind enough to provide usnadditional recommendations of what to see while in the region.
