Awesome tour with history & wine together - We had the most amazing time learning about wine, Bordeux, wine making philosophy of the region in the most fun way. Clem(not sure if I got his name right) was amazing in both educating us in wine & Bordeux & St.emilion making the tour fun. This was more than just a wine tasting but also exposure to the background history and culture of Bordeux region and St.emilion.

A wonderful afternoon in the vineyards - A really enjoyable afternoon out and about wine tasting in St Emilion. Only 4 of us in the (comfortable) minivan so plenty of room. Clem was an excellent guide, sharing his passion for the wine and the region. The two tastings were informative and the wines very good. The weather was excellent, which certainly helped, but I would thoroughly recommend.

And Unforgettable Bordeaux Wine Tour - A Must for Wine Lovers! - My husband and I had the pleasure of experiencing the Saint-Emilion Afternoon Wine Tour with Clément as our guide and it was truly a memorable and enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Everything was perfectly organzied and Clément's passion for Bordeaux wines, his deep knowledge of the region, and his friendly personality made the tour both educational and incredibly fun. The scenic drive through Bordeaux's picturesque vineyards was breathtaking, and our guide enriched the journey with great insights.
We visited two charming, family-owned wineries, each with its own unique history and winemaking philosophy. The hospitality was outstanding - we were warmly welcomed and given an insider's look at the winemaking process, from vineyard to bottle. Tasting their wines in such an intimate setting, while learning about the traditions and techniques passed down through generations, was truly very special. We also stopped in Saint-Emilion and had an opportunity to explore this most charming UNESCO World Heritage Site town on our own.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the region - you will leave with a deeper appreciation for Bordeaux wines, wonderful memories, and perhaps even a few bottles to take home!

Beautiful afternoon in Saint-Emilion! - We spent an excellent afternoon with Clement our expert wine guide. From Bordeaux city centre to the finish of our 1st stage, Clement gave us a great introduction by talking about the grape varieties, the specificities of the region, and we didn’t see the time pass in the van. The welcome in the first castle is very nice, right in the vineyards. Then the visit and tasting in the middle of the wood barrels. We took great pleasure in talking with our host, very friendly and tasting Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé, a great first for me! After this stage, Clement made us a visit to the famous village of Saint Emilion, where we enjoyed the quiet cobbled alleys. Then the last stop was in another family castle where the owner welcomed us with beautiful vintages and we finished the tasting with spreads and excellent cheese!! Anyway, a great afternoon.

A trip of a lifetime to St Emilion - The trip to St Emilion was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our very knowledgeable, attentive and charming guide, Annabelle, drove us, a small group of 8 tourists, through the pleasant countryside to the Chateau Cadet Bon, where the experienced owner explained how red wine is produced. He invited us to taste a variety of fine quality wines. We were able to explore the stunningly picturesque village and church of St Emilion. We then visited the Saint-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens, where we enjoyed white wine and cheese in a very relaxed, confortable environment. It was truly a trip to remember!

Enjoyable Day Trip - Excellent half day of wine tasting in the Bordeaux countryside with Francoise. We day tripped here from Paris on the fast train. Our group was pretty small - just 5 people total. The weather was optimal on the day we visited which made the drive out to Saint Emilion very pleasant. Francoise is incredibly knowledgeable on anything related to wine and he is eager to answer questions. We went to two wineries - one that focused on the wine making process, and another that focused on wine tasting. There are opportunities at both to buy bottles or cases. In between both tastings, we had an hour of free time in Saint Emilion. The village is really pretty and wasn't thronged with tourists at this time of year which was a perk. I would definitely do another tour with this company if I had the chance.
