Glorious picnic and winetasting in a beautiful setting - Thomas was a great tour guide - friendly and informative and clearly loves his job! The vineyards are in a beautiful valley and we enjoyed the views with our delicious picnic lunch. The wine tasting was fun and just the right amount of tasting and information. We went with our three older teenage children and they loved it too! Thank you.

Wonderful afternoon - Amazing trip. Slightly out of town but easily found by car. Friendly greeting. Huge thunderstorm meant the wonderful views were not so wonderful initially but cover and umbrellas sorted all that. Sun came out later as well… Picnic Lunch was great. Tour guide was fantastic. Perfect English and really informative. Embarrassed we can’t name check her but thank you. Really lovely half day start to our visit to Bordeaux area. Good value for money we thought.

Fantastic experience. Highly recommend - A fantastic experience. We were lucky enough it was just myself and my dad on the tour so had a very personal experience. Beautiful grounds across both chateaus. We walked there from saint emillion town. Was a beautiful 30 min walk surrounded by vineyards. We also had the picnic which was excellent, all locally made food - 3 courses! Tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable

What a magnificent view to enjoy a good red! - My husband and I enjoyed this activity! The view from the site of the 2 castles La Croizille and Tour de Baladoz is just EXCEPTIONAL!! One of the most beautiful around Saint-Emilion, without a doubt! Thanks to our tour guide who was charming and smiling despite our layman's questions :-) We discovered some very pleasant new wines and actually took some bottles home to Belgium! The picnic basket was GREAT!! Honestly recommended!! Starter, main course and dessert, we hadn't imagined. Very fresh, tasty and which feels good after tastings where it is always a little difficult to "spit out" the good nectar!
