Fabulous small-group experience
Paul M 07/05/2024
This was such an enjoyable experience. It was so nice to have a small group (7 people) - it almost felt like a custom private tour. The winery was a small boutique organic winery. The winery host made a good presentation and came across as very authentic and uncommercial. She specially selected wines to compare 2016 and 2018 vintages. Enjoyed the walking tour of St. Emilion. Our tour guide Emmanuel was very personable and well-informed. He engaged the group in dialogue. I especially appreciate that his tour company emphasizes sustainability and organic wineries. All in all, I'd highly recommend this tour!

My husband and I went on this tour and it was excellent - Emmanuel was fantastic, very friendly, knew everything about the area, the wine and of course St Emilion. He was very helpful with my husband who has mobility issues. Would recommend this tour 100%:)

An ideal way to spend half a day exploring Saint-Émilion

The location for pickup was easily accessible, Emmanuel drove safely and shared lots of interesting information on the journey to the lovely, family run vineyard we visited. We enjoyed our wine tasting at the vineyard after an insightful tour. The pitstop in Saint-Émilion was a nice, swift walking tour of some of the highlights of the area.
