Very simple
Gabriel Teixeira 06/04/2023
Very simple tour. The guide was good, but the wineries very simple and the guides not prepared.

Answer from Monsieur Office de Tourisme et des Congrès de Bordeaux Métropole x

Highly recommend
Che-I Liao 05/26/2023
A well organized tour, meeting point and timing is pretty clear. The tour guide and the host in the cheatau is super knowledgeable with great sense of humor, learnt so much about wine during the trip. Something could be improved, 1. Maybe it's a good thing to be informed in advance about which cheatau we are going to visit, so that we can look it up about their wine and history? 2. Time of commute is a bit longer than I expected (over 1hr), I understand the traffic, but could drive a little faster imo. Overall, a fantastic experience, definitely recommended. Next time will select a different day to visit another vineyard in a different small town.
