Wine tour Entre Deux Mers

Anthony Greener 09/27/2023

Interesting tour, very informative at both wine estates, excellent guide. Only disappointment was that neither estate produced white wines or if they did none were provided at tasting. To me these white wines are the very essence of Entrée Deux Mers.

Answer from Office de Tourisme et des Congrès de Bordeaux Métropole

Dear Mister Greener, We thank you for review and are sorry to hear that our tour didn't fit all your expectations. Entre-deux-Mers is, indeed, famous for its white wines, and our tour normally includes a tasting of this specific wine. Our partner produce a wide range of wines, including white ones, but chose to offer you other wines. We have contacted him to make sure that our future tours will include a white wine tasting. We are glad to hear that nevertheless you appreciated this tour and our guide. Best regards

Loved the experience

Juliana Silva 09/25/2023

Great quality for value. Despite the fact that our tour changed destination because of world heritage day, going to Médoc instead of Saint-émilion, we visited two wineries, where the guides provided a warm welcome on both french and english. We tasted two wines in each winery, both the first wine and the second wine of the house, and were offered great explanations about the wine making process. Great for those who require a short visit or a budget option.

Answer from Office de Tourisme et des Congrès de Bordeaux Métropole

Dear Juliana, We thank you for your nice review. We are sorry not to have been able to offer the original Saint Emilion tour on these particular heritage day, but are glad to see that you appreciated our Médoc tour. We hope to see you again in Bordeaux with a discovery of Saint-Emilion ! Best regards The Bordeaux Tourist Office team

Chateau and terror 0923

Toby Young 09/15/2023

Got locked in the underground church for 20 minutes, after our guide departed and closed up. She didn't count us in or out. Luckily for me another tour was inside the church, so I escaped with them 20 minutes later. No point in complaining. What is done is done. Bus PA system made understanding our guide difficult. Wine tasting was good. Not a highlight of my stay in Bordeaux

Answer from Mr. Office de Tourisme et des Congrès de Bordeaux Métropole x

Dear Sir Young, it is with regret that we read your comment. We have noticed your feedback and are really sorry to read that you got locked in the underground church. In a quality concern, we send your impressions to the service in charge of this tour, in order that it does not happen again. Anyway, we hope that you enjoyed your time in Bordeaux and looking forward to welcoming you again. Best regards, Tourist Office Team

Disappointing

Robin Coventry 09/10/2023

We did not like being in a group of rude people who pushed in all the time. We did not like the first winery where we stood the entire time and in the hot sun. They were not very well organised. We are sorry we went

Answer from Office de Tourisme et des Congrès de Bordeaux Métropole

Dear Sir, We regret that the visit did not go as well as it usually does. Indeed during these visits, it seems essential to us to make a stop to observe the vines, the work ground of the winegrowers. Always concerned about improving the quality of our visits, we inform all members of the team of your feelings and hope to welcome you again in conditions that meet your expectations.
