Fantastic Tour with Maud

Sarah G. 04/23/2024

We took the 8-hour full day tour with Maud and it was fantastic! You are able to taste a variety of delicious wines across the three vineyards and Saint-Emilion is a charming town that can't be missed. If you're lucky enough to get Maud as your guide - she is extremely kind, knowledgeable and fun. You can tell she loves meeting new people and making sure her group has a great time experiencing a new place. Highly recommend!

Great wine tour

Bre 04/15/2024

We had a great time and had an amazing guide, Mode. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had fun and engaging wine tastings. Mode also showed us around St. Emilion (during her break!) which was an added bonus. I forgot my jacket in the van and both Mode and the tour company were quick to respond and ensure I got it back. Definitely recommend!

Brilliant wine tour with the best tour guide

Sophie Endean 04/07/2024

Our tour from start to finish was fantastic. Maude was so knowledgeable, fun and made us relax from the first second. The vineyards we visited were great and the stop at St Emillion was beautiful! Thank you Maude for being the best tour guide and making the day so enjoyable!

Graves-Saint Emilion Wine Tour: Worth every Euro spent

Angela Jett 03/30/2024

Bordeaux: Graves (Chateau LaTour Martillac) and Saint Emilion (Chateau Valentin-Chateau Laussac (Vignobles Robin), Chateau Clos Des Abbesses, this was a tour we enjoyed tremendously. If I missed anything we did so much it's hard to recall everything. Many thanks to our tour guide "Mel" who made this a tour to remember. Mel was able to include everyone in the tour. Her excellent descriptions and conversations were about more than wine alone (wines, cheeses, churches, history, various shops). Mel has a very good sense of humor, understands her audience(s) and made a real effort to connect with us. We felt very much at home with her, a difficult thing to accomplish in just a few hours but she did it easily. THANKS MEL. The tours were not just about tasting wine they were also helpful in understanding more about the the wines, planting, pruning, harvesting, juicing methods, fermentation, aging, quality, region of origin (appellations) and organic wine growing. When finished we had been given a new prespective about wine that we never had prior to the tour. The wines were a wide variety and enjoyable, the staff of each Chateau made us feel welcome and entertanted questions without making anyone feel out of place Well worth every Euro spent.
