Bumpy but good

nancy Edwards 04/20/2025

Margaux was a very knowledgeable and warm guide. The chateaus were a very good range of style and pricepoints. The negatives, my husband and I were in the back row of the SUV and it was not at all smooth. She was a bit of an aggressive driver which didn't help. However we never felt unsafe or in danger. Also, there was a mix of French and English speakers on the tour and sometimes French was dominant which my husband did not speak. The conversations were not crucial but it was a bit off-putting. Overall , however, we had a very enjoyable time. It was a great value.

Good experience

The half day wine tour was worth to explore Bordeaux.

Great Tour

The tour was an excellent brief introduction to wine making around Bordeaux. Perfect balance of technical explanation, history, their market and tastings. Beautiful chateaux's too. Our host was outstanding

What a Delight This Was!

Philip and Christine OWEN 12/07/2024

I desperately wanted to give my husband this opportunity to visit Margaux and taste the wines. So much so that I reluctantly agreed to attend to make sure he got to go, even though I'm not a red wine drinker. To my surprise, I enjoyed this immensely. Renee was extremely well-informed about the area, the wines, the industry, and the world at large. He was a delight to share time with and I was very FAR from being bored (which is what I had expected)! It had helped that we had been to Cite du Vin the day before, and had been on other winery tours in Europe and Australia. So we had some limited understanding of the processes and could ask reasonably intelligent questions that just made the tours even more interesting. The wines were lovely and my husband has become a definite Margaux fan! As I thought might happen! Many thanks to Renee who was a superb tour guide. Bravo Monsieur!
