Médoc wine lovers (morning)

Alex our guide was knowledgeable both about wine and quirky local history, and his English was excellent. The information shared in both vineyards was a little repetitive, but that actually helped cement it, and the wine tasting was enjoyable. Was just a little disappointing that it encompassed only 2 vineyards,

Very interesting trip with excellent guides. Learned a lot and tasted some delicious wines!

What an awesome morning we had with Laura - a cool, fun, friendly and knowledgeable guide!. We had terrible weather but that did not dampen our spirits as we set off for Medoc - Laura was always on hand with umbrellas, info about the region and the Chateaus and of course amazing restaurant choices for back in Bordeaux. If you book this trip - ask for Laura - she keeps it fun, interesting and insightful. The wine was also very very good!… excellent choices of Chateaus.

The tour was much shorter than we were led to believe on booking. The winery was completely empty of any staff or other visitors with all of the buildings shut. There was no real atmosphere, no walking of the vines, no tasting on site and no tactile element to the tour. We were then taken on a bus to a wine shop to taste wines which was unexpected and again lacked an integrated experience. We were not shown the process of wine manufacture nor was there any indication that wine was actually produced in the winery we visited, it felt like a museum rather than a working winery. Disappointing, was all over after 80-90 minutes, aside from the short tour of the village. Would not recommend.
