When the weather is wet, drink wine!

Richard Harrison 04/28/2025

Really enjoyable despite the wet weather! Sonia was an excellent guide providing good information. The two family run vineyards provided friendly and enjoyable tastings of various wines of different grape varieties and prices. There was no pressure to buy wine although I’m taking back a couple of St Émilion Grand Cru; it’s nice to be able to buy from the vineyard having heard about their passion for their wine.

A Magical Afternoon in St. Emilion

Heidi Gollert 04/14/2025

Outstanding tour! Our guide, Christine was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. She shared fascinating information about the wine and history of Bordeaux wines and St.Emilion in particular. Our small group of 8 was welcomed warmly to tastings in two St. Emilion wineries where the owner-representatives described the history and process of wine production on their estates. Both were friendly and charming. Wine was offered for sale, but there was no pressure at all to buy. We ended with a visit to the beautiful town of St.Emilion, where Catherine shared more local history and we had some time on our own to shop and wander. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. It was a

A great tour to remember

CHRISTINA ANDROULAKI 03/19/2025

Our guide was great. She told us about the whole region of Bordeaux and its wines. The wines we tasted were great and we visited different types of challets each with a different process of making wine. I highly recommend the tour to everyone who loves wine and wants to see a little of the village Saint Emilion.

Amazing tour with the best wine guide

David Joel Montenegro Sanchez 11/29/2024

The tour was amazing, very complete and with good tastings, we were given very interesting information about the wine process and local wines, the places visited were very beautiful and with a good amount of tastings ( 6 in total). The start of the tour was on time and the maximum number of people was respected, which made it quite comfortable. All the booking process was very good and easy. Sonia, our guide, was very kind and knowledgeable, she provided great information for all the wine area in Bordeaux and also great suggestions for food and places to visit. We stayed around 30min in St Emilion village and I loved it, at the end I wish I had more time to spend there, but that is mentioned in the tour and no complains about it, just consider in case you want to know better the village or take time for sitting down in a great restaurant or have more tasting. I definitely recommend the tour!
