Saint Emilion Adventure!

Samuel Goodwich 04/30/2024

Amazing wine tour. Clement our driver was outstanding with his knowledge of the region and Bordeaux wines. The two wineries were great with the tastings and the second one having a spread of food which was great! Would 10000% recommend!

A most enjoyable and pleasant tour!!

Our group of 2 couples totally enjoyed the afternoon tour. Our tour host Melina was great..very informative and extremely upbeat. The tour to our winery that day and then later our wine tasting in St. Emilion. I and our party totally recommend this tour to all.

Rainy Day Fun

My husband and I took a few days from our trip to Paris to enjoy the Bordeaux region. The Bordeaux Wine Trails afternoon experience was a fantastic way to see the area! Maud was a wonderful guide, we laughed and learned and enjoyed some lovely wines. The 5.5 hours flew by!

Clem was a fantastic guide. He provided us with great information and was a fountain of knowledge. Each château was a unique experience and well worth the price
