Saint-Emilion Wine Tour

I really enjoyed my half day tour at Saint-Emilion with our tourist guide. Visiting this winery was a great experience and I bought a bottle of Bordeaux to bring with me. It was fun chatting up with other visitors and explore the ville of Saint-Emilion even when it rained very hard. I would love to visit again and relive my wonderful experience.

Answer from The Bordeaux Wine Trails Team

Delighted you had a great time exploring the village despite the rain and had fun on our Saint Emilion Morning Tour. Looking forward to hosting you again!

Lovely day in Saint Emilion

Our guide was lovely and very informative about wine making and the vineyards. She helped us with advice about staying on Saint Emilion and getting a tour of the excavated church and gave us recommendations about the village. We would have liked to see a second vineyard, preferably one that was a bit more rustic than the one we saw. I would recommend the tour.

WONDERFUL MORNING

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour to Chateau Bonalgue and Saint-Emilion. Our driver/guide (Anton) was fantastic - very knowledgable, friendly and with excellent English. We learnt so much about the wine making process. It was good being in a small group of 8 people. Then it was great to walk through Saint Emilion..... We would highly recommend this tour....... 5 *'s from us........

Excellent trip to St. Emilion

We really enjoyed this trip - Melina was a lovely driver/guide, very friendly with excellent English, and it was great being in a small group of just 8 of us. Hugo at Cadet Bon vineyard was fantastic in explaining the wine making process - we learnt so much. Tour of St. Emilion was good too. A lot packed into a morning’s trip. Would certainly recommend it to friends.
