Médoc wine lovers (morning)

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.

Our experience was great. Our guide Alex was amazing, super friendly, energetic and full of knowledge. He guide us trough the history of Bordeaux et St Emilion wine, and was helpful and responsive to all our requests. The winery we visit was fantastic and we learned so much about the process of making wine, and finally the city of St emilion was beautiful. Highly recommended trip

Had an excellent experience, one of the best in France. Special thanks to Mode, our tour guide, who was absolutely brillaint, very entertaining, very funny and lovely to talk to. This wine trail, especially with Mode is 100% recommended to anyone looking forward to visiting Bordeaux.
