Good experience

We had a great guide, Guy, and a lot was crammed into a short time. The process was fine and the drive out allowed Guy to explain a lot about the history, the places and the wine. Walking round St Emilion was great. Visiting a second wine maker would have been great and Chateau Grangey was a bit quirky. It’s difficult to squeeze everything into a 4 hour trip

Wish we'd signed up for the lomger tour!

The half day tour was great, so great I was regretting we'd only taken a half day. The village of Saint Emilion is interesting, charming, and had the best bakery. Our guide knew everything about wine. Then our somelier added with her knowledge. The wine we tasted was superb. Top notch tour.

Excellent tour

Catrin was our guide for the trip and was full of fun, energy and immense knowledge of everything to do with wine and explained and showed us so much in a short space of time. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend the trip to anyone. A beautiful place to visit.

Informative, fun and tasty tour

Our half day wine tasting tour to Saint-Emilion was really enjoyable. Our guide was friendly and extremely informative; the tour included both a visit to the beautiful old town as well as a trip to a local vineyard, where we were were able to see at first hand the wine-making process as well as having the opportunity to taste two 'Grand Cru' wines (delicious!) in a fabulous setting. Before dropping us back, our guide made some good recommendations for local bars and restaurants which also proved to be well-chosen. A recommended trip for a small taste of the Bordeaux wine industry,
