Great time!
Remi was our tour guide and he was awesome!
We loved visiting the two chateaus, enjoyed the lunch, and loved wrapping up with some final tastings at the boutique wine shop.
We walked in knowing basically nothing about wine and left feeling relatively educated on it. Plus, we enjoyed some great wine!

Great overview of Medoc wines
Pauline provided helpful overviews of the wine and regional history and she was a lovely person to share the day with. The wine estates were beautiful and it was informative to compare the different styles as we moved further north. The food pairings are matched perfectly and really elevated the experience.

Medoc Food and Wine Day Tour
Everything about the day was great. Meeting location was easy to travel to. The tour guide was waiting for the wine tasters and was knowledgeable about the chateau's and the wine. The air-conditioned van kept you cool on the extremely hot day. The hosts at the chateau's were amazing. The pairings were perfect and the wines were outstanding. Would highly recommend taking the tour.

Fantastic day in St Emilion
Our day on e-bikes through St Emilion was wonderful. Vincent was enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable and he helped create a great atmosphere that allowed us to really connected with the other guests as well. The paths he led us down were all safe and easy to navigate. The breeze generated by the bikes made the heat tolerable and the wines we tried were all excellent.

One of our favorite memories in Bordeaux
We really enjoyed our tour with Rustic Vines and would recommend it to friends visiting the area. The whole day was well paced and we left the tour with a deeper understanding of the winemaking in Bordeaux. Our guide was fantastic—very accommodating to anything we needed and an excellent source of information throughout the day. Considering everything you get to try and do, we felt the tour was fairly priced as well!

Best way to see the vines!
We had a fantastic day exploring Saint-Emilion with Rustic Vines Tours, guided by Daniel. He's a wonderful guide. He's knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the region. What stood out most was his willingness to let us take our time at each stop, never rushing the experience.
The châteauxs selected for the tour gave us an excellent sense of the area and its winemaking traditions. However the two chateaus were a little similar so maybe a bit more variety would be good. The tastings were memorable, and the lunch was delicious. Despite the heat, we felt well looked after throughout the day.
The whole experience was beautifully organised. Attentive to detail, thoughtfully planned, and executed with care. Highly recommend Rustic Vines Tours to anyone wanting an authentic, unhurried introduction to the region.
