Beautiful day but not so great wines
We had a wonderful day overall with Vincent. The biking was fun and St Emillion is charming. We had a group of 10 representing 4 continents which added to the enjoyment. The picnic lunch was delicious with yummy pate and cheese and fruit. We visited two chateaus that were very different. Both tours and tastings were informative though the wines were unremarkable (and some pretty bad). Our last tasting in a wine shop offered better but much pricier wines. Almost makes you wonder if the lineup is intentional to get you to spring for the expensive wines at the end of the trip. I would recommend doing the tour but don’t have high expectations for the wine.

Outstanding! Informative and lots of fun!
Karin was a wonderful tour guide and driver. He seemed committed to making the entire day the perfect combination of education and entertainment. It was a great value. The small group on the tour were all Americans from wine regions and it was a lot of fun getting to know one another. Highly recommended for wine enthusiasts with mild-to-serious levels of interest.

A fun outing in the wine country
Good wines, very nice lunch, and a very informative host. Daniel was very generous with his knowledge of the wine region, history, and current developments. He expertly pivoted when unforeseeable traffic delayed our schedule. We were well cared for and enjoyed every tasting.

Fantastic time
A full day of wine and information with the incredible Vincent. He was so passionate, knowledgeable and friendly - a true asset to Rustic Vines. We’ve been on a lot of wine tours and can confidently say he was the best guide we’ve ever had. Many thanks from New Zealand!
