Fabulous Day in St Emilion!
Kimberly Allen 09/18/2025
It was a wonderful experience. Our bike guide was fun and laid back. The two wineries had informative guides and the store tasting was excellent. I would recommend this tour for anyone that doesn't want to be with a large group of tourists and wants to be a bit active and see the beauty of the vineyards. I would liked to have a bit of free time in the beautiful town maybe for drink to soak up all the charm.

Beautiful day but not so great wines
Carol Hitselberger 09/16/2025
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.

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
Robert 09/15/2025
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.
