Good variety
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience in Saint Emilion and Medoc. Our guide was knowledgeable and efficient in getting us to our four destinations. Transportation was comfortable and easy. Rain in the village made it hard to tour, which would have been nice. Good choices of Chateaus - variety of small, organic, and more professional. Very good knowledge shared on all aspects of wine making and history. The lunch was just right for the event. Thank you!

Super Guide & Lovely Wine Tour
Roberto is a lovely person. He was kind and helpful throughout our experience. The lunch that Roberto prepared was delicious and we all enjoyed it. If I were to change anything it would have to be this, I think touring one chateau in its entirety is probably enough. The second one could just be a tasting. That time saved could be used to have a little more time in Saint-Emilion which would have been lovely. Thank you! I would definitely recommend!

Great day visiting the wineries on e-bikes
The tour operator and bikes were exceptional and the wineries provided an excellent balance of information tasting and fun. We could not fault the day and the lunch was perfect too. We would highly recommend the tour

A wonderful, memorable day in Saint Emilion
It was our first time in Bordeaux and we were looking for a shorter day trip since we arrived in the morning. We have been to many wineries and this experience to Saint Emilion was different. We learned something new along the way and the three stops were all unique.
We met our lovely guide, Chihiro, and we drove to a family run winery. It was the perfect way to start the tour, followed by a picnic lunch under the trees in the vineyard, visited by the winery dog, Jojo. We next went to the city of Saint Emilion; a stunning yellow lime stone city centre. We visited a wine shop and did a tasting of different wines - smaller wineries with different histories. We walked around a bit before heading to the last winery in Lalande Pomerol. We had a great tour and it was unique because the chateau has different terroir for their plots, so the wines all tasted different.
A big thank you to Chihiro for educating us and being wonderful company for the day. We highly recommend this tour and would do another one next time we visit.

Amazing Experience!
What an amazing experience! Our e-bike tour with Chihiro was incredible from start to finish. Riding around St. Émilion, touring the vineyards, and tasting local wines made for a perfect day. We’d definitely recommend Rustic Vines to all our friends. Thank you for an awesome experience!
