Fantastic St-Émilion E-Bike Wine Tour – Fun, Scenic, and Memorable
We had an amazing time on the St-Émilion Electric Bike Day Tour—it was a perfect way to experience the region. Riding the e-bikes through the beautiful countryside was an absolute blast and made it easy to cover more ground while still enjoying the scenery.
We visited two excellent châteaux, both offering great wines and unique perspectives on the area. The tastings were well done and added to the overall experience.
Lunch was also a highlight—relaxed, enjoyable, and a great way to break up the day.
Our guide was very good—knowledgeable, organized, and made the experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.
Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something a little different and fun while exploring St-Émilion.

Medoc and St Emilion Full day tour
We were a party of 4 that spent the day with Vincent and Chihiro in a very nice 8 passenger Mercedes van. There were 6 of us total on the tour.
We first went to St Emilion where Vincent gave us a walking tour of St Emilion and shared the history of the area. We walked through the lovely village and stopped at a wine store for tastings. This was followed by a stop at a local winery, for tasting and a picnic lunch. We then drove to the Medoc, picture taking opportunity at Chateaux Marguax followed by wine tasting at 2 different wineries. It was a perfect day. and just what we had envisioned . We loved St Emilion it was so charming !
Vincent is very passionate and knowledgeable about the Bordeaux wine region and its history. He exudes enthusiasm for his job and is very animated. Chihiro is a new guide and she was "in training". She was also very knowledgeable and is going to make a great guide..
We would definitely recommend Rustic Vines for a fully day tour to Bordeaux wine region.

Great Tour
Loved the food pairings with wine. Rustic Wine tours is very easy to book and provide very comfortable transportation. Loved the small group. Our guide (David??) was from Texas and very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Learned so much! Beautiful Chateau’s and great wine. The tour guides at each Chateau were knowledgeable and passionate about their Chavteau’s wine. Only negative comment- wish tour started earlier we started at 11:00 am and we did not arrive back until after 7pm. Would definitely book this tour again!

Great day out, lots of good information as well as wonderful wines!
This was our second trip with RV, both times with Pauline who is a wonderful guide. The chateaus were beautiful and the selection of wines tasted was top notch. Each chateau imparted interesting knowledge including history, differentiation within the region and use of technology.
I highly recommend this tour for a Medoc experience, also the St Emilion tour we did previously.
