Journée Saint-Emilion, Village, Souterrains et Châteaux

This was a nice tour to Saint-Emilion, where one could learn a lot from the super friendly guide, who was very pleasant as a person, informative and also funny. He did a great job, as well as the excellent female driver of the comfortable bus. The first Château Balestard La Tonnelle visit was excellent, again with an interesting tour and wonderful wine on a rooftop terrasse with a view to the landscape. The underground church activity was also good (though we had to wait a bit due to several other groups). The only thing I disliked was the second chateau visit (Château Champion). The wine tasting room was dark, the winemaker talked a lot about just how to taste a wine and nothing else, and the wine had medium quality at best. What I really disliked was the minimal amount of wine you received in the glass. A single bottle (0,75 l was divided by 18! ). That means, the maximum costs per person concerning the wine were 3 euros or less, and that is not value for money. Please change the second chateau or be more generous or let the tour cost less. Other then that, it was a good trip.

Our guide and driver made it an enjoyable experience. The day is not too long and the pace is relaxed. Plenty of time to explore the village during free time at lunch break. The first stop was a large corporate vineyard and the second was a smaller family run business. David was our Tasting Host. I really enjoyed this place. Highly recommend it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Intéressant la visite de vignobles. Réservation facile Je recommande.

La guide était très interessante et sympathique Les domaines choisis pourraient être meilleurs C’était décevant
