Emanuel was a great guide, very friendly, funny patient and knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour to friends. He knows a great deal about the history of the region in general as well as the wine.The walking tour of St Emilion was just the perfect balance to experiencing only wine. Would recommend!

A taste of Saint-Emilion
Donna Spencer 09/11/2024
An easy excursion to one vineyard and the picturesque village of Saint-Emilion. You meet at Cite du Vin. Easy to get to by tram. If you are early, there is a market across the street for coffee/croissant. You get a taste (pun intended) of the area. If you want more time in Saint-Emilion (for a meal) or more vineyards, book into something more extensive. But if you've got evening plans in Bordeaux, or want to combine Cite du Vin with this tour, then the half day tour works well and won't exhaust you.

Excellent tour

Emanuel was a terrific guide who knew a great deal about the history of the region and particularly the wine. I learned a great deal about French wine from him and the vineyard we visited produced magnificent wine. The walking tour of St Emilion was just the perfect balance to experiencing only wine. Would recommend!
