We had a wonderful group tour on the right bank with the knowledgeable and entertaining Alex, visiting some amazing wineries. Aside from the delicious wine, the winery lunch and the visit to the village of Saint-Émilion were highlights.

The best wine tour we’ve ever been on

Matt Steadman 10/31/2024

This was such a fun day in Bordeaux! We’ve done plenty of wine tours before but this was our favourite one. There is only a maximum of eight people on the tour so you’re not in a big crowd. And you get to visit both the left-bank and right-bank of Bordeaux, and contrast the multiple styles of winemaking. This tour would suit anyone even if you know nothing about wine, but it’s also great if you know your stuff and want to learn more about the various appellations in the region. Our guide Alex was GREAT - and also a professional sommelier who has even worked at Paris’s famous Le Tour d’Argent restaurant. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the Bordeaux region :)

A day well spent enjoying Bordeaux wine country

Karen Miller 10/24/2024

Booked this tour based on the reviews from TripAdvisor , which can be risky and we're so glad we did because it was an amazing day. Jonathan was a fun and informative tour guide and made the full day of wine tasting and touring the area worth our time and money. We didn't think we were huge French wine fans but we found out we are, we even had some sent back home and are still enjoying our wine back home in California. I typically don't take the time to write reviews but since we were so pleased with the guidance all the reviews gave us I'm paying back. Book this tour if you're in Bordeaux, we loved it.
