Quick and well designed wine tour

Stefano EDEFONTI 10/17/2024

In 4hrs we had the chance to visit both the super nice village of saint emilion and a chateau with wine tasting. The real plus of the experience was our guide Margot, very interesting and prepared that gave us a different perspective to what we saw. She has also been very helpful suggesting us nice places for food and drinks in Bordeaux. Schedule of the trip was perfectly timeful and sufficient to see almost everything with no rush

Interesting but pricey

Steven Lee 09/24/2024

A group of 7 meant that we had good attention from our guide. He was informative and entertaining. The town is lovely and we seemed to be there at a slightly quiet time. It would easily become overcrowded. The winery visit was very interesting and there wasn’t a hard-sell to buy. But overall the tour seemed expensive for what we got. Half the time was in the van, no food was included and finding toilets in the town is difficult

We had a wonderful half day trip to St Emilion including some time in the village and a visit to a small, organic vineyard. Our guide was very well informed and very personable - we have forgotten her name (she is originally from Lebanon) - and we very warmly recommend her and the guided tour.
