Vineyard, wine tasting and St Emilion afternoon visit

Jennifer Boughey 10/26/2024

The trip was easy to book and we were kept in touch by email. The directions for the pick up were very clear. It was a very enjoyable and interesting afternoon. Our guide gave us a clear and informative talk on the way to the first vineyard. We tasted some excellent wines. The visit to historic St Emilion added variety. I would recommend this trip with confidence.

Highly Recommend!

Sonia was an amazing guide - a wonderful tour guide who clearly has a passion for sharing the history of Bordeaux wine with others. Saint-Emilion was also beautiful. I would certainly tell anyone coming to Bordeaux to take this tour.
