Fantastic Tour of Saint Emilion

Emily Herron 11/12/2024

We had a wonderful - albeit rainy - afternoon in Saint Emilion. The history of both the city and France's wine industry was very interesting. The tasting was different than anything I've experienced in California wineries (far more technical) and the wines were fantastic. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Memorable experience

Monica Keller 11/12/2024

Loved everything about this tour: our guide’s professionalism and knowledge of all things French wine, the local vineyards we visited were beautiful, and the wine and tastings were delicious.

Great Afternoon with Clement

Ryan M 10/28/2024

Really well put together tour. It’s nearly an hour drive from Bordeaux to Saint Emilion but our guide used that time to give us background information about the region and answer any questions. He even used a microphone system in the van to make it easier to hear. The two wineries were nice examples of wine in the region especially the second boutique family one. Our stop to town was also interesting and enjoyable with a bit of background information and some downtime to grab a coffee. Can’t recommend this tour and our guide Clement enough!
