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
