A Long Day - but worth it!
Enjoyed a long but delightful day exploring the Bordeaux wine region with our guide, Daniel.
First stop - a wine shop and tasting of five wines. The shop owner asks everyone to rank the top two at the end of the trip and we were shocked we all chose the least expensive!
Second Stop - small vineyard right outside Saint Emilion proper. I thought I hated merlot until I tried it here. Wow - amazing
We also had lunch at the end of this stop. That's the only thing I think could be improved upon on the tour. Lunch was a charcuterie board shared by each couple that include bread, cheese, meats and veggies. It was large, but knowing we would be drinking all day could have used something a bit heavier like a true sandwich.
The two afternoon stops in the Medoc. By this point we had driven (ridden) quite a bit and with the 105* heat it gets a bit hard to remember. But I do know our last shop did a chocolate pairing with the wines that was delightful.
Daniel was an excellent guide with SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE. It was a lot of wine and a lot of driving/riding - but worth every penny! An incredible value for everything we drink and saw that day!

A great day in the Medoc
This small group tour in the Medoc was excellent. Ismail drove us in the van to just 3 chateaux. At each one we were given a good presentation of the chateau and its history and the terroir etc and then had a tasting (of at least 3 wines) accompanied by local food/snacks. The pace was perfect - not rushed at all but relaxed and comfortable. It was well organised, informative and educational. The 3 wineries were all different and they were a good combination. We’d recommend this tour.

Canicule! They did their best.
We visited Bordeaux during the June Canicule in 2026. Our guide, Garrett, did his best to make a difficult situation enjoyable.
We would absolutely recommend Rustic Vines. Our Wine tour introduced us to a wide variety of vintners, was engaging and beautifully executed.

A Perfect Day Exploring Saint-Émilion & Médoc
We had a fantastic day on the Saint-Émilion and Médoc wine tour - the whole experience was relaxed, informative and extremely well organised from start to finish.
We visited some beautiful Chateaux, enjoyed learning about the winemaking process and tasted a wonderful selection of wines from both regions - the lunch was delicious and provided a great opportunity to relax.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about Bordeaux wines, making the day both educational and fun. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bordeaux who wants to experience some of the region’s best vineyards, wines and scenery.
A truly memorable day!

A beautiful day exploring Chateaus and St Emilion, food and wine!
Thoroughly recommend this tour as it incorporates history, food and wine knowledge. Tour guide was very personal, we visited two Chateaus which staff gave as tours of the wineries and had tastings in each. Had a lovely picnic in the gardens of the Chateau with bottle of wine. St Emilion was gorgeous with more wine tastings and exploration.
