Brilliant tour, our guide Janika was super, full of knowledge on area and winerys, keep the whole trip fun. Both winerys visited were friendly and went through process behind making there wines. The tasting was a bonus too. The bus trip bring you through some of the most beautiful landscapes and by impressive chateaux. Well worth it.

Amazing wine tour with great guide and diverse wines and vineyards. Safe, professional and good value for money.

Really great experience despite bad weather. Didn’t really see the grape vines up close but it was heavily raining so understood why they may not want people trampling through the vineyards. The whole process was talked through with opportunities to take photos the whole time, ask questions and buy souvenirs with no pressure as they understood wine is difficult to travel with.

The city of Bordeaux was beautiful. As well as the town of St Emilion. And the winery was enjoyable.

Judit_G

Amazing trip to a beautiful little village of Saint Emilion and a fantastic tour of a chateau vineyard. Our tour guide was brilliant, she gave us great facts and stories and the bus ride. The bus itself was clean and air-conditioned. We got 45 minutes of free time in the village, I wish this was longer (but this is only half day tour). The Winemaker at the vineyard was phenomenal, he was funny and really made us feel welcome also giving us the history of the chateau and the winemaking process - and a little magic ;) we got to taste 2 lovely wines. You can purchase a bottle if you please. The bus dropped back to Bordeaux tourist office. Highly recommend, excellent tour for excellence price.

Tasting tour shows both a traditional vineyard and a very modern vineyard. Tour was an excellent value.

Cheryl_P

It was awful...boring information on and on...at first stop, in 2 languages,even though all participants only spoke English and the lady from winery also spoke English...they were filling time. Finally you got to taste wine!! Next better..more organised. But your photo looked like small group..but 51 people..seriously..never again.

We booked for an English language tour, but in the event, it was in English and French. This meant that our guide had to do twice as much work, by explaining everything twice. The guide was excellent, but there was a lot of standing around during the explanations, which at our age (70+) is not easy. I was also disappointed that the tour did not provide the endless vistas of vineyards that I have seen elsewhere in France. We were taken to two small vineyards which were right on the edges of the Entre-Deux-Mers region. We did not get the sense of being in one of the world's major wine-growing regions.

Very informative, great wine, stunning scenery. We had a great afternoon and learnt a lot about the making of wine

The trip was 60 euros and was not worth half of that. The tour guide was lovely and friendly but the 2 tours were not great. They also made you listen to them for an hour before giving you a tiny amount of wine!! It was the most expensive halve glass of wine I have evr had!
