Terrible weather - and no problems whatsoever. Great experience. Well worth the money. Guide Emanuele- excellent. The ladies at each of the wineries were great. I was impressed the first woman knew about Niagara and its rise to become a prominent place in wine production- in the coming years. The second woman at the winery was funny and tastings were great. The 2016 tasting was excellent. I would say, the 2nd place had many sparkling wines - it would have been nice to taste one. The 3rd place was almost perfect. Great host. Great wine. Tastings were a great choice here.

Thanks to our guide Vincent for a wonderful day touring the St Emilion wine district. He was an enthusistic and knowledgeable host who explained rhe history of the area and wineries and explained the Bordeaux wine classification. The wineries visited for tasting were superb and the lunch delicious with the views over the vineyards. Adding to the occasion. Highly recommended.

Estelle was a brilliant guide and the places we visited were beautiful with great wine and surroundings. The length of time worked out great and we didn’t feel rushed. All in all a perfect trip and we are so glad we fit this in to our short stay in Bordeaux we’d recommend to anyone!

Dan M

My husband and I are fortunate to have been on a few wine tours in different regions around the world. And this wine tour was one of the best (if not the best) we’ve ever been on. Our guide Xavier was FANTASTIC. He worked on a vineyard in a past life and is from Bordeaux so he has vast knowledge of both the region, the vineyards and the wine process. We both learned a TON on this tour. In addition, Xavier was funny and very kind, accommodating all of our additional questions and providing recommendations on what to check out in Bordeaux. The small group size (max 8 people) was perfect for visiting the wineries and tastings. Most of the time, we had the wineries to ourselves which only added to the overall experience. The wineries we visited had knowledgeable, accommodating and wonderful staff. Don’t think, book this tour and ask for Xavier - you will not be disappointed!

I arrived for the tour and was told that it was cancelled. The man in charge told me he sent an email notification but it was 30 minutes before the tour because the guide was sick. I still have not received a refund. Another example of businessmen putting profit above anything else. If I cancelled within 24 hours I forfeit the money but the business can cancel 30 minutes before AND not refund my money?

Sharon C

Our guide was fun and very knowledgeable about the area. We also learned a lot. We would both recommend the tour and guide.

Our guide was very nice and informative. Our drive in the van to Saint-Emilion was nice and we walked around the town; however, didn't get to spend any time alone to stop in a shop. We then went to three wineries but we are not lovers of Merlot so we were not enamored with any of the wines. Because we had extra time, our tour guide drove us around to show us other vineyards but I would have rather had that time in the town.

Terrible.....Operator did not show up at the port as promised and confirm twice. Would never recommend this Operator to anyone.

Our guide Vincent was amazing. He was very entertaining and had great knowledge of the area. We went to three estates and the guides there were very professional and gave detailed information on the wine operations. The lunch was quite good - the appropriate amount of meat and cheeses to go with one of our tastings. I was solo and felt this was a very good way to easily get a feel for the Bordeaux area.
