Thoroughly Recommend This Amazing Tour - We had an amazing tour yesterday with the excellent Lola as our guide. The chateaux were all very accommodating and explained a lot about their wine and processes. Lunch was fantastic and the hour to explore St Emilion was just about right. Great atmosphere in the van between stops and some good tips for our stay too.

A Perfect Day Wine Tasting in Bordeaux - My wife and I had a great and memorable day. Our guide (Clem?) was very knowledgeable about the chateaus, wines and intricacies of wine making in Bordeaux. The gourmet lunch in a vineyard under a share tree was a perfect break. The chateaus made it easy to buy and ship wine back home.

A unique tour offering a breadth of wines from very different winerys. - This is an excellent and engaging tour which has selected unique and different properties to experience and sample a broad breath of wonderful wines. You couldn't be in better hands than with a lecturer in wine! You gain a unique insight into the historical industry and the current market.
A highly recommended tour.

Relaxed, fun, informative and great wine. - We visited three chateaux, the first in Graves, with an emphasis on the wine making process. The second in St Emilion, with an emphasis on tasting. We had an excellent lunch in the shadow of trees, sat in the vineyard.
We had time to explore the beautiful town of St Emilion, before visiting the last chateau, where the emphasis was on drinking wine.
Clement was our guide who was very knowledgeable and fun. All the hosts at the chateaux were friendly and interesting. Whilst there were opportunities to purchase the excellent wine, there was no pressure at all to buy.

Immersive experience - Our guide was fantastic & made an already great tour even better because she knew history, the growing process, vineyard management. And she engaged the tour participants in relevant conversation. Apologies for spelling error… her name is ‘Crystal’. Really appreciated the selection of visits between a large metropolitan Serb vineyard , a very small one starting by a young couple, a final wine tasting at an estate. The village break in between gave time to regroup & enjoy historical architecture/ community. Nice vehicles & pace - all around terrific day.

Couldn’t imagine a better day - Context: couple on a trip, both 28-30 years olds from San Francisco
Our guide Laura was amazing; she was so knowledgeable and smol and cool, you could tell she knew her wine without being snobby about it.
The bikes were great. I often get bored at wineries but the biking intermissions helped to keep my attention and also take in some beautiful views. It was very fun. My partner who is not a strong biker was able to easy get around on the ebike
Overall; coming from San Francisco wanting to do minimal prep for a trip to Bordeaux, this was amazing. It seemed we toured some of the newer, “younger” Chaateus that just met the bar of grand cru, but who tf cares. Having to reserve each individual Chateu would’ve been such a pain, and getting the bikes too. Although the $180 price seems steep, having to just hop in a van and let someone else do the thinking was well worth it.
Also, we don’t eat ham, and their accommodation for our lunch made the entire trip so much better. It really is a curated touch they put on. I’m really happy we did this

Awesome tour and amazing guide - Amazing tour and awesome guide. Alex was knowledgeable and fun, taking us to three wineries for tours and tastings. Lunch was terrific - charcuterie, mushroom tarts, bread, and crepes for dessert. This all-day tour was one of the best we’ve ever done.

Great experience! - We really enjoyed the wine tour. We especially liked the last two wineries that we went to! We were in a comfortable van and had a nice charcuterie lunch/picnic.
