Fantastic trip with family - We had the most wonderful vineyard tour in Saint-Émilion with Sylvie to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday. She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and made the whole experience feel special and personal. From the beautiful vineyards to the rich history and amazing wines, everything was perfectly curated. Sylvie’s passion really shines through, and she made sure my dad felt celebrated throughout the day. A truly memorable experience we’ll cherish—highly recommend!

Fun Day in St Emilion! - The experience is a full day and well worth it. We considered renting a car & doing our own thing. So glad we didn’t.
Our guide, Margaux, was very good. It was a fun and easy day with visits to 3 chateaux (plus lunch at the first stop) Each chateaux was unique and interesting and the wine tastings were great. The hosts at each vineyard were pleasant and accommodating. We learned a lot. Also a walk around the village of St Emilion which was beautiful. Margaux was knowledgeable about wines and the history of the area. Personable and entertaining. Overall it was a great day.
PS. It started to rain on our way back to Bordeaux. Margaux was kind enough to drop us at our hotel.

Wonderful day with lots of wine!!! - Paseo departed at 9:30 in point, returning around 16:30. Hugo was an exceptional guide, making our experience incredible. The food doesn't like to be served hot, so that left a little to be desired. Moreover, we took advantage of 3 tasting in different wineries and we met Saint Emillion, which is already a spectacle apart. Along with the guide was quite easy understanding and to know the culture and legends.
Super indico. Even because nothing in Bourdeaux can be booked last minute.

Fun & Informative - This tour was so much fun. Our guide drove us to St. Emilion for a short walking tour and briefed us about the town before he released us to explore on our own for 30 minutes. The town is very tiny so that was enough time. Then we drove to 3 different chateaus and experienced 3 unique wine tastings. Our driver talked about the region and the countless vines; we learned alot. Each of the winery guides was very knowledgeable and entertaining. They prepared a lovely lunch for us which included a bottle of wine. Very reasonable shipping rates so we bought some wine to ship back to the states. The small group size allowed for an enjoyable experience as well.

Great tour of Saint-Émilion - Xavier was our guide and he was fantastic. He first drove us out of Bordeaux and around the countryside surrounding Saint-Émilion, giving us tidbits about the history and the wine classification system of the area. We then saw the town, which is beautiful and historic, with some free time to spend seeing things in greater detail, followed by three chateaux visits and a picnic at one. Would recommend this experience to all with an interest in wine.

This Tour is a MUST Do!! - This was an amazing tour! We started in the village and our guide, Margaux, shared history on the Bordeaux relationship with England. We saw underground caves and visited a great bakery. We then visited three beautiful wineries - fantastic wine. We all left with plenty of bottles of wine :)
