Reviews
Wonderful tour with Anne as our guide in St. Emilion for the day. She was very knowledgeable regarding the wines, the chateaus, phenomenal choices (including the lunch recommendations and wine shops to explore), and the people we met. We visited family owned chateaus with winemakers/owners passionate about making fantastic world class wines for centuries/generations. Our guide was incredible and her English was impeccable. St. Emilion is a stunning UNESCO site. The Mercedes van used for transport was comfortable and spotless. All in all, this wine tour was one of the best I have been on and a great value.
Wonderful tour to St. Emilion with our guide Rodolphe. We were there in early November and it’s the “low/slow” season, so we ended up being the only two people on the tour for the entire day. Rodolphe made it a great day. We visited three different chateaus, spent time in the charming village of St. Emilion before heading back to Bordeaux. I would certainly recommend this tour to others.
I would like to recommend the 4 hour Saint Emilion tour from Bordeaux. The knowledgeable guide Rudolphe first introduced us to the French wine culture with continuous commentary about the terroir, grapes, and the history of grape growing and wine making. Arriving in Saint Emilion he offered a tour of the church with commentary and then some free time to visit the delightful stores and wine shops in town. We then traveled to the Grand Cru Classe estate of Chateau Bellview established in 1642. There we toured the quaint production facilities including the caves which house the storage of the wines. We were able to see the bottles in the library even ones dating back to 1856. After a class on the art of tasting Bordeaux wines we were able to taste several vintages 2020, 2017 and the 2013, of the estate owners wines. The trip came to an end with a game on the way home of guess the aroma during the trip back to Bordeaux which seem to cut the 50 minute ride down to minutes. Over all a 5 star experience.
