Summary: If you enjoy good wines and good company, this tour is well worth the price and will be a highlight of your visit to the Bordeaux region. Our guide, Dulce, was fun and very knowledgeable about wine and the history of the winery chateaux. The lunch stop in the World Heritage site of the village of Saint Emilion was outstanding. I would highly recommend the tour.

Summary: A wonderful way to see and learn about the wine regions around Bordeaux. You have a wonderful host who has a deep and wonderful understanding of wine, the regions, food and will look after you for the entire day. The tour is well balanced across the day with some free time in the middle to wander to explore St Emilion, grab some lunch or see the sites. We really enjoyed the day. We were joined by a small group of other international couples and had a great time, everyone was friendly, engaging and we enjoyed every bit of the day. The cost of the tour was reflective of the small group and experiences of the day, well worth the investment.
