Nice day at St Emillion
Mary_C, Nov 2024
We visited two Grand Cru Classe wineries, one offered tasty wines with lunch. A relaxing afternoon at St Emillion old town and we were given ample time to walk around. A nice day to explore this UNSECO town.

Chateaux personnel were informative.
Choice of venues contrasted modern winemaking techniques with older traditional techniques.
Exclusive access to Historical St. Emillon which itself has become quite touristy.
Very disappointing tour guide. Our tour consisted of 7/8 English speaking guests and 1/8 French speakers (whom were bilingual) but the guide spoke mainly French throughout the trip with short cursory explanations of what she had spoken.

This trip was amazing! Beautiful views, gorgeous little village and delicious wine!
Laurence, was faboulous! Very knowledgable and funny! She made the trip very interesting. This trip is "must do" when you're visiting Bordeaux! You will not regret it!
Disappointing

Sold as small group and English the group size was more than 15 and in 2 languages meaning we were staning on our feet twice as long. At least twice we just stood in same place for over 1.2 hrs. My feet were aching and this left less free time to explore. The winery lunch was tasty.
A thoroughly enjoyable day visiting...
Elizabeth C, Nov 2024
A thoroughly enjoyable day visiting 2 vineyards and the charming town of St Emilion with informative explanations of wine making in the 2 Chateaux, tastings of the wine produced, a lovely lunch and an interesting visit to the sites in St Emilion - the highlight of our holiday to Bordeaux. The guide at the second Chateaux made the day for us with his generous spirit and hospitality. Tres bien!
