The most wonderful day out in the vineyards
JanP966, Nov 2024
This was anticipated to be the highlight and even the main purpose of our visit to Bordeaux and Catherine our guide made it absolutely so. She picked us up at our hotel in her lovely Range Rover, stopped off for a special local treat from the bakery en route and gave us lots of information about the history of the area and the appellations as we went. We visited 3 wineries each quite different from the others but all very interesting and worthwhile. The first one was especially lovely with a tasting of 5 wines inside the chateau. At the second and third , we saw the harvest in full flow as well as tasting more delicious wine. Between the first and second we had a lovely lunch in a restaurant just outside St Emilion which was delightful. Just a brilliant day, superbly organised and executed by Catherine. We would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a private tour experience.

Great wine tours and guide
elizabeth_joslin01, Nov 2024
Our group of 13 (8 adults and 5 kids) took two tours during a weeklong visit to Bordeaux. One day to Saint Emilion and one to Medoc. Our guide, Margaux, was absolutely fantastic. Our group needed a lot of accommodations for the meals because our group included young kids and vegans. Margaux made sure everyone had delicious food to eat and the lunches on the tour days were some of the best meals we had in France. She also made sure that the kids had a place to hang out while the adults were learning about and tasting the wine. Margaux also accommodated our requests throughout both days including particular châteaux we wanted to see and adapting the tours so that we weren’t getting repeat information at each location. Margaux and our driver, Rashid, were patient with our large group and made both days a lot of fun. I would absolutely recommend tours with this company!
