Perhaps one of the best wines tours I’ve been on

Vincent was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining

The quality of the wine was in some cases exceptional

The district and town is so beautiful

A very cultural and friendly experience. It was nice to learn about wine from the guide and chat with fellow guests and hosts.

The visits to wineries were all excellent. We went to 3 in totsal and all were very educational and fun! Muriel at the winery, chateau rose des vents was superb, as was the host at Chateau Chatelet. It was great to see the differences between small, family-run Chateaux and the larger corporate Chateau. We had a very nice “picnic” at Chateau Rose des vents. I say picnic which conjures the image of a scotch egg and a picnic rug, but our lunch was on a long set table under a tree with locally sourced cheeses, hams, bread, pate and of course wine, all beautifully presented under the shade of a walnut tree. Our host. I old was very good, answered all questions, and kept us all on time by driving us from chateau to chateau in an air-conditioned minibus

Absolutely fabulous day with Nicole as our guide! The whole day was well planned, informative and interesting. Met some great people at the three châteaus we visited and got to sample some very nice wines along the way. The picnic lunch was amazing, enjoyed with a glass of wine next to the vines! Will definitely use Oolala again when we next visit Bordeaux - highly recommended 😊

This was an amazing tour. While pricey- the driver took us to three vineyards for tastings and provided a picnic lunch. Lunch was good- some cheeses, bread, cold rice and chicken salad mix and an apple dessert.

Overall, I think it was worth it. Having a driver and having the tasting arranged was good. Wish we visited one vineyard with cheaper wines though- all were €50+ a bottle so it’s hard to justify that price to ship, when all vineyards required a minimum 6 bottles to ship.
