Absolutely best day with Gilbert from Bordeaux Wine Trails. They tailored the day to accommodate our two kids, ages 7 & 10. We were all engaged and learned a lot! They kids enjoyed the treats and interactive experiences throughout and we appreciated visiting smaller chateaux and having more intimate tasting experiences. A day we’ll never forget, thanks to Gilbert!

We had a delightful tour of St Emilion with a total of 7 guests. The 2 wineries were small family run operations and we were able to meet directly with the owner/operator in one case. Our guide, Gilbert was fantastic and brought first hand knowlege and humor to our tour. Highly recommend!

Our wine tour to the Saint-Émilion region was fantastic. A big thank you to our guide François, who shared his vast knowledge and made this experience unforgetable. We visited two wineries, one using classical wine making methods, and one using contemporary methods. We learned so much about the production of wine, and what makes Saint-Émilion wines unique.

Our host was great. We liked the small winery he chose as our second tour, but not so much the first one, although the Chateau was lovely.

The landscape was beautiful, the explanation abour the wine production and tasting by Frank - very good. Stay in the town of Saint Emilion too short. Our guide did not explain very much. He was more a driver...nice person, but not guide

Francois our host and driver was exceptional. His knowledge of wine and areas of France was vast. The hosts at the vineyards were fabulous. Francois gave us a personal tour through St Emilion which was very interesting. Finally at the last tasting he prepared an aperitif for us. The conversation in the group was great and none of us wanted to leave. Merci Francois!

St. Emilion was a wonderful tour that included 2 wineries. Our guide, Gilbert, was delightful, knowledgeable, and fun. We were also provided with some snacks after our 2nd winery. Lovely day!
