    We had a great time on this tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information prior to arrival at the wineries. The van was comfortable, we stopped at St Emilion for a short visit and then went to 3 wineries. We had plenty of time on all wineries and had a picnic under the trees close to the vineyard. The wines were great and the staff at the wineries were very friendly.
