Our guide, Hugo , was fantastic. His knowledge was excellent and he spoke perfect English. He had all kinds of interesting facts about the region and wines in general. The small chateau we visited was wonderful and actually preferable to a much larger chateau

Very informative tour of the Bordeaux Right Bank vineyards and the town of St. Emilion. Carol provided a lot of great information about the vineyards, town, and the rules, processes and implementation of the wine rating system. We tasted 4 wines, and got to compare vintages and methods.

Luigi, our guide was excellent. He combined the history of the area and the wine making process into a fantastic excursion. He also was very good about discussing the different wines that we tasted. He did stop entertaining us until he dropped us off.
