3.00The guide and tastings were good, the 2 issues I had were, 1) the minibus was way to small for the group of 8, and 2) the snacks provided were very minimal and shared vs individual serving.

5.00We visited 2 wineries and had a short visit to the village of St Emilion. Our experience was great- Vincent is super knowledgeable and passionate and wine and his English is excellent. It was an extremely hot day but the van was air conditioned and Vincent took measures to make sure we were as comfortable as possible (like giving us information inside the church instead of outside and starting the van before we got there to have the AC blasting). We enjoyed the wine and experience at both wineries, especially the first one (Chatelet). I could see how some people may complain that the time spent in the village is too short but as part of a half day tour it was fine. Plus it was too hot to walk around. The meeting point was easy to get to from city centre. A half day well spent for sure!
A wonderful day

5.00Great half a day. Visited 2 vineyards, a Grand Cru chateau then a smaller family run vineyard. Sofia was really wonderful, she gave us a very detailed history of Bordeaux and the different types of grape varieties during the 45min mini-bus ride. We did 4 tastings at the first vineyard then 3 at the second. Was a lovely half day!
A really great afternoon trip from Bordeaux

5.00Vincent is such an excellent guide - really knowledgable but accessible too and even my 13 year old daughter (who wasn’t drinking and not particularly enthusiastic beforehand about the trip thought it was a fun afternoon out). We learned so much about the Bordeaux region and winemaking. The vineyards we visited were really interesting and friendly and Saint Emilion is beautiful too. Highly recommended.
