You'll spend more time in the tour van than actually wine tasting. Lunch was a slice of quiche with a small salad of greens and a glass of mediocre wine. The young woman who led our tasting was not a wine expert by any means, though she was personable. The tours at the chateaus were interesting but not very in-depth about the wines they produced. The wine tastings at the chateau were extremely limited to 2-3 tastes, and they were tiny. There was no chance to buy a glass of wine if you found one to your liking. My suggestion would be to book a car and driver and go to the chateaus you most want to visit on your own.

Both the tasting sessions and the tour were fantastic!

The Bordovino Group that operates this tour was outstanding. Our guide walked us through how to view, taste and smell wines as we tried pure Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and various blends. We had an excellent lunch prior to heading to two outstanding vineyards and a brief tour of St. Emilion. We were very comfortable with our vehicle on a very hot day.

An awesome introduction to French wines, a must do. We spent the morning learning about wine, how to small, taste and enjoy. We had a wonderful home baked lunch and then went to two chateaus for more tasting with a trip to the medieval village of St Emilion. Pierre certainly knew his wine and made the morning very enjoyable indeed. Our guide for the afternoon was Adele and she was also very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great learning experience for the Bordeaux wine region. J was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable and friendly - including other areas of France!

A great tour. Remi was a great guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about wine tasting and wines for different regions of France. He also made it fun too so that it did not matter if you did not have a good knowledge of wines and the different regions. St Emilion was very beautiful and it was great to break up the visit to the two wineries with the visit to St Emilion.

We had the best day of our holiday on this tour. Remi our guide was passionate and knowledge. We started off with learning how to taste like a pro, followed by learning about the regions and distinguishing the flavours and aromas. We had lovely nibbles of cheese, chocolate, sausage and lunch of quiche. Then we headed out to visit 2 Chateaus for more wine tasting and a wander round St Emillion. We would highly recommend this trip. Great value for money too.

This was a terrific day! Our guide Remi was exceptional. We learned so much about French wine, the Bordeaux growing region, the town of St Emilion and we tasted some great French wine. We highly recommend this tour.

LOVED this tour. I was a solo female traveler - and loved every minute of this experience. The lesson was super informative - I am a novice at best. I wish we would have gone to more castle looking chateaus ... but that was quickly forgotten when we had our stop over in St Emilion to check out the CUTEST little old French village. It was a dream!

A great trip! I learned so much and the tourguides and wine experts were all wonderful. We also got to spend time in the very quaint town of St Emilion. The food and the wine were great too!
