"We had an amazing wine tour from Bordeaux to Saint-Émilion, and our guide, Thibault, made the experience truly unforgettable. From the moment we left Bordeaux, he kept us entertained with his wonderful sense of humor while sharing fascinating stories about wine, the region's history, local traditions, and the cultural background of Saint-Émilion. His voice was clear and easy to hear both in the van and at every stop, and his knowledge was incredibly broad and impressive. You could tell he was genuinely passionate about the region and its wines. The time flew by because every explanation was engaging and enjoyable. Thibault also knew all the best photo spots and kindly offered to take family pictures for us, which we really appreciated. His attention to detail and thoughtfulness made the tour even more special. If you're looking for a fun, informative, and memorable wine tour, I highly recommend this one. Thank you, Thibault, for such a fantastic day!"

What Travelers Say
"What a fantastic tour. The minibus was air conditioned on an extremely hot day. We were a group of 6 with guide Gabriel. He was very knowledgable and easy natured. The tour takes you to a beautiful chateau where you taste 4 different wines and a small selection of cheese and chocolate. The house and grounds are beautiful and the staff were lovely. We then went st emilion which is stunningly beautiful. Gabriel continued to guide and this was much appreciated. We would definitely recommend this tour as value for money and a relaxing day."
