Honestly, this was one of the best value experiences I have ever booked. We couldn't believe our luck when we found this tour for such a low price, especially as all of the others in the area seem to be start at around €50 and extend into the hundreds. Our tour guide was absolutely lovely - funny, interesting and with excellent English. The location is an easy and pretty walk from the centre of the town, and the chateaux itself is small but perfectly formed. The wine we got to taste was delicious and the portions were generous. I would highly recommend this tour, and I am very grateful to the vineyard for offering it at such a reasonable price.

The vineyard is absolutely beautiful. Mathieu, our guide, was ever so pleasant and accommodating. We actually took a wrong turn and ended up being late. He was quick to find us a solution so that we didn’t miss out. Overall lovely wine and highly recommended (definitely recommend going around Saint Emilion before/after your tour; it’s a magical town)

We really enjoyed our experience in Saint Emilion, the picnic was very good, and our guide was very interesting, very knowledgeable, and could easily answer all our questions. The tasting at the end was also very pleasant. Thanks

Excellent experience. Matthieu is so knowledgeable and affable. We really enjoyed our visit.

Excellent visit followed by a beautiful picnic lunch
