Reviews
The wine tasting tour was a great experience. The chateau was exceptional, the wines were well chosen, and Mathis was very knowledgeable and accomodating. Worth the visit!!
The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and the itinerary was well-planned. They even picked some grapes for us to try, which was a unique and memorable experience.
The tour guide is very professional and has rich knowledge of red wine~ The winery’s tasting room and equipment are also in good condition, and the introduction is from simple to advanced so that even those who are not familiar with red wine can understand it. The village is small but there are many wine shops where you can buy wine~
We visited Chateau Bellevue. The guide was very knowledgeable and we tasted 2 different wines. There was a short stop in Saint-Emillion town before heading back to Bordeaux. Value for money.
Wine, something you often see in Taiwanese supermarkets but don't know how to choose, after today's tour, I've become an expert who can show off my knowledge back in Taiwan. Here, I strongly, strongly recommend our guide, "Stanislas." Not only does he have professional wine knowledge, but his friendly attitude made us unafraid to ask questions throughout the entire tour. I will come again, Bordeaux.
this short trip to Saint Emilion was a great decision👍🏻 the ride was around 45 mins and Kris was really nice! 😊 we went to the chateau and learnt about the process of wine making. we also did a wine tasting, tried 4 bottles! after the chateau, we had a short walk around Saint emilion village where we get to buy some snacks and take photos😆
Due to schedule restrictions, I joined the afternoon English tour. I didn't speak any English and only understood a little French, but the guide spoke in English and explained things to me in French, so it was a very kind and fun tour. I also had a lot of fun talking in the car. I highly recommend it! It's a fun tour♪
I had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Hugo is amazing. He is very knowledgeable about wine and catefully explained everything we need to know about the wine produced in the region. He also shared some information about Saint Emilion. Lovely medieval town!
It's very convenient. You can go directly from the city center to St Emilion and visit the mountain town and winery. It's a fulfilling half day and it's worth recommending.
Amazing tour guide, Carol was a wealth of information. we stopped at the village of Saint Emilion, but we only had 50 minutes to explore. The chateau was beautiful with a quality wine tasting of 4 wines, one rose and 3 reds. The transfer was in an 8 seater mini van, which was full but still comfortable. i would highly recommend doing a full day tour so you don’t feel so rushed, however if you are limited for time this might be perfect for you.
