Fantastic 5.0

Our guide, Carol, was very kind and provided informative explanations about the wineries. We visited two wineries, both of which were quite sophisticated and distinctly different, making for an excellent comparison.

Great visit, the museum was interactive with many types of exhibits. The ticket also came with a free wine at the rooftop which had a good view of the city.

Fantastic 5.0

Although I haven't been a wine lover for long, I'd heard a lot about Bordeaux, so I signed up for a winery tour. Despite struggling with the hotter-than-expected weather, I was glad to gain valuable experience and useful knowledge. It was especially worthwhile to taste 3-4 types of wine and see the entire process from vineyard to production. My only regret is that I didn't have enough time to explore Saint-Émilion at a leisurely pace. This seems to be due to the significant travel time, so perhaps next time I'll visit Saint-Émilion separately.
