This was a fun way to experience France's wine country. It could have lasted a bit longer and maybe offered another winery and some food with the wine. For the money, though, it's a great deal.

Two vineyards were visited. There was plenty of time at both and we had a very knowledgeable guide. We were fortunate because they were picking the grapes when we went on the tour. Worth doing.

Overall the trip was good. Our only complaint was that only the second winery produced truly quality wines.

The trip itself was Ok and St. Emilion is a nice city. However, we had a lot of problems in the beginning because the trip was overbooked, and we only got to go because someone else gave back their tickets. This problem was due to the fact that Viator accepted our booking too late. So I would book the trip next time very early.

We went to 2 chateaus; I preferred the first one, which was Krivan. The person in charge of the vineyard gave us a very well-informed tour of wine making. However, the other interesting modern art chateau didn't have very good wine. If they could skip the explanation of the weird art sculptures and head to another chateau for wine-tasting, it would be much much more worth it.

The tour guide was very nice and professional, but the tour was short - only 3.5 hours excluding transport. In the chateau, there were too many people, so we had to wait ages to get a glass of wine. I thought the wine would be flowing as the tour cost so much, but we got two glasses that were one-third full. It was a nice experience, but I think it was too expensive for what we got. I would be slow to recommend it to someone!

Too much time was spent in the bus. The English / French guide was unclear, it was difficult to hear what she was saying in English. In my experience wine tasting tours are about tasting wine. After the two wineries I think I might have tasted a glass and a half of 5 wines in total.
