Bordeaux Vineyards Wine Tasting Half-Day Trip

This was excellent! Christine was a gem and we really appreciated the warmth and interaction . Highly recommended

Ok but for native French speakers. Translate was not accurate and waste of time in translation. Wine was good

Beautiful view, amazing experience and it was really comfortable for a solo traveler like me! I really enjoyed it, thank you!

excellent tour for the price you pay - we went for half day to the Médoc region. good and cheap way to quickly visit the region and learn so much from the guide about the different wines and Chateau. it also included a tasting of 4 wines at 2 different chateau!

A lovely day out - got to see a lot of the Bordeaux region, Glass on wine and onion soup in St Emilion village

The tour involved just so much talking and history of wine. We didn't really get to taste much, just two wines per vinyard, after standing in cold store rooms for more than an hour each.

It was ‘ok’. The tour guide talked the whole journey, and I mean non-stop, which was a bit annoying. When we arrived at St Emilion, a few of us went to the toilet and told her we were, and asked she wait for us so we could join the tour to the underground church, which was optional. She said ‘yes’ of course, but despite us only taking a few minutes, she walked off without us. We literally had to run to catch up. Don’t say yes, but then leave! The underground church viewing took far too long. What started as interesting, quickly became boring. I’d strongly recommend you opt out and spend the time in the town instead. There’s nothing of interest in there. It’s dark, dank, cold and like I said, biting after about 10 mins. I think we were in there for about half hour!!! We tried to get out but the door was locked, so had to endure it. I wish we’d gone for a glass of wine or shopping in the pretty town instead. We then had about 20 mins in the town before boarding the coach again to go for wine tasting. Again, it was just ok. To call it wine tasting is overdoing it. It was literally a ‘drip’ of wine. We got to test two wines. Nobody expects a glass of wine, not even half or quarter of a glass, but honestly, despite not being a ‘drinker’, it barely wet my lips. Very disappointing. Many people were saying the same thing! It was nice to visit St Emilion, even if briefly. I’d have liked to score higher and be more enthusiastic about it but I can’t.

Beautiful feedback across the whole trip about wine and châteaux. A day to spent if you are in Bordeaux.

I went on Thursday 3rd of October. The guide on the bus was SO good. He didnt just give us a history of Bordeaux that he had read in 5 mins from a lonely planet book as many often do. He gave us history, word etymologies, explained culture and language, al in the trip to the vineyard. Such an excellent guide, very pleasant and professional and didnt even ask if we "could leave a review". The first lady at Chateux Auzac (brown hair) was formidable, a wealth of information, no question she did not know the answer to. The tour was great, and we got to learn a lot about the wine making process. The second location was less commercial so got to see the process a bit. Tour guiding wasnt super like the last one. My only criticism is that we didnt get to go to a vineyard or see any of the processes really of wine making. If possible, this could be added on for when I bring my mum next time! The coach was super clean and comfortable.

Disorganised at the start. Group too large. Guide should have used a marker eg flag to find him. One part was a steep downhill walk - we should have been advised to bring strong shoes. The wine tasting was brief and the group too large. Water should have been offered. The English of the young French woman at the winery wasn’t quite adequate in this setting.
