Excellent wine tasting tour
marjoriek681,May 31, 2026

5.00Four of us went on this four hour afternoon tour. Our guide Ludmilla was excellent - very knowledgeable and friendly, and very attentive to the comfort of all. The tour started with a drive of around half an hour in a comfortable a/c vehicle to reach the first vineyard, where we were shown the vines in their bio- diverse setting, and given a full explanation of the wine making process. The wine tasting session that followed ( for different wines) was very informative and relaxed. We were then taken to the second vineyard which has organic status. Different elements of winemaking in this environment were explained, followed by another tasting of four different wines. All in all this was an excellent trip and is highly recommended!
Excellent and insightful tour

5.00Vert Bordeaux and Emmanuel were very helpful and picked out some very special experiences for us that we would not have gotten anywhere else. Their commitment to ecologically friendly wines and winemakers is refreshing. All of our excursions were so interesting and personal with the information coming straight from the winemakers or those who worked closely with them. Emmanuel was very knowledgeable about the history of not only Bordeaux but also the surrounding areas and had excellent recommendations for us to do on our own. It was so much fun every day with him.

Hidden Gem of Bordeaux

5.00This trip is a hidden gem of Bordeaux. This is a wine and local culture trip. Emmanuel, our guide put a great deal of time and effort into creating an experience that far exceeded our expectations. The winery we visited was not just another “this is how we make wine” lecture. We met the owners, their new born baby, and walked through the vineyards with them and their dog. The other venues were equally unique, personal, and memorable. I wish I had more time in Bordeaux to experience his other offerings.
