Perfect Tour of St-Emilion and Medoc
matthewf546,Jun 23, 2026

5.00Tahiro was a knowledgeable and expert guide, everything was well planned and organised including a pivot to holding the lunch at a Chateau in an airconditioned fermentation room rather than in the blazing heat. The lunch was perfect with plenty of meat, cheese, bread and fruit. The three chateaus were great choices - something for everyone. We thoroughly recommend this tour, it is a long 9 hours but well paced and we enjoyed every moment, met some new friends and got to see the beautiful village of St -Emilion and rolling vineyards of the Medoc as well.
Fantastic and eventful trip :-)

5.00We took the tour from Bordeaux: 'St.Emilion and Medoc Day Trip with Lunch'. And it was a fantastic trip. The day was well planned and put together with a variety of tours and tastings. Our guide Ismail, was charismatic, friendly and humorous. His professional and relaxed attitude made us feel very welcome. It was a pleasure to have him as our guide. From the start of the day with arrival at the agency until the end of the afternoon, the operation ran very smoothly. They knew what they were doing here. He guided us through interesting facts about the history and present of the region; it was well balanced and informative; Highly recommended... Go and enjoy!
Very good tour operator and...

5.00Very good tour operator and the chosen vineyards were a very good choice; the picnic lunch at the vineyard was one of the best.
Very Long Day

4.00Our guide was fantastic, however, the wineries are all over the place, which leads to a ton of time driving in the van and only 2-3 very small tastings in the afternoon. I recommend doing wineries only in the St. Emileon area and skipping the afternoon part. Additionally, would be great if each winery offered a bit more tasting at each location. I would say it was about 4 hrs total of driving, which was too much for us for only having a limited amount of time in Bordeaux.
Wonderful Bordeaux

5.00An absolute gem! This tour covered 3 appellations and the best way to understand the Bordeaux. Roberto was an excellent guide providing the details we needed to appreciate the history and the classifications system. The mix of Chateau wine tastings provided an opportunity to enjoy some wonderful wines.
Amazing experience!

5.00What a wonderful wine tour experience! I discovered a new love for Merlot. Yev was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience enjoyable and engaging. We had a fantastic picnic under the shade of big trees, which was especially perfect on a 34-degree day. It was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I’d highly recommend it!
Wonderful day of wine and learning

5.00This day-long tour was one of our favorite experiences in SW France! Our guide Chloe was lovely, knowledgeable, and very friendly. We learned SO much. The balance of the day was perfect. Our walk through Saint-Emilion did not feel rushed at all, and our first tasting, at a wine merchant's shop, was a great way to start. The 3 wineries (one in Saint-Emillion, then two chateaus in the Medoc/Left Bank), were each different. Great "picnic lunch", which we ate at a lovely inside table given the rain, was delicious and a perfect accompaniment to the wines. Highly recommended!
