Well, I have lots of experience going on wine tours, so I had my doubts, but Mel and Bordeaux Wine Trails delivered. Mel provided good information, was an excellent driver and had a great spirit. I particularly enjoyed the first tasting, which was a higher rated winery, but the real treat was the winemaker himself and his engaging story. The town of Saint Emilion also fun to visit. Would’ve liked a little more time there. the last winemaker was also quite good, and he had some little bites for us to eat with the wine, which was great.

Clement was a fabulous tour guide (and driver). He is very knowledgeable of the local area and also the intricacies of the wine regions and appellation which he was able to explain to us.
The tour was very relaxed and the wines excellent. A great way to discover this area of Bordeaux.

Clement was a superb guide, very knowledgeable and great company. The hosts of the two wineries were excellent as well. Learned a tremendous amount about winemaking in the region & sampled some wonderful vintages. Saint Emilion on the touristy side, but cute, medieval church striking & the views over wine country spectacular.

Francois was outstanding. He’s not only extremely knowledgeable about wine, but also the history of the region.

A spectacular day of visiting Bordeau and Saint-Emilion wineries with our Tour Guide Maud. Maud is very knowledgeable of the wines, the wineries and the history of this area and spoke in very clear and understandable English. She made excellent suggestions for purchasing wines and we just had wonderful time with her and our group (4 couples all together). At the end of our tour, all of us sat around in a circle sipping our last wine tasting and sharing travel experiences.

We took a tour to explore 2 vineyards/wineries in the region of Saint-Emilion. Our guide (Clement) was very knowledgeable and professional… we had some time to walk around the nearby village on our own

Pleasant van ride to St. Emilion with a fun and knowledgeable guide. We wanted to learn about and taste Bordeaux wines and this afternoon tour on the "right bank" met our expectations. The village of St. Emilion was a scenic stop between the two wineries. We came away with a newly found appreciation of French/Bordeaux winemaking.

Alex was an awesome tour guide and super friendly/knowledgable. The day flew by. Wine was great, area was beautiful, and the snacks at the end were tasty. I think the tour would benefit from extra time in the middle for lunch, but otherwise would definitely recommend this tour

Great small group tour and Alex was a friendly non descriminative guide. The tour was adequate with information and the tasting gave a good idea of a couple of wineries in the area.
Scenery was great and it was sunny so even better. Just a short time in St Emilion but it was fine.
The minibus was comfortable & Alex drove well.
