An entertaining afternoon with great wine! - Booked this half day tour during our free day in Bordeaux during a river cruise. We looked specifically for the Pessac-Leognan appellation because we enjoy both red and white wines from this region. The private tour included visits to two excellent family-run wineries with full tours of their wine-making process as well as wine tastings. We were accompanied by our chauffeur of the tour who drove us around Bordeaux in a classic 2CV - an engaging college student from Eastern France who spoke excellent English and shared his local experience with us. Thank you Achilles for the excellent tour! We will toast you tonight as we enjoy our wine with dinner!
