An experience among the vineyards to be replicated🌞🍇 - Special day in the Bordeaux vineyards. Visit to a particular chateaux with personal tasting in the center of Saint Emilion. Guide (Jean Claud) very good, friendly, prepared and attentive to the needs of the whole group. We had a child with us and they even found the right seat for us!

excellent tour guide and wine - We ended up with private tour of two. The guide girl (we should have gotten her name), was very knowledgeable about the wine and entire area. The winery was very cozy small production one, and wine was excellent. we had them to ship the wine to our home.
I would highly recommend to book this tour. Especially, we finished this in the morning and we had whole afternoon to go to wine museum and other activities In fact, she dropped us off at the wine museum and we were able to go right in.

An exceptional tour of the vineyards and the village of St. Emillion - I am extremely happy to have decided of taking a tour with 'Bordeaux wine trails'. The entire tour was very well organised and professionally managed.
A special shout-out to Clèment, our tour guide. He was a treasure trove of information. Warm, friendly and patient with all our questions, Clèment was easily the nicest thing in the tour.
We wish to be back to Bordeaux, and 'Bordeaux wine trails'.

Fantastic Saint Emilion tour - We did quite a few wine tours this trip and this one was far and away the best. We had the most wonderful guide in Mel, who took us to a chateau in Saint Emilion with a fascinating host who taught us more about wine in one hour than all the other tours put together. The wine was delicious. Then Mel took us into the gorgeous mediaeval town of Saint Emilion and showed us around then gave us free time. We would definitely recommend.

Must-do wine tour! - Our visit to Saint-Emilion on a rainy Saturday morning was nothing short of amazing.
Mel was our guide for the day and she went above and beyond to share the passion for what Bordeaux and its surrounding towns have to offer. Super knowledgeable, fun and engaging.
Ahead of our guided tour around Saint-Emilion we were lucky enough to visit "Chateau Bonalgue" in Pomerol and discover (and taste!) their range of wines lead by one of their family members -- I can´t quite remember the name of the person in the Chateau, I´m very sorry. Thank you again for your hospitality and for showing us around!
When we arrived to Saint-Emilion, Mel came to the rescue once more with more history & facts about the places we where exploring. Thanks a million for all your help & recommendations, Mel.
We would 100% book this experience again (or a similar one run by BWT) if we go back to Bordeaux. And you should too!

Highly recommend for a quick stop over in Bordeaux - If you are only visiting for a short time, then I highly recommend this tour.
You get to have a quick glimpse and the stunning village of Saint Emilion and some of it’s history.
The winery we went to was very nice and decent wines. However, it would have been a nice experience to attend a more established Chatau since we only get to go to one winery on this tour.
Our guide (Marie) was amazing! Very knowledgable and passionate about wine and the region.
We did feel quite rushed during the tour as well, but respect that the guides have time limit to stick to.
Overall, highly recommend this tour!
