The best part was the wine tasting - excellent wines and descriptions. Also went to a decent winery but it was not that thorough. The actual tour of St. Emilion seemed to be a bit lacking, and was barely anything, perhaps because it was raining. Hugo made this tour more amazing than it was, though. He had excellent knowledge of the region, wine, and even provided recommendations for Bordeaux. In my opinion, he went beyond his job description. The ride was also very seamless and smooth, despite rain.

The tour was truly incredible. Our guide (Ilia) was a real delight. Highly recommend this tour to any and all people who are interested in learning more about the wine process and about the Bordeaux region. It was very relaxing and the people were very kind.

Andrew, our guide, had a wealth of knowledge about the wine making history in the region, the particularities that define Bordeaux wines, and much more. The visit to the Château Tour Baladoz and Château La Croizille (two châteaux on the same estate) included a tour of the historic and modern wine making spaces, and three wines tasting with a panoramic view across the vineyard and rolling hills surrounding the estate. Afterwards, we visited St Émilion, where our guide shared some of the local history, and we got some time to explore freely. More fun facts about the various châteaux in the area on the way back to Bordeaux, and we even played a 'guess the fragrance' game, various aromas samples typically found in wines. A great experience overall, would highly recommend for a morning/afternoon activity if you're short on time.
