“Fantastic tour visiting a small independent vineyard and learning about their heritage and the history of this wine region, followed by a trip to the beautiful medieval town of Saint-Émilion. We enjoyed really interesting tastings in both the vineyard and in one of the wine shops in Saint-Émilion with wines you could never buy in the UK. A wonderful trip led by brilliant tour guide Zoé, who was just as passionate about winemaking as the owners of the vineyard and wine shop. A must do experience if you are visiting the Bordeaux region.”
Pick a kind of day and see what France does best.
