“The tour with Hugo was amazing! We were a small group and he brought us with a cool van to three different Chateaux. He shared a lot of interesting stories and shared all his wine knowledge with us, replying to every single question we had with such interesting stories! Definitely worth the money, we found it a it expensive first but the trip, the fine wine selection, the visit to the chateaux and seeing how different they are in making their product, and definitely the guide, make it a wonderful experience!”

“The trip was enhanced by the wife and I, fortunately, being the only people in the party. That aside, Quentin, our guide, was excellent and very knowledgeable. Transport was clean, tidy and comfortable. The trip was well organised. No waiting around. The Chateaux visited were great also. The meal provided was a hearty lunch accompanied by a good bottle of white wine. Being guided around St. Emilion was also a plus. Whilst it is an eight hour excursion, the day will flash by with much to see and do. I highly recommend this trip.”

“Loved this tour. Amazing chateaus. Good guides. The only comment would be that it would have been good to know up front that we could buy wine and ship back to Australia from the tour office. Instead we purchased at cellar doors where the shipping was incredibly expensive. Had we of known we would have purchased from the tour office and shipped heaps home for 50 euro. Otherwise great day”
