Great mix of high quality moderate to family sized chateaux, flows of countryside, delightful lunch, nice break in the middle at colorful medieval St. Emilion village. Alex was expert in wines and history, really added to day

5Winning wine tour
Several months ago I booked the Graves & St. Emilion full day tour on-line which was very easy and straightforward to do. They kept me informed of the upcoming trip. I met the small group at the Bordeaux tourist office which was around the corner from my hotel. Johnathon was the group leader for our small group of 7. Everyone was so enjoyable and Johnathon was knowledgeable, professional and amicable. He took us to 3 boutique wineries all of which were lovely hosted by true wine professionals. I learned so much too. Lunch was included at one of the wineries and we also had time to explore the city center of St. Emilion. I would highly recommend this tour. Came as strangers and left as friends and had a blast drinking fantastic wines together.

About Bordeaux
Bordeaux, on the Garonne in south-west France, is a stone-fronted port city and the centre of one of the world's great wine regions.
The pale limestone façades of the eighteenth century give Bordeaux an elegant, even look, and the curve of the Garonne, the Port of the Moon, is part of its UNESCO listing. Place de la Bourse faces the river, and the Miroir d'eau, a shallow reflecting pool, mirrors it. The Grand Théâtre, Saint-André Cathedral with its separate Pey-Berland tower, and the long pedestrian Rue Sainte-Catherine make up the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Bordeaux: Place de la Bourse (Place Royale), Porte Cailhau, Grosse Cloche.
