“Small group of eight. Guide was helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. Wineries were very nice, yet different. Experience of walking through the village of St Émillion was unique—like going back in time. All the wines were superb. Did not have time to visit the 800 wineries in the grand cru appellation.”

“Very knowledgeable guide. We went to Saint-Émilion for our first stop. The tour was nice. However we only had 40 minutes of free time in the village, which wasn't very much. It was still worth it though. Our second stop was Chateau Champion where we tasted two wines and had a very informative tour around the chateau which was held by the owner.”

“This tour involved some driving to get to Medoc. Mathis was able to set our expectations for this experience as he offered a commentary of the region during our drive. The 3 wineries were very different, which i appreciated. Lunch was in a town nearby the river. It was a very enjoyable and relaxed. Overall I really enjoyed the tour. It left me wanting to explore the region even more. I highly recommend Mathis! He has an encylocpedic grasp of the Medoc region.”
