Fabulous small-group experience

Commenté le 04/07/2024

This was such an enjoyable experience. It was so nice to have a small group (7 people) - it almost felt like a custom private tour. The winery was a small boutique organic winery. The winery host made a good presentation and came across as very authentic and uncommercial. She specially selected wines to compare 2016 and 2018 vintages. Enjoyed the walking tour of St. Emilion. Our tour guide Emmanuel was very personable and well-informed. He engaged the group in dialogue. I especially appreciate that his tour company emphasizes sustainability and organic wineries. All in all, I'd highly recommend this tour!
