Reilly 23, Oct 2025 This tour was definitely better than we were expecting. There is no way you could see & do all of the things we did that day on your own. The wine tastings and vineyard tours were all excellent, and our guide, Carol, was awesome. We did a ton of research before our trip to try to find all the best places to eat… but the 2 spots she sent us to were the top 2 in the end. I absolutely recommend doing this tour as well as the St Emilion full day tour.
5

Guy P 20, Jun 2025 Mathis was a great guide! Enjoyed the expertise that he shared along the way and appreciated his bonus game on the way home! We enjoyed the wines and especially the tours at each stop, learning a bit more at each stop. It was interesting to see what was the same and what was different in terms of processing the grapes across the various locations. Beautiful countryside to enjoy throughout the drive. In terms of value: Lunch on our own was ok -- another tour had lunch included at one of the wineries included in the price -- even though the food itself wasn't our favorite, it definitely added to experience which I think was a miss here. Definitely recommend the Medoc region, and for us, the full day was the right answer!
5

Adam 30, May 2025 Our guide Guy was very knowledgeable and had a welcoming personality. We’d definitely take another tour with him. He showed us around multiple sites in the area between stops on the wine tour and had several ideas for things to do along our tour and several suggestions for things to do in Bordeaux when we got back. All of the wineries were top notch and their staffs were great. We especially enjoyed the second stop on our tour where they let us taste two of the varieties of grapes used to make the wines (Merlot and Cabernet). We also enjoyed exploring the art collections at a few of the vineyards and learning about their history and wine making processes. The only thing that could have been better was a little more time at the last winery. That was towards the end of the day and felt a little more rushed then the first two. Overall great tour. Thanks again Guy.

Andreia S 24, Nov 2024 The tour was on time, as planned and very peaceful. The guide was attentive and careful with everyone. We visited 3 castles, the tastings and instructions were very well executed. I loved the day. Besides getting to know each other and tasting, it was a day of great learning. I highly recommend it.
4

Karen M. 08, Oct 2024 My client used your guide Oct 5th for a full day wine tour. He’s traveled the world and done many tours before. He said by far his guide was the best guide he has ever had, hands down.
5

Mike L 30, Sep 2024 We really enjoyed this tour. Olivier was a great tour guide and offered lots of interesting facts and information about the region. The guides at each chateau were fun and knowledgeable as well. We enjoyed the wines at all three stops and had a fun day overall. Would definitely recommend to others!
5

Laura C. 28, Jul 2024 We did a beautiful tour with Maud, who is very, very knowledgeable as she's been for quite some time in the wine industry, so she was able to explain and answer very technical questions withoutany problem.
We stopped to see some iconic Châteaux which were not in the package, which was a nice surprise. There was no lunch included in this tour but we had some free time to enjoy our own lunch in Pauillac. All the Châteaux we visited were really nice.
5

Akshay Kapoor 10, Jun 2024 As part of our honeymoon we booked a wine tour of the left bank of bordeaux and it could not have been a better experience. Luigi was the best tour guide we have had for a wine tour and made the day memorable. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured each winery experience was optimal. Our entire group had a blast. Would highly recommend!
5

Keren Gardiner 09, Jun 2024 Fabulous tour, really fun and knowledgeable guide Ugo, a great experience and just the perfect mix!
5

Amber Rundle 08, Jun 2024 Amazing tour with Rodolphe. Great tour guide, lots of energy, very knowledgable! Thank you for a great day!
5

Petra V 07, Jun 2024 Hi,
I had a great time on the tour. Medoc was lovely and Justine was a treat! Very knowledgeable, with the right energy, I enjoyed her guidance a lot.
I appreciated the use of a microphone in the minivan, as it's sometimes difficult to hear the guide speaking and this setup fixed that issue perfectly.
I liked the variety of wineries/chateaus visited, every experience was slightly different. The wine selection was also great.
Justine was very accommodating to my needs but made sure it also didn't bother other guests on the tour, so it all worked out well.
What I thought was a nice touch was the little smelling game on the way back to Bordeaux :)
Thank you so much for having me on the tour!
Cheers,
Petra V.

Paul 07, Jun 2024 Our trip to the Medoc region was wonderful. The three wineries offered a variety of experiences, and the choices were great. Our guide was fantastic—very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely worth booking!
5

Bulbul Kumar 05, Jun 2024 Excellent experience! Mathis was a very knowledgeable guide and made us play a fun 'Nose of wine' game in the end. The chateaus we visited were all beautiful and the wines were excellent and generous! The drive was so comfortable and smooth, with a beautiful view of the vineyards all around. It was a beautiful relaxing day. You must book Ophorous!
5

William 02, Jun 2024 Justine did an excellent job of melding the small group together into a talkative bunch with simple questions for people to answer through to a fun testing of smells for red wine as the tour drew to a close. Three chateaux created a contrast, but all were "rooted" in cabernet sauvignon-dominant offerings at tastings, although several of the wines between the three actually had greater amounts of merlot, which was a surprise. Pauillac was surprising small and fun for lunch.
5

Sara P 25, May 2024 This tour is amazing! Andrew was the best driver and guide. He was friendly, professional, funny, and allowed for an absolute great half day tour! The first winery was magnificent. We learned so much about wine production. The wines were also delicious. The second winery was just a tasting. The wines were equally as delicious! The Medoc region was a nice 45/50 minute drive from the center of Bordeaux. We loved this tour. * As an American, this is not the boozy wine tour we are used to in the states. It is simply a tasting. FYI if you are expecting to be able drink glasses of the wine wines you like from the tasting.
5

Fiona & Peter 21, May 2024 Hello
We enjoyed a marvelous tour with Anne to the Medoc on Sunday 19th May.
Her commentary was excellent - knowledgeable, professional and humorous at times, too. She is well spoken and easy to understand.
We enjoyed all the stops, and were delighted to visit Pauillac on the fete d'agneau.

Thank you for a great day out. We will post a Google review when we have better access to it.

Wishing you a busy summer.

Fiona and Peter

Shona MG 21, May 2024 The tour was excellent. The chateaus chosen were all different but interesting and we learnt something at each venue. Our guide Laetitia was excellent showing good people skills, connecting with everyone in the group from three different countries. Her wine knowledge, both local and international was outstanding. Highly
5

Linda M 17, May 2024 All 3 winery visits and wine tastings were interesting and very different. Our guide was wonderful. We had gone on a wine tasting two days before so I was a bit afraid this would just be more of the same. But it was not. It was unique and fun. We even played a wine game in the van on the way back. It was a great day.
5

Mun Jong Choi 12, May 2024 Jerome was the best tour guide!
5

Grace 09, May 2024 Very informational and fun! Best wine tour to experience if you only stay for few days in France :)
5

Vania Matheus 07, May 2024 Clare was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide that is knowledgeable about the wine and the Medoc Region! We loved each winery on the tour and getting to know the difference between French wine and the wines in each appellation as compared with our home town in Napa. A fun filled day with a great tour guide! I highly recommend!!
5

Edmund Vinci 07, May 2024 Absolutely great. Our guide was excellent. Would recommend to everyone

CY 28, Apr 2024 Andrew was very knowledgeable about Bordeaux and an expert on Bordeax wines. He
accomodated with stopping for us to take photos. The chateaus visited were very and
beautiful.

Merci

Marie et Bernard.

Filippo de Claricini 21, Nov 2023 Moud è un eccellente guida ben preparata. Trasporto confortevole è giusto numero di persone. La prima cantina ci ha dato una ottima introduzione sia agronomica che enologica ma solo 2 vino in degustazione senza potersi sedere ne avere un bicchiere d’acqua. Nella seconda invece abbiamo avuto una ottima accoglienza. Nella terza invece di nuovo tutti in piedi. La ns degustazione era aperta anche ad altre persone invece che essere un gruppo ristretto e di nuovo tutto in piedi. Qualitativamente i vini delle prime due cantine mi hanno soddisfatto. Non per la terza.

Human, interesting , open and really authentically honest. Also on time and professional. Knows her wine and could deal with all her guests beautifully.
5

Hamburger Map 18, Sep 2023 A full day trip to Medoc is relaxing with a full hour break for lunch and some top wineries. Guillaume, our guide, was super fun and full of energy and historical knowledge. This tour was slightly more reserved than my previous one but it depends on the group.
5

Tim and Erika Ma 18, Sep 2023 What an amazing day! Rudolphe was on time to meet us at the pier, he was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and so considerate. We highly recommend this tour with Rudolphe.

Thomas Ellis 13, Sep 2023 Just got back home from our private wine tour, what a day!
Our host Rodolphe was a pleasure, friendly guy and made the whole trip for us. I cannot speak more highly of him.
The vineyards were beautiful, so was our lunch and walking tour.
Rodolphe was super passionate and knowledgeable and we will be back
5

Poorinut 10, Sep 2023 Our guide Helen was extremely passionate. Beautiful chateau and vineyards along the way. It’s just the chateau we visited only offered 2 types of wine for tasting. Would be nice if it was more but I was told that it normal everywhere in medoc.

Susan Marr 01, Sep 2023 Rodolphe was very knowledgeable and engaging with the group. He catered well with different levels of understanding of wine. This was an excellent tour.
4

Susan 16, Aug 2023 We thoroughly enjoyed our guide, Emily. She was very knowledgeable, engaging, and thoughtful. The Chateaus we visited were also really good and diverse in their offerings. Our only issue was with lunch. We were dropped in Pualliac and left on our own. The offerings were not what you would expect for being in a world renowned wine region. Please consider adding an exceptional opportunity for lunch to complement the amazing wines in the region.

Emand 24, Jul 2023 This tour exceeded our expectations! Our guide Ilia was so personable and friendly and took us to two different wineries where we had private tastings either the winemakers. It was an incredible experience! He also took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch and dropped us back off to the ship with plenty of time to spare. We would highly recommend to anyone wanting a private unforgettable experience. The van did not have water bottles or WiFi as stated in the description , but the tour still exceeded our expectations!
5

Léon Landry 22, Jul 2023 I recommend this company 100% without hesitation. Their guides are fantastic, the vans are clean and friendly, the groups are small, which makes for good discussions and great encounters. The customer service is exquisite, the responses are quick and the people are attentive. Long live Ophorus!
5

Christos Tattis 19, Jul 2023 Very nice experience. Learned a lot.
5

Andrew 14, Jul 2023 The Chateau’s were beautiful with a good relationship between guide and wineries evident.
The guide (Charles) was very knowledgeable and communicated well with the group.
5

Jessica 09, Jul 2023 Guillaume made our small group tour spectacular! We had fun, drank well and ate well. He could answer all our questions. He really knows the area. HEADS UP: Sunday not as many vineyards are open so you can only visit the one’s that are open. Keep that in mind when booking your trip. A lot of stores are closed on Sunday too.
5

James 05, Jul 2023 It was a really fun and educational wine experience. Our guide Helene was spectacular.
5

Amy MOORHOUSE 05, Jul 2023 We thoroughly enjoyed this tour of the left bank of Bordeaux. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and charismatic. We drove through the area stopping at renowned wineries for photo ops and we had tastings at three different style estates. Lunch was on our own in a small town with recommendations by our guide.. The tour was small with 6 people. I highly recommend this tour and would book it again with Rudolph who was the best guide.
5

James 05, Jul 2023 It was a really fun and educational wine experience. Our guide Helene was spectacular.
5

Maryan 04, Jul 2023 My husband and I loved our trip to Medoc today. Jerome, our guide, is super knowledgeable about wines and the region, and he offered insights into French culture.

5

Mary Anne 04, Jul 2023 We loved our tour with Jerome. He was super funny and knew a lot about wines, the region.
He went out if his way to accommodate everyone’s needs. I highly recommend this tour.

Monica 01, Jul 2023 Very informative- learned a lot about Bordeaux red wines. GuideCharles was great.
Chateaux were beautiful. Lovely lunch in a sea town.
5

Marty S 30, Jun 2023 Very knowledgeable, friendly tour guide (Charles) that spoke well and very pleasant to interact with. He did a great job leading the discussion at each Chateau, during the drives in between along with lunch suggestions. Easy drives between each point too; so we weren’t in the vehicle for too long.
5

Gregg V 28, Jun 2023 Had a great trip with Maud as our guide. Nice balance of driving through the area, visits to 3
chateaus, and lunch in Pauillac.

Yukiko T 26, Jun 2023 This was the first time we visited Bordeaux in France. Our tour guide, Charles was excellent and he is so knowledgeable about Bordeaux wine. We leaned a lot from him. We visited three wineries in Medoc and tasted mainly fine red wines. Thank you Charles, and we definitely we want to come back to Bordeaux!!!
5

Amanda 25, Jun 2023 This was a wonderful tour. Our guide, Charles (Charlie) was timely, friendly and very knowledgeable. The three estates we visited all had something different to offer. I enjoyed each of them. Charlie also have some great restaurant recommendations when we stopped for lunch as well as for Bordeaux when the tour ended.
5

Brenda 19, Jun 2023 While the 3 chateau tours were interesting and wine tastings were delish, lunch in Poullaic (probably wrong spelling) was excellent! My favorite was Chateaux Prieuer Licine. Our guide was Charles, he was amazing, very knowledgeable and congenial. We had 2 hours for lunch and we chose option at a restaurant with outdoor seating. We were able to sit with some tour mates (Karl, Jacquoix, Sam, and Justine) and enjoyed a leisurely lunch. I had the risotto with prawns-fantastic, others had the mussels, hanger steak, pizza, a fish with risotto. Everyone’s lunch was good except my poor husband and his steak-sirloin was overcooked and very tough. The lemon sorbet was delicious and refreshing in the warm day. Medoc region is quite special and Charles was a great part of the experience!
5

James Greener 16, Jun 2023 Great day out. Guillaume, our guide, was very engaging and knowledgeable.
5

Nancy Ramsdell 13, Jun 2023 This was the BEST tour ever! Karin was fantastic! All the tourists were great and Karin had us feeling like family within minutes. Thank you!! This is a definite for your future trip to Bordeaux!!
5

Jeremy Epperson 12, Jun 2023 Rudolphe is amazing. Very knowledgeable, passionate, funny and entertaining. We learned a lot about history and specific details about Bordeaux wine that I wouldn’t have known even with years of studying wine. Highly recommend the tour for a quick trip to a vineyard.
5

Debora 11, Jun 2023 Fabulous wine tastings, beautiful terroir and great information. It was easy to book and
shared the day with other red wine drinkers.
5

Deborah Thurlow 10, Jun 2023 Oliver was quite informative about Bordeaux. We visited three wineries in Medoc. Two with tours and tasting. Each very unique. The third was a tasting only and the best was saved for last. Lunch was on our own. We were given suggestions and our mussels were fabulous. Really enjoyed the day.
5

Jason_R 08, Jun 2023 A fun trip
A really fun day out exploring three vineyards and drinking good wine. Our guide was
excellent and really knew a lot about the area and about the different wines produced in
France.
5

Lagavulin16 04, Jun 2023 Informative tour, even for seasoned wine drinkers!
Our guide Andrew had a wealth of knowledge, and we really enjoyed the tour. We were
hoping for more cab dominant wines on our Medoc tour, but we still enjoyed the chateaux
and tastings!

Kate Mason 02, Jun 2023 5 stars for what was a 10 star tour. ⭐️ Rodolphe was the best.
5

Steve T 01, Jun 2023 We had a great full day tour of the Medoc region with our guide Colas (hopefully I spelled his name correctly!). He was very knowledgeable and also had a good sense of humor which made the driving portions of the tour fun. We had an excellent selection of wineries that included contrasts in style and size on how wine was produced which we felt enhanced our overall experience. A truly great learning and tasting experience and many thanks to Colas and the other 6 members of our tour for this. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Rebecca 28, May 2023 For what we paid we thought we would get a better experience - more information from our
guide and better wines.
5

Bo Bjorkman 22, May 2023 Lite svårt för guiden att få vissa deltagare att fokusera och hålla tider….
5

Andrew 15, May 2023 Our guide, Julie, was knowledgeable, calm, and very polished in her delivery of relevant
information. We visited three wineries and had lunch in Pauillac. Great tour!
5

Liang P 15, May 2023 Wonderful tour. Our guide Luigi was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, organized, and kind. He even prepared a game for all of us to play in the car on our way back to Bordeaux, which was about naming each fragrance contained in little bottles in a box. He clearly memorized what was in each of those numbered bottles. It would be great to have him as my guide again in the future.
5

Will W 14, May 2023 The best tour guide in the region - Andrew
What a brilliant tour of the Medoc region, Andrew was one of the best tour tour guides I have
ever met, engaging and knowledgable making the trip thoroughly enjoyable for the wine
enthusiasts and beginners in our group. Thank you!
5

Marc W 14, May 2023 The day fully live up to our expectations which, in part, which was due to the quality of the Chateaux that we visited but also due to Colas who proved to be an excellent guide for the day.

The only disappointment of the day was Pauillac which was very different to the quaint town that we had envisioned.

All in all we had a great day tasting some fabulous wines including Grande Cru Classe but Chateau Hourtin-Ducasse was a particular highlight.
5

Richard 12, May 2023 It was a very worthwhile trip. Luigi our host was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun
and interesting. We would definitely go again.
5

Lauras J 01, May 2023 Delicious wines at several beautiful chateaux. Nice lunch in Paulliac. Friendly guide that was
knowledgeable about the wine region.

N/A 30, Apr 2023 Excelente guia! Charles, conduziu muito bem todo passeio, conhece muito da região e dos processos dos vinhos. Para o nosso gosto, os vinhos de Médoc deixaram um pouco a desejar. Mas o passeio vale a pena se estiver com dinheiro sobrando.

Jeremia 16, Apr 2023 Great views and Olivier knew everything about the region. I was impressed with his
knowledge about not only the process but the historical significance of it all as well. Varied
stops at Chateau and opportunities to sample different terroir.

Brett G 14, Apr 2023 Wonderful day trip. The guide was fun, engaging, and made the trip a joy. The wineries were
excellent.

Jet 61 27, Mar 2023 Luigi was an awesome guide. He is very knowledgeable about the region and wines. His English is very good and he has a good sense of humor that made the day very enjoyable. The 3 Chateaux's that we visited were wonderful and the suggested lunch options were very good.

Byung Joon Jun 22, Mar 2023 We participated in the Medoc wine tour. At first, we visited one of the Grand Cru Classe, Chateau Marquis de Terme in Margaux, and in the afternoon we visited two chateaus of the Cru Bourgeois, Chateau Malescasse in Pauillac and Chateau Siran in Margaux. Especially after wine tasting at Chateau Malescasse, I learned that wines classified as Cru Bourgeois also have great taste and quality. Monsieur Luigi di Crocco, the sommelier who ran our tour, was a great one-day teacher for me and my wife. While driving to Medoc, he aroused interest with various stories about wine. In particular, while returning to Bordoux after the wine tour in Medoc, we enjoyed quiz game with wine aroma kit prepared by Monsieur Luigi di Crocco. It was very fun and enjoyable game with good lessons for scents, aroma of wine. The organization and operation of the tour program was perfect. It couldn't have been better. Thank you, Mr. Monsieur Luigi di Crocco, for giving us a valuable experience.

N/A 21, Mar 2023 An excellent day touring 3 different wine Château’s in the Medoc area. Great whether you know something or nothing about wine. Lots of interesting information by the guide (Karem) and you get to taste around 6 different wines in all. Lunch isn’t included but the selection of restaurants for lunch is great.

Kerrie C 20, Mar 2023 Thank you, Jerome for an excellent tour of the Médoc châteaus.

This is my second tour with this company and can thoroughly recommend. It is excellent value for money and you have a knowledgeable guide who is happy to answer all your questions. A perfect day out in Bordeaux!
5

Dean J 18, Mar 2023 We used this company for a tour in St Emilion which was absolutely fantastic but we loved Medoc even more!!!! We had Jerome as a guide and he was super knowledgeable and personable. We toured a chateau in Margaux, then one situated between Margaux and St Julien. Then we had lunch in Paulliac at a nice little cafe and then tasted at a third winery in Margaux. It was a very pleasant day and one of the highlights of our trip to Bordeaux!!! Highly recommended!!!

Lea C 13, Mar 2023 Enjoyed our guide and the people on the tour. We learned about the technical aspects of
wine making. Interestingly, I was able to understand why I do not appreciated the left bank
Bordeaux wines as much as right bank and Côte du Rhone varietals.

Darren 13, Mar 2023 I very much enjoyed listening to our tour guide Jerome who was extremely knowledgeable
about the region and the wines produced. From the start he was very friendly and put us at
ease.

Alex Balwin 09, Mar 2023 Terrific tour by Jerome! Really great choice of Chateaus for the wine tastings & tours. Also, Jerome was great with questions and extremely friendly throughout! Cheers!

N/A 30, Nov 2022 Fantastic experience, Jerome our guide was really good and took us to the most beautiful farms and wine tastings.

Graem 31, Oct 2022 Very knowledgeable and helpful English speaking guide. Tour was at a good pace and
plenty of time to wander around each location. Even organised lunch for us which was
good.
5

N/A 24, Aug 2022 The tour with Ugo 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!

Juela Shano 03, May 2022 It was a pleasure for both of us to do the tours of Medoc and Saint Emilion with your team. Special thanks to Emily and Hugo, who made the tour a unique experience - their unique narratives did create for us a "terroir" feel with the two areas in terms of history of wine and people.

William_J 10, Apr 2022 Excellent guide and good choice of château’s.
Camille was a brilliant guide with fantastic knowledge and energy. The choice and diversity of château’s was good.

Ariane Zompa 20, Oct 2021 We had a lot of fun during this day to discover this magnificent region. The many interesting explanations given by our guide Luigi were very useful to us and helped make this day so enjoyable.

teresa_c 05, Oct 2021 Everything was wonderful but our guide made it even more unforgettable.
He was extremely informative and accommodating, we learned a lot from him. Totally worth doing

Deborah_E 03, Oct 2021 Visited great vineyards, tasted wonderful wines, and our guide Luigi was very informative, fun and helpful.

Mary Heath 30, Sep 2021 We had a wonderful day with Luigi. He was very knowledgeable about wine, the process, the area. And a very nice guy! We did a second trip with another company because the timing worked better. We thought Ophorus was better!
5

Matt_H 19, Sep 2021 Great day in the Medoc region. Tour did not feel rushed and there was plenty of time at each location. Each winery was unique in its own way. Our guide was very friendly.

Nanci 26, Jul 2021 It was great, and our guide Chris was wonderful! No criticism to give. I recommend the tour.

Review for: 半日遊 - 下午團（4月至11月）

Recommend to those who love red wine very much and enjoy a little bit history and geology. Very interesting to know how it makes and the different area nearby with different taste of red wines.

Seow Keng 25, Apr 2020 Highly Recommended

Great trip with visitation to 3 vineyards. I enjoyed the wine tasting and the beautiful scenery in the chateau. J was a wonderful guide with lots of information sharing and professional.

Vikrant B 22, Dec 2019 Beautiful experience

The beautiful scenic wineries with loads of knowledge about wine by the tour guide Abdul
Recommend to buy wine bottles from smaller wineries which are very rare to find in your countries but too good at very reasonable price
5

Andre B 16, Nov 2019 Great day

We had Julie, an enologist, she was great, lots of good info on wine classifications and various areas of medoc. We enjoyed our day along with the winery selections, we did buy wines at each stop. For many years we were not Bordeaux wine fans, but this tour changed and opened our minds to this region. Highly recommend this tour for Bordeaux beginners.
5

Susan G 10, Nov 2019 Wonderful tour- the best!

I highly recommend this tour- it far exceeded our expectations and made our visit to Bordeaux so much more enjoyable. Try to ask for Bruno -he was wonderful- so knowledgeable, perky and gracious. His explanations really helped us enjoy what we were seeing and he could answer all of our questions about wine, but also the history of the region as well as of the different chateaus.

We visited 3 very different types of wineries from the elegant to the family run and were able to compare the different styles and wines. He really added a lot to our trip and I think the tour was the best way to see a lot in one day and get oriented.

Katie H 08, Nov 2019 Day well spent

Jerome was a great guide! Went with my three friends for a day trip and it was my first wine tour. I

learned a lot from the individual chateau guides. Make sure you ask questions!

cmorcat576 27, Oct 2019 Don't waste your money

We did a full day wine tour of Medoc. We visited 2 wineries before lunch that were fairly close together. While the wineries themselves were beautiful, we were extremely disappointed with the size of the pours. We had enough for about two sips, not enough to swirl around in your mouth, and not enough to know if you like the wine enough to buy it.

We then went to lunch at a golf club about 45 minutes away from the second winery. Lunch was not included in the price of the tour, which we understood and were fine with. I will simply say that lunch was a complete debacle.

We then went back the way we had come to a third winery. Because of the distance to get to and from lunch, we were late arriving and did not have time to receive a full tour of their wine making facilities. The pours at the the third winery were also quite small. If we put all the wine we were given at the three wineries into one glass it would probably have been less than half a glass in total. Extremely disappointing!

Leila D 14, Oct 2019 Great day!

We have a wonderful time, Angie was fantastic! Definitely can depend on the other people who end up in your group, but luckily we had a nice bunch. I would absolutely recommend this tour - great value for the cost!

Quebec19 30, Sep 2019 Full day visit to wineries in Medoc

The group was small , 6 persons only therefore we had the full attention of our guide Hugo. He was knowledgeable, answered our questions in French and English. The drive with it’s Châteaux and vineyards was amazing. The local guides or hosts at 3 different vineyards were welcoming and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour.
2

Susan (United States) 27, Sep 2019 This was very poorly organized and felt that the value was very poor. The 3 visits were marginal and offered 2 very small samplings of their wines.... we could have visited these chateaux for 1/3 of the price we spent.
5

Peter (Germany) 12, May 2019 Die Tour war sehr interessant.Die Weingüter waren aufgrund ihrer Verschiedenheit sehr gut ausgewählt. Die Reiseleiterin war sehr kompetent und kümmerte sich gut um uns mit ihrer netten und erfrischenden Art!
5

Anonymous (Germany) 02, May 2019 The tour was really informative and interesting, so nice to have access to the chateaus and feel the history & taste the wines. Would do it again! Only reason I gave 4 of 5 is that it was our tour guides first tour with Ophorus and her driving skills weren’t that good. Furthermore she spoke all the way back with another participant in French when I had hoped for some more information.
