As our winery visits are prearranged to offer you an exclusive experience, we kindly request your presence 10 minutes before the scheduled departure. Bordeaux's wine tours operate on precise timings due to the high demand and exclusivity of the wineries we visit. In the event of potential delays, please inform us promptly via SMS, phone, or email.

    Yi Sun 09, Dec 2025 It was a lovely tour. Our guide, Stan, was very friendly and shared a lot of wine knowledge with us. The vineyard we visited was historic and located on a hill with beautiful views, and the wines we tasted were excellent. I will definitely use this company again for future vineyard tours !

    Deborah 03, Jul 2025 The Saint-Emilion tour & 3 wineries was a wonderful experience! We had a fabulous guide, Jerome. He was so knowledgeable & funny & charming. It was a terrific group of 8 people from the United States, Ireland & Australia. All very lovely people. Saint-Emilion is a charming town & we spent time (including wine tastings) at 3 very nice wineries. It was a full day trip & I highly recommend it. Great experience so close to Bordeaux!

    John P 10, Feb 2025 The trip overall was wonderful. Rodolphe was an amazing guide. He was very informative and interactive during our tours as well as the drive. We had some rain, so didn’t get to tour the chateaus, but they still made the experience a great time.

    Cinta E 10, Nov 2024 This was really excellent. A small group, and our guide was lovely. We started by going to two chateaux wineries and had tastings and tours of their facilities. Then went to St Emillion for lunch and to explore/free time, then a last winery. It felt very well paced and not like we were rushing anywhere. Really enjoyed it!

    Susanh A 29, Oct 2024 Christal, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice. Even though it was a rainy day she kept it fun. Her driving was very good during heavy rain.

    Hei cheng 17, Sep 2024 Our guide, Oscar, was very nice and friendly and gave us some good recommendations on the resto in saint emilion. We were very lucky to try grand cru classe and taste the difference between saint emilion and pomerol. Bravo! Would like to have another tour to perhaps left bank area like Pauillac.

    Mark 03, Sep 2024 We got picked up a little later that the meet up time but the small wait was well worth it. They have several drivers that they separate the groups into. We had 4 groups of 2 on our van. Good experience with the group. Mostly Americans with a few Canadians on our English tour. Visited 3 different wineries. Not all were officially in Saint Emilion. . We got time for lunch in the city. However, there is no time actually seeing the underground which i had hoped for but perhaps should not have expected.

    Jack 29, Jun 2024 Highly recommend this tour. Karim, our guide, did an excellent job describing the sights as we drove. Just the right balance of information, fun facts, food, walking, and of course wine tasting. Rumors of only getting a small sip or two are unfounded, as we enjoyed more than 10 different wines at three different locations. Vans were comfortable and we were treated to a fun filled completion on our drive back to Bordeaux. 5 Stars!

    Adam Withers 02, Apr 2024 Highly recommend a visit to the wine regions surrounding Bordeaux with Ophorus Tours! I visited both the Medoc (left bank) and Saint Émilion (right bank) on two separate full day tours with Ophorus. Both day trips were fantastic with a knowledgeable guide, comfortable transport, small groups, and visits to stunning Chateaux. Our guide, Laetitia, was fantastic! Laetitia had incredible knowledge and communicated this in an interesting and engaging manner. She was very friendly and extremely helpful in providing great recommendations throughout the day and for the remainder of our stay in Bordeaux. Thank you for making it such a wonderful experience, Laetitia!

    Julie Taylor 01, Apr 2024 Julie was an exceptional guide on our day long tour of three lovely St. Emilion wineries. She is clearly knowledgeable about winemaking and the area. She is a careful driver, fun to talk to and was able to answer our numerous questions. Our small group of Australians, Spaniards and Americans enjoyed getting to know each other during the drive to the wineries and over lunch. Overall, the day was everything we hoped it would be. And, it didn't rain, making it a 5 star day! Merci beaucoup, Julie.

Las catas fueron muy interesantes y la visita a Saint Emilion también. Laetitia nos aconsejó sobre donde comer y, ademas de la visita guiada, tuvimos algo de tiempo para explorar un poco por libre. Recomendaríamos esta experiencia 100%.

    Raquel Enciso 30, Mar 2024 We did the full day tour in Saint Emilion with them. Includes transportation from the center of Bordeaux, three tastings and a guided tour of the city of about 40-45 minutes. It was a great experience! We loved the activity. Our guide Laetitia was charming and is also a great expert on the region and its wines. We learned a lot from her. The tastings were very interesting and so was the visit to Saint Emilion. Laetitia advised us on where to eat and, in addition to the guided tour, we had some time to explore a little on our own. We would recommend this experience 100%.

    Raymond 05, Mar 2024 Fabulous trip of Saint-Emilion. I was worried that because of the rainy down-pour, the tour would be cancelled, but it went ahead and our guide did a fantastic job adapting. The 3 estates we visited were a good variety, but I found the highlight to be the town of Saint-Emilion itself. Some reviewers have found the lunch break in the town to be too long, however, my tip would be to save the big meal for when you get back to Bordeaux and instead grab a quick lunch and make use of the remaining time to explore the beautiful town on your own pace. It's a chance to a more in depth and personal visit of the sites that were introduced and there are so many shops and sights - and especially the marvelous church that's worth a visit.
  • 5
    Alice 05, Mar 2024 The day trip to St. Emilion was outstanding. Anyone taking this tour should request Karim as their guide. His knowledge about the region & wine production is exceptional. He took us to three Chateaus with wonderful wines to sample. We had 2 hours to spend on our own in St. Emilion, dining at Lard et Bauchon- excellent location for lunch and walking the beautiful streets. The town is absolutely stunning. Karim’s wit and charm made the entire experience well worth the investment.

    Kate 02, Mar 2024 We had an incredible day- we learned a lot from our guide and enjoyed the walking tour and the wine.

Rodolphe was an informative tour guide from the start, answered many of our questions, and gave us a history of wine and the region. All three of the Chateaus were lovely and the wine was phenomenal! It was the perfect length and great if you've only got a day in Bordeaux; all 3 of the Chateaus offered a little different perspective on wine. Getting to see the town of St. Emilion was wonderful and having some time to explore and the tour from Rodeolphe was an added bonus.

We visited three wineries on the right bank: Chateau de La Dauphine (Fronsac), Chateau Franc Mayne (Saint Emilion), and Chateau Martinet (Libourne). We felt welcomed by every host along the way; if you're thinking that a Bordeaux wine experience is too pretentious, think again and book this tour!

Bordeaux is one of the best wine regions in France, and the St Emilion region should be on everyone’s bucket list. I highly recommend a guide over trying to do it on your own. They work with many wine house and they want you to get the most out of your day.

    Michelle 04, Nov 2023 It was a lovely day all the way around. We were diverted through Bordeaux on the way to Paris and spent the day doing this tour with Julie as our tour guide. She was polite, professional, drove safely and informed us throughout the day about the history of the region and knew her wine. We did 3 wine stops/tastings all great wine and had 90 minutes to lunch and peruse St Emilion. Afterwards we re-grouped and Julie provided a walking and informative tour of the town. Worth every penny and by far a better tour than we experienced in Napa/Sonoma, CA.

    Michelle McCormick 03, Nov 2023 My husband and I took the Bordeaux: Full-Day St Emilion Wine Tasting Tour on Oct 28, 2023 and unfortunately forgot our lovely tour guides name (too much wine, lol). We enjoyed the tour so much I made sure to reach out to the tour company to request her name was told it was Julie. Julie was on time, professional, prepared, organized, drove safely, followed a great itinerary, kept everyone informed and took care of our group of 8 the entire day. She used a headset to narrate on the way to and throughout the wine region. She engaged with all of us in route to break the ice of everyone not knowing each other. She escorted our group into each winery, stayed with us (instead of just pulling up and saying hop out) and gave us 90 minutes of free time to lunch and shop at our leisure in the village of St Emillion. The we all re-grouped in the village square for a narrated walking tour of the village by Julie. She was full of information all day and impressively conducted our 3rd and final tasting at the end of the day. We were highly impressed!! We went to 3 wineries and the village. It was worth every penny and minute spent! We especially enjoyed the small group and personal experience. She even took the wine we had purchased to our van for us and placed everything in the back to keep organized. This tour far out performed a recent wine tour we took in Napa/Sonoma, California in comparison. A wonderful day all around!!! The tour was great and our guide was a bright, smart, intelligent human being. We wish Julie well in her life and compliment this tour company as well.

    Sabrina Cochrane 01, Nov 2023 We took an excursion to Saint Emilion with the guide Colas and it was very nice. We could tell that he knows a lot about wine and he is very enthusiast about it. He did everything to make us comfortable and welcome and we could learn a lot about wine, Saint Emilion and France during the time that the excursion lasted. I would definitely recommend it to everyone that comes to Bordeaux.

    Matthew 23, Oct 2023 Wow! Our tour was amazing, our guide was so knowledgeable and a local to the Bordeaux area. From start to finish we learned SO much about the area, wine, and just so much info we would have never gotten had we gone on our own. The size of our tour group was perfect as we all got to ask questions and the group was still small. The pace of the tour was perfect as well it did not feel rushed and we had time to eat lunch and explore the town in between wineries.
    We cannot wait to come back and do another tour!

    Hannah Vecseri 16, Oct 2023 Justine is a phenomenal tour guide - friendly and engaging, and highly educational! We took the day trip from Paris, and even though it was a long day, it was 110% worth it. She is so kind and authentic, and made extra stops so that we could get special photo opportunities (as that as important to us). If you are trying do decide whether to take a wine tasting trip in Bordeaux, you should do it - and be sure to book Justine! She is the best of the best and made our trip so memorable!

We learned quite a bit about wine making and about the different vintages. There was also some colorful history to learn about the subterranean tunnels beneath the winery.
    The tasting was a lovely affair, with Helen pouring generously for the guests who enjoyed this.
    Following the vineyard tour Helen took us to the ancient city of St Emilion. There she pointed out various beautiful vistas and also shared more of the history of the region.
    Thank you for an exceptional experience!

    Alex Hoggard 28, Sep 2023 Very informative and friendly. It was a fun tour with lots of wine being tasted. This tour is more about learning the process of wine making and doing wine tasting than about actually seeing the village of St. Emilion but that was ok for me. I learned a lot about wine and the process of making it.

    Marie G. 27, Sep 2023 My friend and I had the pleasure of having Hélène as our tour guide through the Saint-Émilion wine region, and we must say, she exceeded all expectations. Hélène led us through three different wineries, where we gained a deep understanding of the winemaking process. Her knowledge—down to the last grape—was truly impressive.

    What sets Hélène apart, though, is her incredible charisma. She made the tour not just educational but also highly entertaining. Her friendliness and engaging personality made the experience memorable. She deserves all the praise she receives!

    Our small group, limited to eight tourists, created a comfortable and intimate atmosphere. It allowed for more personalized interactions and enhanced the overall experience. And, of course, the wines we tasted were absolutely delicious, showcasing the best of the region.

    I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area—the central and convenient pick-up and drop-off location in front of the Bordeaux tourist office was the icing on the cake. This tour was truly the highlight of our trip to the region!

    As luck would have it we visited one Chateau on its first day of harvest. There was definitely a buzz in the air!
    Every stop during our excursion provided an opportunity to learn more about the wine industry and to enjoy several tastings.
    We would highly recommend this tour and Justine.

We got to visit 3 x chateaus with wine tasting. We really enjoyed the opportunity to see some of the galleries of Saint Emilion. We had enough time in the town to walk around with having a light lunch instead of a sit down restaurant meal. Helen was really knowledgeable and took the time to make her own book with resources and pictures to help explain the process of the wine making and the region. We would definitely recommend this tour with Helen.

    Ashlyn 25, Aug 2023 I enjoyed the tour, and our guide was great! The only thing that could be improved is to mention that it is a red wine tour… I didn’t know the wine regions of France, and if I’d have know that it was only red wine we were to be tasting, I’d have changed my tour. I do enjoy red wine, however it was around 38 degrees and drinking warm red wines was not as enjoyable as a cold white would have been.

    Will C 25, Aug 2023 We had a brilliant day tasting wine at different Château and in Saint Emilion. As well as being lovely and friendly, our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. We left with a lot more knowledge and insight of the wines, Château and winemaking processes. She gave us a quick (which was ideal because it was extremely hot on the day of our tour) guided tour of Saint Emilion which is a stunningly beautiful village.
    The best thing about the tour is, of course, the wine. All the wines we tasted were amazing and it was hard to pick our favourites. However, our guide and the experts from the Châteaus provided excellent commentary on all of the wines which really added to the experience.

    Would highly recommend.

    A perfect insight into the right bank. Go for it!

    Chase 22, Aug 2023 I really enjoyed this tour! My husband felt ill, so I ended up going on the tour by myself and still had a great time. My tour guide Jerome shared a passion and knowledge for wine. It was interesting to learn proper wine tasting technique and what characteristics to look for. We visited 3 châteaus and got to try multiple wines at each! We also stopped for lunch by the St. Emilion cathedral and got to learn about the town. Jerome have a guided tour while driving to each location and shared knowledge of Bordeaux and the wine history of the regions. I’d highly recommend the tour and would go again!

New comfortable vehicle, a great guide with stories and chat throughout. It was just 7 of us so we had a very personalised tour. Each stop was excellent. It was not rushed and we had some free time to expore Saint Emilion town and have lunch. Plenty of recommendations from our guide. Overall a great day out and highly recommended. A half day tour is too rushed.

Karim, our driver and guide was very friendly, knowledgeable on local wines/chateaus and entertained us the whole time. We had enough free time in St. Emilion to explore the village and have lunch. Karim played a little wine aromas game with us on the way back which is a great way to end the trip. For the three chateaus visited, the chateau de la rivière was amazingly beautiful and the chateau Bellevue’s Marlo was our favorite. The last chateau could be little bit better but the overall experience was very nice. I would recommend this tour.

    Margareth 22, Jul 2023 This tour was wonderful! Our tour guide Angie was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Bordeaux and the wine. She was also very friendly and interesting and just a joy to be around. Our tour included 3 winery visits as well as a stop in St Emilion where we had a little over 2 hours to get lunch and explore on our own, which was very nice. St Emilion is really beautiful and we were very glad we got to see this town. I would highly recommend this tour!

    Inspire 21, Jul 2023 From our pickup at the Tourism office to our return our guide Karin was entertaining and full
    of knowledge. The wineries we visited gave us great exposure to the wine making
    techniques in St Emilion. Visit to Pomerol was also fun. Great trip.

    Dimitri 19, Jul 2023 Overall a very interesting experience since it is offer the meaning of Bordeaux area. Very pleasant and knowlegeable driver/guide, Maude. The only negative thing is that the tour doesn't offer enough time to explore the very beautiful village of Saint Emilion, though the title of the tour is "with Sightseeing", specially the megalithic church, the highlight of the village. I think three wine tastings is too much, and this way there will be enough time to enjoy the picturesque village of Saint Emilion.

    Wande Wayo 18, Jul 2023 We had a wonderful tour with Luigi today! He was punctual, polite, very informative on all things wine: vintages, grapes, Chateau numbers, Bordeaux and St Emilion. The drive from Bordeaux to St Emilion was filled with information and insights to prepare us for the day! The caves of Chateau Villemaurine were impressive, our in-house guide was very knowledgeable and patient with all the questions from the group. We also had a great tour group which added to the flavour

    Kirstin Drucker 16, Jul 2023 Hugo, our guide, was so informative and friendly! He was able to answer all of our questions and genuinely cared about giving us a wonderful experience. We did the full day tour that took us to three vineyards and a portion of the day was spent in Saint Émilion (lunch mostly). There were only 8 of us on the tour so it felt private and not overly generic. This is a great tour for a great price so don't hesitate to book!

    Dream 15, Jul 2023 On a recent visit to St. Emilion and the Bordeaux region, our small group of two couples enjoyed two days of tours and wine tastings with our guide Justine. What a tremendous experience! Justine was professional, knowledgable, energetic and friendly. She had excellent restaurant recommendations for our lunch breaks on both days and even made the reservations for us. She was able to answer all our questions about the region and the wines we tasted as well as providing background knowledge before arriving for our tours and tastings. It was clearly evident that Justine loves the wine business and is passionate about sharing her knowledge. Thank you Justine for making our time in St Emilion an incredible and unforgettable experience!!!

We learned so much, had so much fun and I can’t imagine the experience being any better. The wineries we stopped at were carefully selected to give us a brief understanding of how things work in Bordeaux wine country. Saint-Emilion was charming and everything I thought it would be. The rest of the day made it even better!

    Roger Williams 03, Jul 2023 Had a fantastic day touring St Emilion (with one Chateau in Pomerol - Chateau du Tailhas). Tasting great wine in 3 great Chateaux and all very different. Day was really made by Colas who kept the whole day interesting, educational and a lot of fun. Thoroughly recommend this trip.

    John Shelby 30, Jun 2023 Helene’s tour of St. Emilion was great. Her educational approach left me wishing for a mortar board and tassel to prove my graduation from the college of right bank knowledge. She was one groovy chick.

    Practically speaking, she drove well and kept our unruly group on time.

    I wish my school days were as educational and fun.

    The friendly and extremely knowledgeable tour guide made the day so interesting and enjoyable. Not only did Ugo know all about the wine making process but he also shared information about the history of the local area which was fascinating. The wines we tried were varied and the story about each one was very interesting. We also learned some new things about wine tasting.

    Michael_S 04, Jun 2023 A fun time exploring Bordeaux
    Charles was excellent, he consistently provided a high level standard of what a professional tour guide should offer. He was personable, engaging, and authentic. He answered questions anytime. He always was available and would make sure our tour felt worth the price. If you want a fun tour that gives a variety of wineries, and like wine or just want a fun tour in Bordeaux this is it.

    We traveled to the wineries and St. Emilion in a AC car with 3 more people. Karim , our guide was very nice, super knowledgeable and entertained us the whole time. We had plenty of free time in St. Emilion to explore the village and have lunch. We’ve tasted many wines in the 3 wineries we’ve visited and Karim answered all our questions about the wine (industry) in the region. Thank you!

    Annie W 28, May 2023 What a fabulous day thanks to our friendly & informative tour guide/driver, Jerome (Jay). Everything ran smoothly, the mini bus was clean & comfortable & we had loads of fun with our fellow travellers, a family of 5 adults plus a solo traveller. We visited 3 wineries & leisurely explored & enjoyed lunch (not included) in Saint Emilion, a delightful French village. Would definitely recommend this well organised tour.

    Alex Hunter 25, May 2023 Highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Angie, was extremely knowledgeable about the region and led us through a fantastic and informative day. We experienced three vineyards, each with their own unique tasting. Love that we also were able to enjoy independent time in Saint Emilion.

    Janet_S 03, May 2023 What a fantastic time!!! Such a fun and relaxing day thanks to our guide Karim, who is very knowledgable about wine, did a fabulous job keeping everyone engaged and entertained. I enjoyed learning about wine and the region, touring the wineries and of course the wine tastings. At Chateau Palais Cardinal, we had the pleasure of eating different chocolate that complimented the wines we tasted. The highlight was visiting Saint Emilion. Check with the tour company to see when your free time is and maybe you can book a tour of the monolithic church and underground areas through the Saint Emilion Tourism website ahead of time. If you haven't consumed too much wine, be sure to visit the tourism office across from the bell tour and for 2 euros and get the key to climb the bell tower for a spectacular view.

    Mason Wrolstad 25, Apr 2023 Amazing experience in Saint Emilion tasting wine with Karim. He was knowledgable, entertaining, and made the entire experience a lot of fun. Definitely would do this again as I know it's possible to tour other wineries in the area.

    Debbie Zilli 25, Apr 2023 My friend and I booked this tour for our trip to Bordeaux. Our tour guide Valentin was super. He was very knowledgable and a perfect driver. We visited three wineries on our tour and stopped for lunch (not included in the payment). On the way out to the wineries Valentin gave us a lot of information on the wines of the region. He also helped us to pick out a great restaurant for lunch. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting and wanting to visit the wineries of Bordeaux region.
  • 5
    Patrick Strang 24, Apr 2023 One of the best tours I have ever been on. The perfect mix of guided experiences and individual exploration, I would recommend this to anyone remotely interested in wine or the Bordeaux region. We came away from it feeling much more well equipped to buy and taste wine from Bordeaux but also back at home. Looking for scents and tasting notes seemed over our head going into this but we definitely learned what to look for and how the whole process is much more relaxed than we expected.

    Now I’ll get to our tour guide - Karim. It was his birthday the day we went (if you see this, happy birthday again Karim!). He was EXCELLENT - extremely fun and personable, knowledgeable and passionate, and provided us with so much interesting knowledge about the history of the region and the wine production as well as how best to taste the wine itself. Hands down one of the best tour guides I have ever had anywhere. Would love to come back here again and take another tour with Karim.
  • 5
    Paul B. 03, Apr 2023 The Saint Emilion wine tour was fantastic. We saw three wineries with each offering something unique and memorable. Our guide, Jérôme, was similarly excellent. He shared his personal recommendations for both Bordeaux and Paris - making our time in France even more enjoyable (in addition to having more things to do on our next visit). My partner managed to develop a taste for red wine, something that I didn't think would ever happen.

    Judy Gulley 30, Mar 2023 We had a great day with Colas as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and wine and made the day fun.
    We toured 3 wineries and got more information about wine production and tastings than any wine tour we have been on.
    We would highly recommend taking this tour.

    Scott Dailey 30, Mar 2023 Angie, our host was sensational. We weren't in the van five minutes and she said, "...you know the smell of the forrest after a fresh rain? That is the beauty and fragrance of Saint-Emilion." And that was the experience just beginning the drive. Angie is a fountain of knowledge, sure. But that's incidental. I'd expect and frankly insist upon being in the company of a wine expert on a wine tasting tour of Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux. But Angie is not a tour guide. She is a passionate lover of the experiential nature of wine. Hand me a paint brush and I'll convince you in seconds I'm no artist. Hand Angie the keys to a van, fill it with petrol and aim it at Saint-Emilion and Angie is a force. She spoke seemingly limitlessly about how wine transforms any innocuous or monumental moment into a life-long memory. I know this all sounds gratuitous and pretentious, but attend her tours and you will see. Angie is the kind of person you want touring wine country with you.

    My brother and I did an all-day tasting tour at three wineries. In order they were, Château Rol Valentin, Château Franc Mayne, both in Saint-Émilion and Château Ferrand, in Pomerol.

    The first two wineries came before lunch, while Château Ferrand was visited directly following lunch.

    Though the tastings themselves did not comprise a great deal of wine, a small tasting pour per winery, I understood that with thousands of wineries peppering the countryside in Bordeaux, it's important to know that these wineries are largely, if not entirely, labors of love, commonly comprising generations of family producing it. That said, you will be encouraged (politely) to purchase each winery's wine. And yes, I did. Between my brother and I, we bought about three cases of wine (assorted). And yes, all wineries in Bordeaux ship globally.

    Each winery host was gracious, an ardent student of wine, and at each turn stressed the unquestionable quotient of the wine-making process that demands love. The wines were transcendent, of course. But the experience? There's no lens on earth, mounted to any camera on earth that will capture the experience, so just go.

    Drop what you're doing, leave that late report late, or the PowerPoint undone. Book this tour, request Angie be your guide and enjoy! Travel well, My Friends!

Charles was an excellent and informative host; the vineyards and cave we visited were also very good; and we certainly increased our knowledge of wine over the course of the day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ophorus’ wine tours (in fact, we already have to fellow hotel guests!).

    After the second Château we were on our own for several hours in the beautiful little town of St. Emilion. Then on to a third in Fronsac. There is no way we could have done this on our own, especially in a beautiful new Mercedes van.
    All of the wines were excellent! We honestly didn’t expect that!

We were blessed with the fabulous tour guide Virna who was both informative and fun. Also had a great tour group that provided plenty of laughs during the day. Visited 3 lovely chateaus and enjoyed the wine at each. The stunning country side scenery is worth the tour alone. One tip for visitors to St Emillion...wear flat rubber soled shoes as the cobble stoned laneways are steep, uneven & slippery. There's nothing we could have faulted. 10/10!

    His recommendations for lunch are spot-on too! The little town of St. Emilion is gorgeous and perfect for lunch. All the vineyards are just magical and I loved the pride and passion from each and every one of them. Definitely enjoyable and I will come back again for more!

    Saint Emilion was a lovely town. Luigi was very engaging. The quality of the wine tasting /experience was not so good.
    Got off to a great start with Delphine but that was the best. The second who was also an exporter was passionate about his wines but it wasn’t an engaging experience overall. The last stop was limited in tour although a beautiful location. Needs some additional work on having a cellar door. It’s about the customer experience. Potential is amazing. Lovely locations, not good value for money at all.

    It was such a wonderful day. Luigi was a great guide, very helpful. Worth every penny. Visited 3 different vineyards in the St Emilion region and they all had their different style. We tasted 11 (!) wines that day, with many high rated grand cru, grand cru classé and pomerol wines. The walk around the St Emilion village was lovely, and it was great to have a break in the tour to go for lunch. Highly recommend this tour.

    ARWtravel022520 27, Feb 2022 Super informative, delicious wine!
    We had a great time on this full-day tour of Saint Emilion. Our tour guide Emily was so knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much from her just on the ride from Bordeaux to Saint Emilion. Some things of note, we only drank red wine and the wifi was not working on the van. However, they provided water on the van and ample time to explore Saint Emilion and get lunch. On this tour, we did 3 wineries and the experiences were all very different. In total we tried 11-12 wines. (Also we want to thank Emily for the fantastic dinner recommendation. It was our favorite meal in Bordeaux.)

    Severn_S 07, Feb 2022 Will definitely recommend to friends!!!
    Great way to explore and experience Saint Emilion - different types of highly classified wine farms, easy transportation, good time allocation.
    A few tips: Pre-book a lunch spot in Saint Emilion for around 13:30 (places get very full and also start closing around 14:30)

    1Kim007 09, Jan 2022 Super fabulous experience x2
    We went on two wine tasting/tours on back-to-back full days. St. Emilion and Medoc. The entire experience was beyond fabulous! The wineries selected were fantastic. Both days we had lunch in town (St. Julien and Pomerol at wonder restaurants as well as a brief but spectacular tour of St. Emilion as the weather was a bit of a downer. Our guide was Jerome and he is superb. Can’t say enough about his knowledge, wit and professionalism - not to mention his country road driving skills in the rain! We will be back next year (fingers crossed) and we intend to explore more of the Bordeaux region.

    Trip was amazing! Karim was very fun, engaging and knowledgeable. On top of that we visited a couple Grand Cru Classè wineries all with something different to offer and a different take on Saint-Emilion. Highly recommend for wine snobs all the way to beginners!

    Todo estuvo perfecto ! Nuestro guía Lucci fue muy amable, muy conocedor de la región y los vinos (sommelier !), lo que le dio a la visita un plus. Los 3 châteaux que visitamos uno más bonito que el otro, riquísimas las degustaciones y muy muy atentas las tres personas que nos recibieron y mostraron sus lugares . Realmente vale la pena!

    Alyssa 01, Nov 2021 We had such a wonderful time on our all-day tour with Emily! She was funny, super knowledgeable, and there was never a dull moment with her - we even played a fun game on the way back to the city.

    Saint Emilion was absolutely gorgeous and we visited 3 wineries, each with a kind and knowledgeable guide. We were expecting cheap pours lol but were pleasantly surprised with the tastings.

    Very happy that we chose this tour and would definitely recommend - voilà!

    Tamara_L 28, Oct 2021 C’est une belle excursion mais attention ma maman et moi avions réservé la visite en français et nous nous sommes retrouvés dans un groupe anglophone avec les explications en anglais et une traduction sommaire en français... soyez donc vigilant (ou bilingue) lorsque que vous réservez.
    Les paysages sont splendides, le village de st emilion vaut le détour, l’organisation est très bien.

    VisitorfromDC 06, Oct 2021 Our tour guide, Luigi, brought the town and chateaus to life. With his masters in history and being a
    sommelier we got the best of both worlds on this wine tour to Saint Emilion. He helped bring both the village and wineries to life. The small family owned chateau we visited was fantastic.

    chrisd7192 30, Sep 2021 Hubert our guide was fantastic. All the winery guides were also great. Viator went out of their way to accommodate us when we got lost on our way to meet our tour and helped us find our tour in St Emilion. Great, picturesque town, great tour, good wines and a scrumptious French lunch.

    mb3njamin 23, Sep 2021 Our guide Ilya (hope the spelling is right) was superb. Knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Luckily our group was also small so it was easy to get around with less hassle. Met up in front of the tourism office, went to three different wineries with distinctive characters where we tasted 3-4 types of wine each along with visiting the cave and the vineyard while listening to each winery rep’s guide. There is a combination of independent lunch hour and guided walk around the town of St.Emilion in the afternoon. The weather held up as well and overall highly recommend. Merci bien!

    vincentlI6642CM 22, Sep 2021 Tour started on time and on a very positive note thanks to our tour guide. *Forgot his name but our tour was his last day at work. He answered all our questions and offered good recommendations for lunch in St. Emillion. He was also knowledgeable about wines.

    Visited 3 different vineyards and tasted 15 wines. Staff from the vineyards were passionate with what they did, highly engaging, informative and took their time with us.

    You also get a tour of St. Emilion town and have some time to independently wander around.

    Overall, had a very enjoyable day. It was such as perfect day aided by the great weather. It was as advertised but exceeded in terms of the experience expected with organized tours. Highly recommended and would do it again!

    jesslebanon 15, Aug 2021 I had booked a half-day tour to St. Emilion and due to a bug in the system, the company offered me a free upgrade to a full-day tour the next day! Our guide Karim was very knowledgeable and funny! Would definitely recommend Ophorus to family & friends.

    SavvyTravelerTips 07, Sep 2020 Simply amazing



    Due to Covid, the tour was changed. My friend and I joined a morning tour which included visiting two vineyards in Medoc. It was very lovely. And in the afternoon, we visited a vineyard in Saint Emilion and had an hour to visit the city.



    Our guide for both tours was Karim and he was great. He was very knowledgeable! We had a great time. It was very hot, unseasonably plus 32 C. We ran around all day so we were both tired. You get a decent amount of wine at all of the vineyards. Be advised that there is no food included. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    Robyrobrob 02, Sep 2020 Excellent! A ne pas manquer pour les amoureux du vin!



    Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir un tour privé. Ce fût un moment exceptionnel! Christophe (le gérant) nous a fait une visite de la ville et de son histoire sur le chemin en allant à St-Emilion, c’était vraiment instructif.



    Ensuite, les caves choisies sur place étaient géniales autant par la beauté du domaine que pour leur vin. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et passionnés par leur métier, cela fait extrêmement chaud au cœur! Tout était facile durant ce tour! Je recommande vivement!

    Rick 15, Mar 2020 Wine lover's tour



    This is a tour that you can't miss if you are a wine lover. I visited many wineries over the world (e.g., Rhone valley, Burgundy, Hunter Valley, Yarra Valley, Niagara on the lake, Napa Valley, Douro valley in Porto, Hokkaido in Japan, etc...). This is one of the most enjoyable tours.



    The tour guide Luigi is incredible. He is so knowledgeable in wine and accommodating. I made a remark on my booking saying that I wanted to visit Petrus. The 1st stop we went was Petrus. He allowed ample time for is to take pictures and experience the terroir. He also stopped us by in many super famous chateau in Pomerol (e.g., Petrus, Le Pin) and Saint Emilion (e.g., Ausone, Pavie).



    This tour took us to a few chateau producing wine with special characters for tasting, which are not very commonly seen or available in the market. I felt no pressure to buy their wine after tasting but just felt being invited to appreciate their wines. The most exciting part was that he took me to taste vintage Armagnac 1977 and 1997 at a super good rate that I can never find in Hong Kong.



    We stopped at a very historical town to have a lunch there, which is just next to Ch Ausone. Lots of choices there and Luigi made very good recommendations for us..Most of all, the price of the lunch was very reasonable, given the quality of food. Having a glass of Saint Emilion with a dish of a Confit de Canard right in the middle of a medieval town, it was an amazing experience.



    On our way back, he arranged a smelling test for us to guess the food by smelling the essence oils. Although I have played this game for many times, I still found it very enjoyable hosted by Luigi. The only problem is that time is too short to enjoy so many things in a day. If you are a true wine lover (not a wine label lover) and have some background knowledge with wine, and you don't really want to spend a lot of money, you will find this tour amusing. Go with Luigi.

    Kelly_M 14, Mar 2020 All you ever wanted to know about right-bank wines.



    The tour was a wonderful experience and the guide, Emily, was wonderful, as well. The tour involved three different wineries featuring very different wines and terroir and a short tour of St. Emilion and time to walk around the town and have lunch on our own.



    The guides at each of the wineries were also very personable and knowledgeable and the owner of one of the wineries gave the tour at our last stop.

    juliegenn59 05, Mar 2020 Excellent trip. Learned so much and everyone so nice. Had a great time. Loved the wineries. Each one

    Varun_A 01, Mar 2020 Fantastic day out in St Emilion
    We had a fantastic day out in the vineyards. The ones we visited as part of the tour were fantastic with
    really friendly hosts. Karim was a fantastic guide. Above all it was a great day out learning about

    winemaking and drinking plenty of wine.

    Andre (Brazil) 01, Mar 2020 Spending a full day in this tour makes totally sense, we had just the correct time (no hurries nor bores) to enjoy the many beautiful sightseeings and gorgeous wine tastings, just perfect.



    What did you enjoy the most?

    Full commitment of guide Lea to provide the group an awesome tour.

    Anonymous (Spain) 22, Feb 2020 Great day! Great guide, open to take any question about wine and the area. Wine tasting in St Emilion had a commercial purpose. I didn't enjoy doing it in a shop instead in the Chateau. And i didn’t enjoy to try 6 wines in the same glass.

    What did you enjoy the most? How they chose 3 very different Chateaus for our visit.

    The full-day Saint Emilion wine tour from Bordeaux usually lasts around 8 hours. This duration includes transportation, winery visits, wine tastings, and time for lunch or refreshment breaks - at own expense.
  • At what time will we be in Saint Emilion for lunch?

    Your free time for lunch in Saint Emilion will depend on the winery visits that are programmed on the day of your tour. If your tour has 1 winery visit in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, your free time in Saint Emilion will be at about 12.30pm. If your tour has 2 wineries programmed in the morning and 1 in the afternoon, then your free time in Saint Emilion will begin at around 1.30pm. Most restaurant serve all day, but some may stop receiving guests at 2.00pm. We strongly recommend that you ask your guide on the morning of your tour what your program is and to make the necessary restaurant reservation accordingly. As in many attractive villages, Saint Emilion can get pretty busy during peak times.
  • What type of vehicles are used during a Bordeaux shared wine tour?

    Our company uses only Mercedes Vito Tourer 8 seater minivans that are recent, comfortable and fully equipped including individual A/C, shaded windows, large leg space and on board P/A system for commentaries by the guide.
  • Who conducts these Bordeaux Shared Wine tours?

    We only employ accredited and licensed tour guides that are also the drivers for all tours that need visits to be conducted by certified guides. Good examples are: the visit of museums, guided walking tours in cities, visit of historical monuments and so on. In some regions, where wine tours prevail (Bordeaux, Alsace) the tours are conducted by professional local guides, that are experts in Wines.
  • Can we choose which wineries we will visit on a shared Bordeaux Wine Tour?

    No, unfortunately a scheduled tour is already pre-programmed and the wineries have been (carefully) selected. If you would like to visit some specific wineries while you are staying in Bordeaux then do not hesitate to book one of our Private Wine Tours from Bordeaux.
  • Are the Winery Tours private in Bordeaux?

    During our scheduled/shared tours the visits at the wineries are not private and you may find yourself being grouped with others. Groups usually always remain in low numbers. If you are seeking a more exclusive Bordeaux Wine Tour then do not hesitate to book one of our private tours. We will organise a private visit just for you and your party.

    Please note that on our shared Bordeaux Day Trips, Ophorus tours are always conducted in English during the tours or at the wineries. Unlike other providers and for the benefit of all our guests, we refuse to mix languages.
  • How many Bordeaux wines will I taste during this tour?

    Unlike other wine tasting sessions that you might have followed around the world, the tastings in Bordeaux are not as generous in terms of pours . The amount of wine tasted is not what many would expect but here it is all about elegance, fruit, quality, aromas and flavors rather than quantity.

    Each Chateau will have you taste their premium wine and what we call the 'second' wine of the estate. Sometimes, Chateau owners also add a tasting of some other wine if they happen to be the owners of another Chateau in Bordeaux. So basically, at each winery visited it will be 2 to maximum 4 wines tasted. On this Saint Emilion wine tour, the second Chateau is usually linked with a wine cellar located within the village.

    Usually, the number of wines tasted there are between 4 to 8 depending on which bottles have been opened. If you wish to taste more wine, lunch in Saint Emilion village is a perfect location to sample other appellations - it is easy to order wines by the glass. To further enhance your wine experience, it is always possible to buy some bottles at the wineries visited.
  • Where is Saint Emilion in France?

    Saint Emilion is a village of France located in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, Gironde department, about 48 kilometers (30 miles) east of the city of Bordeaux. The medieval villages is perched on a limestone plateau, above the vineyards that are world renowned for producing a full bodied red wine of which Merlot is the dominant grape variety. Saint Emilion village and wine region is our most popular wine tour destination for a day trip from Bordeaux.
  • What is a Saint Emilion Wine?

    Located on the right bank of the river Garonne the appellation specialises in red wines from the grape varieties Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wines of St-Émilion are generally delightfully complex and elegant. Common fruit flavours include plums, strawberries, cherries which can become more dried and stewed with age. Oak ageing is very common, providing balanced flavours of vanilla, toast and nutmeg.

  • Can one visit Petrus?

    Petrus is the lead winery located in the appellation of Pomerol. This is certainly one of the most frequent questions that we have. NO, unfortunately it is not possible to visit Petrus. Only wine merchants or persons of the wine trade can, one day hope to visit the premises.

    We do, however, offer tours in the Pomerol Appellation. If you are a Pomerol wine lover, don't hesitat to contact us and we will design a specific Private Bordeaux Wine Tour that will include winery visits in the Pomerol appellation.
