We highly recommend this tour. The guide Emilie was really excellent. Skilled and gentle, and her spanish perfect. It is not just a tasting at the Chateau, but a nice and rewarding conversation which helps to understand the culture of the region. The choice of the two Chateau visited was excellent, specially Chateau Pichon Baron de Longueville!
