Knowledgeable guide provided a good overview of the Bordeaux wine regions and led the group through a tasting of 5 delicious Bordeaux wines differing by terroir and vintage. The tasting was followed by a 45-minute self-guided visit to the beautiful village of St Émilion. This was truly an enjoyable and engaging trip!

Probamos 5 vinos tintos diferentes que estaban muy buienos. Interesante conocer como el valor de los vinos se da en forma importante dependiendo de la region en que fueron elaborados. El pueblo de Saint Emilion es muy bonito e interesante, me hubiera gustado tener un poco mas de tiempo ahi. Recomiendo este tour para grupos pequeños y especialmente si lo buscan en español.
