Bordeaux Epicurean Escape: Châteaux, Wine & Gourmet Picnic

My wife and I decided to go on the full day wine tour while on our honeymoon in Bordeaux. Gilbert did an exceptional job of not only taking us to lovely Chateaus but also explaining the rich history of the area. We both highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling through Bordeaux.

Gilbert was a fantastic guide, so personable, interesting and very accommodating!! We had a group of 9 ranging in age from 11 months to 70+ and Gilbert was concerned that we were all having the best possible experience! His knowledge and ability to communicate far exceeded my expectations. I would highly, highly recommend as a tour guide!

We had a wonderful day with our guide Gilbert! 3 great wine tours, tasty picnic lunch and a bit of shopping on a sunny and warm October day! Gilbert is so knowledgeable and spoke perfect English for our group. We made a friend today! Highly recommend Gilbert and this company.

Clement was a fantastic, friendly and cheery tour guide. Very knowledgeable with experience in the wine industry. We went to three very different vineyards and met winemakers of large, medium and small scale producers. We especially loved the family run biodynamic vineyard in the St Emilion Montagne appellation. The time in St Emilion was beautiful.

We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Gilbert, and he was outstanding from start to finish. His storytelling brought history and culture to life in such a captivating way—every stop felt meaningful because of the fascinating details he shared. Gilbert has a real gift for making you feel transported into the past while keeping everything fun and engaging. Beyond his incredible knowledge, Gilbert also made sure we were always comfortable and well cared for. He paid attention to every detail, checked in often, and created a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout the entire tour. We never felt rushed, and he struck the perfect balance between sharing insights and giving us space to soak in the experience. If you’re looking for a guide who combines passion, professionalism, and genuine care, Gilbert is the one. He truly made our trip unforgettable, and we can’t recommend him highly enough!

Gilbert was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and humorous. The wine and food were excellent. The wineries were great.

It was informative and fun. We had a great day but it’s hard to write after so much wines. Even though it’s rainy but it was good.

Fantastic day in Bordeaux with a wonderful group of people. Informative, fun and totally worth it. Highly recommended

Perfect day! Exactly as advertised. Enjoyed our guide who was very knowledgable. The three chateaus we visited were lovely.

This tour was fun and informative. Our guide, Lola, was fantastic. She was high energy and funny but also had a lot of knowledge about wine. I appreciated that she contributed to the explanations at the wineries. The three wineries we visited provided a good variation to try different styles. The lunch at the second winery after the tasting was very nice and was accompanied by some wine. We also had some free time in St. Emilion to walk around the village, which was a pleasant stop. I would definitely recommend this tour.
