Trip is good. The only thing is that you need to choose a right day in a right season with good weather....

our tour guide was absolutely amazing! she was upbeat and informative. the wine we tasted was delicious and the vineyards were beautiful. the only thing that i was disappointed with was the amount of wine we got to taste. on other wine tastings i usually taste around 5 different wines and here we tasted only 3. not a big deal but would have liked to try more.

Maybe it was because the weather wasn't so great or that it was only a half day, but we weren't overly impressed with this experience. It might be better to describe it as a wine region tour rather than a wine tasting, although there were two wineries offering tastings. The overly long explanation of how wine barrels were made was a bit tedious and not much time was spent understanding the wine itself. To be fair, it's a budget priced tour so if all you want is to get out of the city of Bordeaux and see a vineyard or two, then this is probably a great tour. If you want to taste wine and understand how the different flavours have evolved, then maybe pay a bit more and you'll need a whole day to get further out of town.

This was the most boring tour I have ever taken. Not only was the tour guide not engaging in the least, but she was reading from a book. Additionally, we only got to visit one vineyard. I was under the impression that this wine 'tasting' trip would include more tasting! What a waste of money.
