All Bordeaux Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 13

This was a truly exceptional food, wine, and history tour. Aurélien, an experienced sommelier, shared a wealth of knowledge about wine pairing, the origins of both the wines and the foods, and the historical and geographical influences that make them unique. His passion and expertise brought every tasting experience to life. What made the evening especially memorable was Aurélien’s warm and engaging approach. Rather than feeling like a traditional tour guide, he felt more like a friend sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm. It was an informative, enjoyable, and immersive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the rich connections between food, wine, history, and culture.

We learned so much about the regional wines, wine-making in general, and why vintages can vary so much year to year. The tour included the beautiful village of St Emilio, including some free time there. Francois was a fantastic guide (an accomplished sommelier), who was keenly interested in sharing his knowledge. Highly recommend!

I had Ello and she was an amazing tour guide! We had a group of eight and the meeting point was well described and the Ello introduced herself and the group went around to intro themselves as well. We went off in a air conditioned van to first the winery. The winery was in such a cute chateau. We got to learn about the area and the bordeaux grapes and then had a class and tasting with a sommelier who was very knowledgeable. The cheese, chocolate and cured meat platters were delicious. Since I brought my two kids, Ello also offered to play a game with them but they opted to stay and learn about wine and sip on grape juice with the rest of the group. After the wine tasting, Ello took us around St Emilion the city and we went to some great viewpoints and then to see a wine cave/cellar since it was so hot outside. She was very flexible in the plans and let us choose the activity since we were supposed to climb some stairs but we changed the plans due to the heat there. After that, she drive us back and everything ended on time. Highly recommend this activity!
