We really enjoyed this half day wine tour. Our guide Matius was very knowledgeable about the local area and all things wine. We enjoyed visiting a Chateau winery and having a wine tasting. This was followed by a visit to the Saint Emillion township which is beautiful to walk around with historic old buildings and an incredible church. Would recommend this tour.

Enjoyable half day trip. The winery was beautiful and it was interesting learning about wine. The tasting was fun. Having a bit of free time to walk around the village was nice also.

Great tour with a great tour guide. Mr Hugo was well informed, delivered a great tour, very entertaining. Loved it!

Too much talking, too little drinking.
The amount of wine tasted is scanty and differs from guests. Seeing the city or the chateau are worthless
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Bonjour Ana_L,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. Our tours aim to balance wine tasting with cultural and historical context, which may not suit all preferences. Tastings are intended to be consistent for all guests, and we will review your comment with our team.
Thank you for joining us.
Kind regards,
Carole from the Ophorus team

If you are a wine lover, cannot get enough of hearing about varietals and how to taste it like a pro - this short tour is for you!

Very informative tour of the Bordeaux Right Bank vineyards and the town of St. Emilion. Carol provided a lot of great information about the vineyards, town, and the rules, processes and implementation of the wine rating system. We tasted 4 wines, and got to compare vintages and methods.

This was a perfect tour for a solo traveler. The small grouping was great and our guide, Guy, friendly and very knowledgeable. Lastly, Saint Emilion is spectacular!

Luigi, our guide was excellent. He combined the history of the area and the wine making process into a fantastic excursion. He also was very good about discussing the different wines that we tasted. He did stop entertaining us until he dropped us off.
