We had a great time with Cecilia who gave us lots of exciting information about the area. She knew how to take us to small nugget properties where we were very pleasantly received. Cecilia loves what she does, it feels! Thank you for a lovely afternoon.
was an amazing experience sitting in the back of a 2CV and driving through Pomerol and St. Émilion - Thank you Cecilia
We spent an excellent day in Pomerol and Saint-Émilion with Cécilia and Deudeuche Joséphine! We first visited the Château Jean Faure in Saint-Émilion, then the family Château Gombaude-Guillot in Pomerol, which really seduced us. Cecilia knows the area very well and has been a valuable company; we really enjoyed our time together! Thank you again for this beautiful visit, we highly recommend!
Wonderful attention from Cecilia who took us on her 2 Cv to see the wineries in Pomerol and Saint Emilion, an amazing experience that I recommend to everyone who wants to do something special in Bordeaux in a personalized way. Thank you very much Cecilia!!!
I had a great afternoon with Cecilia and her 2cv Josephine! Cecilia passed on her passion for wine and her car along the way. We had private visits to very nice and very different castles both, I will return without hesitation!
After a superb wine tasting at Cécilia, I decided with a friend to extend the experience by taking a wine tour aboard the mythical 2CV in Saint-Émilion. We started by visiting a family castle where we could discover the cellars, barrels and the authentic world of winemaking. Then we passed through the charming village of Saint-Émilion, where we stopped to buy canned and other cupcakes, absolutely delicious local specialties. Cecilia had planned everything and had prepared us a picnic in a place with a wonderful view of the village. It was a moment of pure happiness! After walking the alleys , we continued our adventure in a second castle. There, we were able to admire the vines up close, meet the women who worked in the vines, and learn more about the soils, grape varieties, and the secrets of wine. The visit ended with a memorable tasting. We left around 5pm, memories full of heads and with one desire: to redo a wine tour in this beautiful little 2CV. A unique and unforgettable experience, which I recommend to all lovers of wine and beautiful landscapes!
We had an absolutely exceptional day! After taking part in a tasting with Cécilia, her infectious enthusiasm and passion for local wines convinced us to try her turn in 2 CV. And we did well! It's been a magical day. We visited two castles, one in Saint-Émilion and the other in Pomerol. Although completely different in style and atmosphere, we loved both. The tastings were of high quality, and each domain had its own identity, which made the experience even more rewarding. The 2 CV ride was a real plus: travelling in this iconic car through the beautiful vineyard landscapes added a retro and authentic dimension to our discovery. Cécilia was an exceptional guide, warm, passionate and attentive. She knew how to make each moment unique and unforgettable. We highly recommend this activity for anyone wishing to discover the region in an original and friendly way. Thanks again, Cecilia!
Woow.. It was all perfect and I would book a tour with Cécilia immediately again. Very nicely maintained 2CV, on the road at classic car pace, in sun even with open roof. The visits were also super organized. Everything was perfectly timed and everyone took their time. 100% no bulk handling.
Our time with Cécilia was an absolute delight! From the moment she arrived at our hotel in her iconic Citroën we knew we were in for a treat. Cécilia did all the thinking for us and timed our trip to Saint-Émilion so we could enjoy the views without throngs of fellow tourists and learn about some of the history. On the way we enjoyed our visits to different wineries and learning more about what makes each variety uniquely delicious. Aside from driving us to each pit stop, Cécilia was a very thoughtful and fun guide. She was ready with an answer to our questions about Bordeaux and all things French, and happily obliged any and all requests such as playing Édith Piaf tunes while we drove through the countryside. Thank you Cécilia for being such an obliging and personable guide! We can’t recommend you enough to others who want an introduction to Bordeaux wine, gastronomy and culture!
