Engaging round trip to 3 tourist-oriented wineries including a small tasting. Transport in a mini-van in a small group. Information provided by the driver and perfectly instructed local guides. The Medoc tour is focused on wine, not sights, but extremely interesting wine cellars. A whole day was the right duration for us.
We were able to do a tour and tasting at 3 different wineries, all with different focuses. Also had many photo opportunities.
Emilie was amazing and very passionate, she was also very funny. My son and I had a great time 100 percent recommended, she took the tome to booked lunch reservations in a local restaurant. It was great everything was amazing!!
We have just returned from an unforgettable day touring wineries in the Medoc with Rodolphe of Ophorus. We traveled in a very comfortable Mercedes van with a group of 6. We regularly arrange to visit wineries globally, but never do an organized tour. I am so glad we did this tour of 3 wineries “Chateau” with Rudolph. Each Chateau was inviting, very different and all very worthwhile. Rodolphe recommended 3 restaurants in Pauillac - we had lunch at Lafayette which was a delight. Rodolph’s endless firsthand knowledge of the region enriched the entire tour. Wonderful!
The 3 chateaus that we visited were excellent choices. Lunch (not included), in Pauillac was exceptional. They are famous for some of the best wines in France. (Have a glass or share a bottle). The guide (Dolce) was fun and entertaining. Great tour other than the bad traffic.
We had a wonderful day with Mathis leading us. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and funny. He gave us so much information that we will be able to use when we continue to explore wines after we return home. He showed us beautiful chateaux while explaining their history and current use/production. Overall a great experience.
This small group ( 6 people) went tour in the Medic region was excellent with Helene. She knew and shared so much information of the region, the wines, and the chateaus! Along with being funny and entertaining ! The selected vineyards were great- a comparison of a small family run vs larger fully automated- and the 3 rd being a fancy one! The wines were great- the pace perfect. Company responsive and communicative! Highly recommend!
Mathis, was great, made us fill very comfortable. Mathis is extremely knowledgeable concerning the wine region. Great sense of humor. Made the entire day extremely enjoyable.
This was an extensive tour of the Haut Medoc region. Our guide, Oscar, was full of information about the region's history and culture. In addition to visiting 3 châteaux for tastings, we also stopped at several other châteaux just to take photos and admire the architecture. Oscar even added a chocolate tasting! The time on our own for lunch was lovely - we had plenty of restaurant choices and the little town, next to the river, was very nice. All in all, a great day!
Helene was an amazing guide with vast knowledge of the Medoc region. We have been lucky to travel to many wine regions and have never had someone as knowledgeable about a region and in wine knowledge in general. Her passion was appreciated. She gave us a perfect tour and we know we will be back and request her in the future.
