Great experience. Our guide had deep knowledge about the Saint-Emilion areas and the wine making process. The hosts at the two wineries and the wine shop in town that we visited shared their knowledge and passion for their wines. It was a very hot day (sunny and 37 degrees C), but the riding on the ebikes was not too draining.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed discovering Saint-Émilion, the vineyards, and the passion of the local wine experts. We’re also glad the e-bike ride made the experience enjoyable, even on such a warm day. We hope to see you again soon!
Wonderful day: it was well organized, and our guide Daniel knew his stuff and was the perfect host for a group of 7. He had in-depth knowledge on wines, the area and the historical context of the region, a bonus! Biking was a wonderful way to explore the St Emilion area - with plenty of water to drink as it was hot! Lunch was a delicious charcuterie lunch that Daniel We’ve been on wine tours all over the world and this ranks among the best! And certainly feel we understand a lot more about Bordeuax wines. Thanks Daniel!

We loved our experience with Rustic Vines! Our tour guide, intern Sam, was knowledgeable, friendly and helped make our day so fun. With the heatwave, we were the only ones booked for the day so we ended up on a private tour. Sam kept us well-hydrated and even indulged us on a few side quests for ice cream and old church viewings. Zipping through the countryside on bikes is 100% the best way to see all the appellations and appreciate changes in the terrain and see the growing methods up close. We loved each winery tour and tasting and the visit to the wine merchant was incredibly informative. 12/10, would book again and again!
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re delighted you had such a memorable day with Sam. We’d love to welcome you back again for another ride through the vineyards anytime!
Take a day to do this tour! Biking was fun, the wineries we visited hosted us generously, our guide was professional and knowledgeable, and the wine store visit at the end of the day was probably the highlight of the day. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the bike tour, the winery visits. It's wonderful to hear that your guide helped make the day both fun and informative.
Best day of the entire trip to France! Our guide, Daniel, was the best. We toured 2 local wineries and had a fabulous lunch at one of the wineries. We then went on a short tour of Saint-Emilion where Daniel knew all the local history followed by a wine tasting at a local shop. Great day all around.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so pleased to hear that your day was a highlight of your trip to France. Daniel will be delighted to know that you enjoyed his insights, the winery visits, lunch, and the discovery of Saint-Émilion. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again someday! 🍷😊
