René was very nice and clear. He knew a lot about wineries and Bordeaux as a city, great to hang out with a local like him. Each winery had something to new to learn about which kept us interested at each stop. For lunch, getting to taste different cheese and meat was very fun, however the main was quite simple for the price. I wouldn’t take this tour in winter though, you miss most of the pretty landscapes and beautiful sights. But overall definitely a good experience to have for those who enjoy wine. :)

とても充実した1日になりました。午前はサンテミリオン、ワイナリーを巡り、サンテミリオンの教会など立ち寄りワインの歴史に触れることができました。そして午後はボルドーに戻り軽い昼食。ここでも好みのワインをいただけ、タパス風なアラカルトをゆっくり堪能することができました。それぞれ世界中からいらした方々と会話を楽しみながら昼食を終え、午後はマルゴーへ。シャトーマルゴーのシャトーの撮影やその周辺の景色に癒され、3件のワイナリーを訪問。午前同様ワイナリーの見学説明、試飲を受けてボルドーに戻ったのは18時を過ぎていたように思えます。 他のツアーより価格は上がりますが、この1日でボルドー地方の押さえるべきワインのツアーが1日で凝縮されていますので、是非参加されることをお勧めします。一人での参加でしたが追加料金はありません。自国のツアーだと倍の支払いとなりますが安心してください。又一人の方の参加も自分だけでないので気兼ねなく参加できます！

Met at the Olala Bordeaux for the tour. We ended up having a private tour as our group (3 people) was the only one signed up for the full day tour. Headed off to Saint Emilion for the wine tasting at two different chateaus. Then we took a foot tour of Saint Emilion, which was just amazing! The cutest historic town with beauty at every turn and in every little nook. Then back to the Olala for a lunch featuring local fair. Then our same tour guide took us and 4 other people on the afternoon tour to the Medoc region. We tasted wine at two other chateaus and stopped at another for a photo opportunity. It was great to be able to taste wine from two different regions to be able to compare. We then loaded back into the van for the trip back to Bordeaux.
