The bus was to quality and the driver was skilled, which was good considering dinner if the tags he had to drive down. Saint Emillion was gorgeous and fascinating. The vineyard was beautiful and our host was brilliant. And the wine, oh the wine, was excellent. I bought a case. Highly recommend this tour especially on a Sunday or Monday.”
