“Our guide Susanna was brilliant. She provided us with interesting and useful information during the transport to the different destinations, all with a great sense of humour and authenticity! And she prepared a wonderful picnic for us 😀 The different wine tasting locations were great - different styles: family run vs investor led vs independent wine shop - and this gave us the opportunity learn and understand the different perspectives and of course to try fantastic wines!! The time in St. Emilion could have been a bit longer but overall it was a great and memorable day!! Thank you!”
