Great stay
We were made to feel very welcome at all the estates we visited, and had some very good, informative encounters and tastings. We particularly recommend the option at Château Soutard on the 2nd day with the blending of wines, an opportunity for us to create our own cuvée according to our tastes.....an exceptional stay...

A pleasant and highly instructive stay in the vineyards of Bordeaux.
The welcome at the various vineyards was excellent and full of conviviality! The accompaniment for the visits and tastings was excellent overall, except that we had to visit the Camarsac estate on our own - which was not in itself unpleasant.
A huge thank you to the team at Le Clos du Prince for their warm welcome, conviviality, fascinating conversation, excellent cuisine and professionalism, all in a charming setting.
A word of advice: bring your swimsuit if the fine weather is still here.

Varied and interesting tour
Overall satisfied, with a special mention for the guest rooms (outstanding welcome and quality). The only downside was the château we visited in the entre deux mers region (not very good quality) and the first of the two Margaux châteaux we visited on Sunday morning, as the tour was on its own, with no opportunity to visit the winery or get explanations. Only the tasting was commented on. For the rest, a very good rating.

Everything went perfectly
Our two-day tour of the Bordeaux vineyards went perfectly. All the appointments were made and everything went very smoothly. We learned a lot alongside people who were really passionate about their work. A trip to remember for magical moments. A special mention to Château BOUSCAUT for its white wine and the passion of two young women for their vineyard. An absolute must.
Many thanks to you all. Best regards joel
