Satisfied!
The accommodation at Château Fleur de Roques is perfect, even the "h" paper is good quality! At the Auberge St jean it's delicious, but the glass of wine is a little too expensive all the same. At the Château de Ferrand, we'd like to stay, the educator is competent and pleasant, and the wine is good! Behind the scenes is very pleasant. Thank you!

Very pleasant weekend
Excellent romantic weekend at Château Ferret-Lambert, with a perfect welcome and service.
Friendly and available owners.
Visit and blending at Château Ferrand accompanied by Adrien, the sommelier, who conveyed his passion for wine in one morning.
We thoroughly enjoyed the gourmet meal at the Auberge St-Jean.
We ended our weekend in the magnificent village of St-Emilion with a fine meal behind the scenes.
Congratulations to Vinotrip, which I recommend even to those who don't like wine.

excellent weekend !!!!
We had a wonderful weekend for two.
Our 2 nights at Château de Môle were perfect.
The welcome and the visit of this castle are really very good.
The room was superb, very spacious and the breakfasts very copious.
We spent a morning at Château Ferrand with a guided tour and assembly workshop with Adrien => Simply perfect !!!!!
I'm someone who didn't like red wine, but after this workshop (very instructive) and thanks to the sommelier Adrien, I understood the whole process of wine production, and he taught me how to taste it .....
The people I met were extremely professional.
Very pleasant stay.
I'd recommend it

Enjoy your stay
Good stay in St Emilion, the accommodation at Château de Mole was perfect, the only downside being the proximity of the road.
Otherwise, the meals at L'envers du décor and Délices du Roy were very good, but it's a shame that both restaurants are in St Emilion, which means you have to return to the village each time.
Special mention to Charlie at Château de Ferrand for his kindness, professionalism and "no-frills" explanations, which made this tasting with assembly the highlight of our stay.

Chai Le Vigneron
Excellent stay, as a couple, in Saint Emilion and the surrounding area, from April 27 to 29, 2015.
Very good welcome at Château de Môle, very comfortable accommodation in a remarkable setting, with a very educational visit to the vineyard and winery.
Good service from the young and friendly team at the L'Envers du Décor wine bar.
We particularly appreciated the professionalism and personal touch of Adrien Baudry, sommelier at Château de Ferrand, during his blending workshop.
At Clos de Mirande, we were served like roosters in pastry, with great kindness, for a gastronomic dinner of the highest quality.
We also enjoyed lunch at Délices du Roy, with its warm welcome and fine cuisine.
A comment to Vinotrip: in the program for the stay, the mention "excluding drinks" only appears for Les Délices du Roy, whereas this rule was applied to both L'Envers du Décor and Le Clos de Mirande. We believe that this is a surprising and regrettable communication error, which should be corrected.
Yours sincerely

To be referenced!
We had an extraordinary weekend. We stayed at the Hotel de Roques in St. Emilion, where it was very quiet, the staff were very professional and friendly, and the food was delicious. Then we spent the day at the chateau de Ferrand, where we enjoyed a visit, a picnic in a magnificent garden and an assembly - it was paradise!
We'd do it again to discover another region.
Well done to the Vinotrip team for their preparation.
The only downside was the restaurant "a l'envers du décor" in St Emilion, where the meal wasn't particularly good and we were very cramped.

Immersion in the vineyard
Tested, approved and plebiscited the "Chai le vigneron" formula in the entre deux mers region, on the banks of the Dordogne. It was an unforgettable experience, and one we'll remember for years to come as we savor one of the wines we 'blended'. We look forward to a repeat performance!

Pleasant weekend
It all started with a visit to the Château de Ferrand with Charly! Perfect visit in his company, someone very professional and very open, it was top! We then headed for Château de Môle, where we were warmly welcomed and our room was superb! No disappointments on the restaurant front, the meal at Auberge Saint Jean was fabulous and full of good surprises. I highly recommend it!
Thank you VINOTRIP! Without them, we would have missed out on a lot.
