Have a nice day
Very nice visits, very good meal at the Marquis de Terme.
Perhaps space out the 2 morning visits a little, but otherwise we had a very good day.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 5/5)
Excellent visit
Discovery of 3 châteaux Le Taillant / Baudan/ Desmiraille.
3 complementary visits. Warm and friendly welcome. Beautiful discovery, transmission of their passion, their know-how, and the history of their châteaux and the families who prosper their name. Thank you for the blind wine tasting at Château Baudan, a wonderful discovery. Well-organized, with one small downside: we regretted the lack of time between Château le Taillant and Baudan to visit and tour the historic Château le Taillant.
Perhaps 1 château in the morning and 2 in the afternoon.
Lunch at Le Savoie was perfect, a top-quality gourmet restaurant.
We had a great time in the sunshine.

Excellent visit
Excellent visit to the 3 châteaux ( Le Taillan , Baudan et Desmirail ) with very good organization (very good lunch at the Marquis de Terme restaurant ) . Very interesting guides, with a special mention for Chateau Desmirail, which took its time: we learned a lot ...

Excellent visit to the Medoc
Discovered the Vinotrip concept to offer my partner a wine-themed holiday.
The visits are complementary and the welcome is warm.
Visit and meal organized, we were carried along by our roadmap.

accommodation to be avoided
perfect day program: visits, tastings, lunch,
but accommodation at Gite la Mouline Ludon Médoc deplorable!

Thanks to Vinotrip for organizing this day! Including the restaurant! You guys are top notch! We'll be ordering from you again!
The three châteaux we visited were great! And the tastings were top-notch!

Have a nice day
Vineyards with different constraints and biases, but all pedagogical, gave an insight into the diversity of working methods and results. Very happy with the day.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 5/5)
Top day!
Thank you Vinotrip for a superb day discovering the Médoc. Three complementary visits to different estates where we were very well received. Our guides gave us excellent explanations of the work they have done or are doing in their vineyards. Special mention for the blind tasting at Château Baudan. Superb underground cellars at Château du Taillan. And a fine discovery of a Margaux grand cru classé at Château Desmirail. We also had a particularly good lunch at Le Savoie restaurant.

Four beautiful discoveries
Three châteaux, a good restaurant, fascinating professionals who taught us a lot and we enjoyed ourselves.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 5/5)
LE TAILLAN/BAUDAN/DESMIRAIL/MARQUIS DE TERME
A beautiful day.
The first tasting at around 10am was accompanied by walnuts; a small piece of bread for the others would have been welcome.
The 3 visits complemented each other, and I particularly enjoyed the visit to Chateau Baudan by one of the owners, a winemaker, as well as the blind tasting presented in the form of a game.
The restaurant was very good, despite the lack of choice on the menu.
Would recommend.

CHÂTEAUX DU TAILLAN/BAUDAN/DESMIRAIL
Thank you for these superb visits to castles and buildings steeped in history, for these very interesting explanations (well done to you, ladies, guides of the day), for these delicious tastings and these good times of conviviality.
Lunch at the Marquis de Terme restaurant was delicious. The service was impeccable and the setting magnificent.
It was a great day out and I'd definitely recommend it.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 5/5)
Very pleasant day
The visits to the 3 châteaux were very interesting, led by real professionals (and yes, all women). Just 2 points: the timing was a little tight between Château du Taillan and Château Bedan, and the waitress and head waiter at the Marquis de Terme restaurant weren't very pleasant.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 4/5)
Le Taillan/Baudan/Desmirail/Marquis de Terme
A great time of sharing, conviviality, educational without excess and interactive. With an infectious good mood.
The Marquis de Terme restaurant, a fine place to dine, but poor reception and service.

Stay Saint Emilion
Very nice day
Extraordinary winemakers and wineries
The only downside was that the number of tastings on offer was a bit limited. Unlike in Burgundy.

Visit to Saint Ahon castle
We started with a visit to the Château du Taillan. Super interesting: warm welcome, tour and pleasant hostess. We finished with Château Desmirail. This really is a must. An enthusiastic, charismatic guide and magnificent surroundings.

Delicious tastings
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 5/5)
trip to the Médoc
Nice day, and I'll put a note on it. At Château du Taillan, tasting wines at 10:30 a.m. without accompaniment is not very professional. The visit to the cooperage was magnificent and extraordinary, with someone on hand to give us detailed explanations. The meal was correct. The visit to the grounds of the Château de St-Ahon is pleasant, but more suitable for children. The store offers a variety of products at reasonable prices. A very pleasant day.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 4/5)
DAY IN THE MEDOC
It was a lovely day, but I'd like to qualify it on one point. At Château du Taillan, wine tasting at 10:30 a.m. with no accompaniment, cakes or anything else, isn't great. The visit to the cooperage was extraordinary, with a guide who listened to us and gave detailed explanations. The meal was good, but nothing more. The visit to the park of the Château de ST AHON is pleasant, but more suitable for a couple with children, as it's very playful. The boutique offers a variety of products at very reasonable prices. All in all, a pleasant day.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 4/5)
3 visits to the Médoc
Very interesting visit to Château du Taillant and the cooperage. Fine lunch. On the other hand, the afternoon visit to the gardens of Château de St-Ahon is of little interest to adults and would be better suited to families with school-age children.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 4/5)
Have a nice day
We had an excellent day.
Congratulations to the guides who welcomed us at each successive location.
Their explanations were very clear and within the grasp of novices.
We'll be recommending this tour to others.
Bonne continuation

3visits to the Médoc
Perfect morning, very nice visit and explanations at Château de Taillan. Extremely interesting barrel-making at the Nadalié cooperage, followed by a high-quality meal. However, the afternoon visit to the grounds of Château Saint-Ahon was of little interest. What's more, the wine tasting was very brief. This third visit should be cancelled, as it would cost us one star.

Patrice S.
Instructive tour of the Château de St Ahon, including a tasting session.
Côté Jardin: ordinary cuisine.
Melle Margaux chocolate factory: we were a little disappointed because we thought we would have seen how the chocolates were made.
Château du Taillan very good report on wine making, very interesting with tasting.
. Château Giscours guest room impeccable and very good breakfast.
We were very well looked after throughout the tour, although the time between each activity was a little short.
I recommend this stay for wine and chocolate lovers.

a special day in the Médoc
A very rewarding day in the Médoc.
We particularly enjoyed the visit and tasting at Château Taillan, with a very good guide.
The cooperage was a real eye-opener.
Good lunch - refined dishes
However, the afternoon at Château Saint-Ahon was pointless and detracted from the quality of the product.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 4/5)
3 visits to the Médoc
Very well organized by Vinotrip:
A clear, well-organized roadmap (enough time between each stage)
The vineyard visits were very good, as was the lunch.
On the other hand, the "chocolate workshop" was a little disappointing: we thought we'd be discovering how chocolates are made, but all we got was a quick tasting, without much interest.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 4/5)
3 Visits to the Médoc
Le Château du Taillan: Very good, very warm welcome and very well commented visit, interesting tasting.
La Tonnellerie: Very interesting and well commented visit. Very good lunch.
Château St Ahon: We thought we were visiting a vineyard, but it was just the gardens of the château. After handing in the quiz, we tasted the estate wine, which was very good.
Chambre d'hôte.
Very warm welcome, very comfortable room, quiet, very copious breakfast. Mr and Mrs Jeantet are charming people. I recommend this bed and breakfast.

beautiful discoveries
Château du Taillan: very good. Good welcome, nice guided tour, interesting tasting.
Cooperage: very, very interesting, even impressive guided tour!
Very warm welcome. Perfect lunch.
However, the visit to Château St Ahon was very disappointing. You are given a quiz at the entrance, followed by a treasure hunt. The tasting at the end of the game was very succinct... after the copies were handed in!

3 visits to the Medoc
Very pleasant time, first castle impressive and the cooperage really unmissable. However, I did have a minor problem with the château st ahon, as the visit to the gardens was certainly entertaining but lacked interest.

Gourmandises en Médoc
Very nice visit to the châteaux, a pleasant moment with passionate guides. A small downside to the chocolate factory visit: no tour of the production process, it's just a store.

A beautiful day in the Bordeaux region. A lot of fun discovering the sites, especially the cooperage, and meeting passionate young women.
All topped off with a fine meal.
I can't recommend this well-orchestrated day enough.

3 visits to the Médoc...
A superb day! Every visit was a delight. The guides, whatever the site, chateau or cooperage, are eminently friendly and passionate about their respective professions. They love to share this passion and take you on a fabulous journey around vines and wine. Lunch at the 1902 restaurant was excellent, with a warm welcome, good service and smiling staff.
A stay I highly recommend.

Discover the Médoc
Hello
A great day out for our group, where friendliness, conviviality and tasting rhymed with information. We really enjoyed the visit to the cooperage, which was very instructive. Château du Taillan has a magnificent cellar and the 2 people doing the tastings at the châteaux love their job and shared it with us. On the other hand, we didn't enjoy the tour of Chateau Saint Ahon. The park didn't give us a good impression. As for the '1902' restaurant, there's absolutely nothing to say! Very pleasant setting, warm, smiling welcome, beautifully presented and well-cooked dishes .... In short, we thoroughly enjoyed the '1902'.
(Medoc wine tour - Note : 4/5)
Great!
We had a wonderful day! Nothing to say about the two châteaux, a top-notch welcome by staff who are passionate about the wine business, and that makes all the difference! Very instructive! The chocolate factory a warm welcome and a pure moment of delight! We highly recommend this tour! Mél and lolo

A day rich in discovery. An excellent welcome at each of the three sites visited, and explanations from passionate people! An original gift idea that I can't recommend highly enough!

A very pleasant day
We really enjoyed this concept, which combines wine-growing methods, the making of fine wines by the friendly young women of the two châteaux, a fine restaurant, and delicious chocolates, all during a well-designed tour of a beautiful part of the Médoc and some magnificent châteaux. A wonderful service to recommend. F and JP

A beautiful day!
We had a wonderful day. The only downside was that the chocolate tasting was great, but we thought we'd find out how the vine shoots are made, so the person in the store explained it to us. Otherwise, the other services were superb! Thank you for a wonderful time. We recommend it.

What an amazing day!
My partner and I stayed in Bordeaux and wanted to experience a wine tour. This one was fantastic and I would recommend it to any wine lover. The three visits were all so unique and informative - we learnt so much more about winemaking, cooperage, labelling and the history to today of French wine and why it is so special. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, it made the visits even more of an experience. Not to mention the wine was amazing too!

EXCELLENTE JOURNEE
Très belles visites, très bon repas au Marquis de Terme.
Peut être espacer un peu les 2 visites du matin ou mettre 1 château le matin et 2 l'après-midi. Sinon nous avons passé une très bonne journée.
