BF and I used this service to tour 3 different wineries in Bordeaux. We met our tour guide, Brice,…read morewho was right on time. We were with 2 other couples. We did the 1855 Grand Cru tour. We went to Chateau Ferriere, Chateau du Camensac, and Chateau Lagrange. Brice had water for everyone, and was very professional and knowledgeable about the area and it's wine history. We had a 90 minute lunch break where we could go wherever. Brice also drove us past some of the most prestigious and famous chateaus, which was pretty cool. I'm glad we went with this one. I would definitely recommend it.

While sailing with Viking River Cruises through the Bordeaux wine region of France, we took an…read moreexcursion from the ship called Bordeaux Wine and Barrels. During the tour, we visited "Tonnellerie La Nadalie". It was a great highlight of the trip for me. It was such an interesting and educational tour. We had an excellent guide for this insightful excursion into this large family business. We learned about the entire process with many steps, of how wine barrels are made. We actually had a guided tour of the factory and saw how oak wood slats are shaped into casks, selected, shaped, heated, banded, and designed to age fine Bordeaux wines. This cooperage was a great discovery. The work of these "artisans" of wood is amazing. Everyone who works in the cooperage rotates and learns every job in the factory. It's a real art to manufacture wine barrels. Our guide gave clear and precise explanations on all stages of the production, while we had the opportunity to observe the whole detailed process, watching many very skilled workers. We would certainly recommend this tour! I will never see a wine barrel the same again. It gave me a better understanding of the importance of the barrel to the wine too. This was a very rewarding and enjoyable experience!

What a great way to visit the wine region! I highly recommend the experience to anyone visiting…read moreBordeaux. The staff was passionate, friendly and helpful and spoke great English. We started with the Margaux Médoc half day tour and liked the experience so much that we booked a full day tour to Saint Emillion the next day. Both tours were very different and worth it, although the charming town of Saint Emillion has particularly amazed me with its medieval architecture and history. Each tour provides you with a suggested route, in-car history lessons and amazing chateaus where you can stop by for a visit and learn about the wine and process. We had a visit and a wine tasting booked in advance at the Chateau Pressac as part of our package. The Chateau was lovely and the wine tasty; the host was very kind and knowledgeable and answered all our questions about wine production process. Visiting the area with Memosine was a memorable and fun adventure with a taste of freedom. The vehicles are adorable and draw stares everywhere you go! Memosine offers great flexibility as you can hop on and off anytime for pictures, visits, wine tasting, lunch, etc. Also, both vehicles we booked were visible on the map, which was very convenient when we lost sight of the others. This was a highlight of our trip! I highly recommend to anyone!

We were very lucky because the wineries were picking and harvesting the grapes (it was later in September).
