This is where you will find most of the information you need. There is a special section for wine tours as well. They are open every day, and the staff is well trained to help you (they speak several foreign languages).

Have fun exploring the city!!

The drive from Bordeaux to Saint Emilion is about 40 minutes and Ugo was very conversational and helpful. I see other reviews saying this trip was too short. It is true, you only get about 20 min to explore the little village of Saint Emilion after drive and the wine tasting at the Chateau. The tour does say half-day trip and within the half day we got a lot done! We tasted five wines from the region and we took two home back with us to LA! Ugo gives 110% to his job and we learned a lot from him and appreciated his suggestions. I would definitely book with Orphous again and would be delighted to have Ugo as our guide.
