Beyond our expectations in all ways! First, Ben is the most wonderful guide. His background in the wine business over many years, and his knowledge of the Bordeaux region offered so much insight and back stories to the entire area and experience of what we were seeing and tasting. A true gem and we felt so fortunate to have met him and had him as our guide. Then the landscape of St Emilion is truly gorgeous and such a lush area to ride around in. The bikes were fun and easy to use and we covered so much terrain: back country roads, dirt paths among the vineyards, overlooks and cobble stone streets. We had 3 main wine tastings along with a truly scrumptious lunch at one vineyard that felt like being among old friends, though we had all just met. As an added bonus, Ben very generously offered to give us a short walking tour of St. Emilion to those who could stay on longer which extended and enhanced our whole experience of the region. I would highly recommend this tour. Merci beaucoup Ben!
