Excellente visite des carrières !
An excellent tour in St Emillon. Was great to see the caves below the ground and our guide answered all our questions. Thoroughly enjoyable!
Une guide très agréable et accueillante. A l\'écoute des visiteurs. On voit qu\'elle est passionnée par le vin et arrive à la transmettre parfaitement.
We had a lovely visit and really enjoyed the tour. We would highly recommend for someone to visit and try the delicious wine that is offered.
Please update your question for \"Êtes-vous\". I listed myself as a connoisseur because I have 732 bottles of wine. The description, however says \"less than 100 bottles\". Anyhow, our experience at Villemaurine was wonderful. Thank you very much!
It was a wonderful experience and our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend the experience.
