Visite très interessante et de qualité. Très agreable d\'être en très petit groupe ! Nous avons été très satisfaits de l’ensemble de la prestation.
Un superbe château, un domaine d\'exception, une visite agréable. Avec les explications claires et détaillées de notre guide. Le tout couronné par une dégustation de divers millésimes dans un show room ouvert sur les vignes et la ville. Magnifique!
My annual wine budget is around 1000 euro but I buy locally in Copenhagen due to high transport cost to Denmark
Visite agréable, très beau domaine, explications pertinentes et bonne dégustation face aux vignes
Wonderful tour! I would highly recommend this tour of this beautiful winery if you’re visiting Saint Emilion!
La prestation est très bien. Accueil très agréable. Excellente dégustation. J’aurais aimé plus de commentaires sur les parfums des vins.
We came with 2 children (10 and 8) and we all loved the tour of the vineyard, the wine making machines and the underground passages, as well as the wine tasting. A great experience for current and future wine drinkers alike.
Un bon accueil avec des explications simples et intéressantes. Un domaine avec une superbe vue sur Saint Emilion.

Très belle visite du domaine. Cadre magnifique. Explications claires. Merci à Karine pour cette visite, on sent une personne passionnée qui a envie de nous faire découvrir l\'univers du vin, ainsi que l\'histoire du Château de Villemaurine. Je recommande !
Très bon moment passé lors de la visite privilège avec Karine, notre guide. Une visite et des explications de qualité. Les cavernes souterraines sont très belles, un meilleur éclairage les mettraient encore davantage en valeur. Pour finir, Karine a su nous mettre a l\'aise lors de la dégustation. Attentive et a l\'écoute de notre ressenti, elle a réussi à me réconcilier avec le vin rouge grâce a son discours de passionnée par la vigne et le vin.
Notre guide a été superbe ! On lui remercie beaucoup

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and she was able to explain the process to us in a way that we could understand, as we did not know much about the wine making process. The tasting was excellent, and we learned a lot. Would recommend!
Very interesting, informative tour

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.
