Very enjoyable cycling around St Emilion and our guide was very knowledgeable about the wines and history of the area. We were picked up from Bordeaux and driven to St Emilion. Along the way, our guide was telling us about the history and wines, and pointing out landmarks. After a safety reminder, we were off from the village into the farmlands. The lunch was a good selection of cheeses, nuts and fruits, and wine. He also took us around the little village for photos and of course visited a wine merchant where we purchased a dozen to be shipped home. I believe they were some Pomerol and Premier Grand Cru.

Rustic Vines is a great company! Our guide, Pauline, was wonderful. She had a great personality and very knowledgeable about the area! We had a great time on the bikes and it was not difficult at all. The Chateaus were great and we had some wonderful wines. Our favorite part was walking through St. Emilion and our last tasting was the best. He was so knowledgeable and made it very fun!

What a freaking lovely day this was. My wife and I sleepily walked to the pickup point in Bordeaux and met the few others that had booked the tour that day too. Then our guide for the day, Vincent, came strolling in and led us outside to the van where we hopped in for the 40ish minute drive to Saint Emilion. Along the drive, Vincent engaged with us all and kept the conversation going quite naturally as he peppered the commuting time with some really great insights and history of Bordeaux and the area. Man, that guy is super knowledgeable. After collecting the e-bikes in the town, we thus began the bike tour through the stunning countryside with Vincent at the helm and the other seven of us bringing up the rear. We stopped at the first of the two wineries for the day (we were told that the tour company has about 30 partner-wineries in the region, so no two tours will get the same experience/wine) and after a seeing some of the grounds and the production facilities (a pretty standard winery tour), a lovely picnic was waiting there for us that Vincent had set up in the meantime. Over the local charcuterie and wine, we got to chat with him about his own "who-what-where-when-how" as he shared more about his own story and more about the region. Then, more biking through the breathtaking locale to the second winery with more insanely beautiful views and more delicious wine. After that, onto Saint Emilion proper, where we deposited our bikes and Vincent led us on a brief yet thorough tour of the medieval town (seriously, Vincent is an amazing guide. His knowledge reaches *way* past wine). And then... More wine! At a little shop in town, we were guided through 6 more wines from the local area by a very charming and funny employee. We then drove back to Bordeaux and said our thanks and goodbyes to Vincent for SUCH an amazing day. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
