Caro met us at our hotel in Gensac and drove us to Chateau Haut Garrigue, a beautiful setting. Our education began, and, we quickly discovered that Caro is not only knowledgeable, but also a charming guide. The wine and food pairing lunch was both educational and delightful. After lunch, Caro took us on a tour of a nearby chateau and... More

We booked this based on the strong reviews on Tripadvisor and liked the sound of it from their website. The St Emilion tour was just what we were looking for (and would go on another if we get back to the area). On the day there was just the two of us so we had an excellent time learning about... More

My wife and I took the Half Day Introduction class combined with the Food & Wine Pairing Lunch on Easter Monday. I had booked a few weeks before and Caro told me how to find Chateau Haut Garrigue but she went the extra mile and met us in Gardonne off the train from Bordeaux and drove us the 4km to... More

My partner and I took a "Half day tour with Wine & Food Pairing Lunch" with Caroline. It was basically a combination of her "Introduction to French Wine 2 hours" and "Wine & Food Pairing 'Revelation' Lunch 12h-14h". We drove from Bordeaux to Saussignac and initially had some problems finding the Chauteau since the GPS in the car didn't recognise... More

Dear Yongxian: Thanks a million for your review. It was a pleasure welcome you to Haut Garrigue. I do offer pickup /return from/to Gardonne station - about an hour train ride from Bordeaux St Jean - for clients who want to avoid the car (for guests from Sarlat direction it is also easy to do this). For drivers my map... More

We had a wonderful day with Caro at Chateau Haut Garrigue! Caro is the perfect hostess and a kidred spirit in the growing sustainable agriculture movement amoung Aquitaine wine growers. We so much appreciated Caro's enthusiasum, energy and love for her and her families work. We learned a great deal about wine and the all important concept of terroir, as... More

We took a day tour of St Emilion with Caroline in March 2012. Caro was a fantastic guide and being a winemaker herself, she provided us with much insight on the wine making process. We had a very good lunch in one of the local restaurants and chatted like old friends. The visit to the two wineries was very interesting,... More

We spent a wonderful morning with Caro, first was a tour of the vineyard and a very interesting insight into how Chateau Haut Garrigue grow and tend the vines. We then spent several hours learning how to taste and pair wine with various foods. Caro is an expert who has the ability to impart her extensive knowledge in a friendly... More

We just spent two full days with Caro and had a very insightful and fun time expanding our knowledge of tasting, pairing, wine-making and many other aspects of wine culture. And we received a wonderful bird’s-eye view tour of St. Emilion (and 2 chateaux plus an excellent tasting in a classy local shop), as well. Her passion really comes through... More

Never miss it. We toured St Emilion in mid-December: visited two grand cru chateaux, talked with winemakers and walked around the center of the village. The weather was milder than we had first thought and the famous medieval village was less crowded so that we could throughly enjoyed our time. When we booked this tour, we were not sure that... More

I really enjoyed my trip to Caroline's vinyard. The lodgings are great, the food is delicious, Caroline is very kind, helpful and knowledgable and the tours that you get when you go to vinyards make you feel like you are a local getting a vintor to vintor tour. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone. More
