Guidekin's take

Graves first, then Saint-Émilion: three wineries, up to ten tastings of red and white, and a picnic of charcuterie and cheese among the vines with a glass of château wine.

No hotel pickup or bottled water, vegetarian and gluten free picnics need notice, vegan cannot be promised, and departures leave on time. 4.97 from 351 reviews at €175 per person.

In our comparison: #2 of 31 in Wine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
