Grand Cru wine tour around St Emilion

Hi All, has any done a private tour from St Emilion? Having trouble finding something FROM St Emilion itself . Any contacts would be appreciated. We will have a car but a local guide is always handy.
Thanks,

My understanding is that to visit this type of winery you will need reservations in advance or risk not getting in. Have you contacted your hotel about a guide and/or reservations to these wineries?

Never used them, but if you are time poor and money rish they might be good.

Just did the tour of Montbasilac (Chateau and nearest wine producer) and that went well (follow my name)

Bilboburgler - I assume you meant the Chateau de Monbazillac http://www.chateau-monbazillac.com/ - note difference in spelling!

In the Dordogne, rather than the Bordelais, but from memory, well worth seeing - and tasting.

Carlux, yes, I was being lazy

Still, only 40km or so up river.
