Cycling tour: good itinerary, good wines - poor treatment of non expert solo tourists!
Château Montlabert的点评
点评：This Chateau offers the option of doing a cycling tour for 20 eur (including wine tasting of 4 wines: so a good price)
I was expecting at least some sort of explanation of the sites and stops of the tour (it was my first time in the region and visiting st emilion). But the ride itself was pleasant, the bike was well equipped (helmet, phone holder, lock etc).
When I got back it was time for the degustation. I was a solo traveller this year. I was served standing indoors at the bar where it was extremely hot (14h30pm at the end of August) whereas there was another couple doing the same wine tasting next door, however they were seated outside and at a table. At the bar I was again expecting to be explained a bit about the wine and what to expect from the tasting. So I asked the bartender/owner and he seemed surprised. I asked him how he recommended to best taste/drink the wine and he answered that it depended on how well I wanted to drive after (which to me felt a bit rude). I then asked him questions and he was prepared and explained (but very fast and rapidly) the properties of the wine, but I was expecting to also hear a bit of the history, and where it comes from and why (explaining the wine aging process). It was all very fast and I felt a bit ignorant and did not feel comfortable to ask questions.
I was also asked why I had decided to travel there and why I was travelling alone.
Maybe he was just trying to make small talk/conversation but I again thought it was rude.
So yes this was good if you’re looking to do a bike ride with a suggested itinerary and taste some nice wine. But the wine tasting was clearly for wine experts and not for curious non-expert solo tourists.

翻译：这家酒庄提供20欧元的自行车之旅（包含4款葡萄酒的品鉴，价格很划算）。
我原本期待至少能对沿途景点和站点进行一些讲解（这是我第一次来这个地区，而且是第一次参观圣埃美隆）。不过骑行本身很愉快，自行车的配置也很齐全（头盔、手机支架、车锁等等）。
回来后，正是品酒时间。今年我是独自旅行。我站在室内的酒吧里（八月底下午2点半），那里非常热。而隔壁还有一对夫妇也在品酒，不过他们坐在室外的一张桌子旁。在酒吧，我再次期待着有人能讲解一些关于葡萄酒以及品酒的内容。于是我问了酒保/老板，他似乎很惊讶。我问他如何才能最好地品尝/享用这款酒，他回答说这取决于我之后想怎么开车（我觉得这有点粗鲁）。然后我问了他一些问题，他准备好了，并解释了（但速度很快）这款酒的特性，但我原本以为他会讲解一些它的历史、产地和原因（解释葡萄酒的陈酿过程）。他讲解得太快了，我感觉自己有点无知，不太好意思提问。
他还问了我为什么决定去那里旅行，以及为什么独自一人旅行。
也许他只是想闲聊/聊天，但我还是觉得这很粗鲁。
所以，如果你想按照建议的行程骑自行车，品尝一些美酒，这倒是不错。但品酒会显然是为葡萄酒专家准备的，而不是为好奇的非专业人士独自游客准备的。
