The winery is an incredible place surrounded by vineyards and full of nature. Gokhan is the best host ever! He and his family are wonderful people full of love, and their pets are beautiful. Working hours and days off are respected. We are leaving very happy and eager to return.

It was our first experience as volunteers and I can say it's the best place to do it. Gokhan, family, friend, Ouso and Sasha received as so well. Every day we feel at home. Confortable place to stay, good place to learn about wine (also drink :D), have fun and relax on the farm. Near St Emilion which is beatiful village. Such a perfect experience.

We couldn't have chosen a better experience for our first volunteer project! Gokhan and Esra, two incredible people! You gave us two beautiful weeks — so kind, joyful, generous, and always willing to help! We learned a lot about wine, but even more about different ways of living and enjoying life. A special hug for Ouzo, Sacha, and Diego!!! You made me laugh so much! Once again, thank you! ❤️😍

We had the most incredible time at the Chateaux! Gokhan was generous, kind and welcoming. He taught us so much about wine and gave us the opportunity to explore Saint Emilion and Bordeaux. The work was flexible and lots of fun! Ouzo and Sasha (dog and cat) made us feel right at home :) We truly had the best time and the experience is something we will never forget! We hope to come back again soon. I cannot recommend it more!

Gokhan was the absolute best! His dog (Ouzo) and cat (Sasha) are incredibly cute and friendly! This experience is perfect for anyone who can take care of themselves, enjoys a glass of wine and is keen to learn more about life in a the winery. Could not recommend more 🔆❤️
