Tour Options

When booking your trip to Saint Emilion from Bordeaux, you can choose between a wine-tasting tour at a Château Grand Cru winery or a family-run winery.

Both options include pickup at the designated time from the Monument to the Girondins at Place des Quinconces, transport, and an English-speaking guide.

Tour + Wine tasting at a family winery (4 hours)

After a 40-minute drive to Saint-Émilion, a guided tour will showcase the historic centre, a World Heritage Site, and its historical significance involving an 8th-century Benedictine monk. We will then visit a family-run winery to learn about wine production, including a vineyard tour and observing the winemaking process.

The tour concludes with a tasting of 2 wines and a typical French aperitif of bread, cheese, cold meats, and chocolate, followed by a return to Bordeaux, completing the tour in 4 hours.

Following the oenological experience, there will be a guided tour of Saint-Émilion, recognized as a World Heritage Site. The tour ends with our return to Bordeaux after 4.5 hours.
