We’ve been married for many years and have traveled extensively; we loved this tour because of our guide’s warm and professional demeanor, both in terms of his knowledge of wine and his expertise about the area. We visited a family-run winery where we were welcomed and shown around by a young man who had extensive knowledge of the entire winemaking process and, of course, each and every step specific to that winery. In fact, since it was a family-run winery, I thought he was actually part of the family. Then we went to the town of Saint-Émilion, where once again our guide shared his knowledge of the area’s history and traditions with us. In short: we had a wonderful day, gaining new knowledge, enjoying breathtaking views, and experiencing the sheer pleasure that all of this brings!!!

Visit a prestigious Saint-Émilion winery, step into its historic cellars, and learn how fine Bordeaux craft beverages are crafted from vine to bottle.

Travel in comfort with round-trip AC minivan transfers from Bordeaux, guided by an expert in a small group of just 8 people.

Taste 3–4 top Saint-Émilion regional pours, enjoy a traditional French aperitif, and join a fun aroma class to sharpen your tasting skills.

Wander the cobbled streets of the UNESCO-listed village, uncover its medieval history, and admire landmarks like the Cordeliers Cloister with your guide.

Choose a morning or afternoon start to fit your schedule and enjoy a relaxed half-day discovering the village and its craft beverage culture.

The tour guide, Jade, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The staff at the chateau made us feel very welcome, starting the visit with a cool glass of wine in the garden. It was the best activity we did during our stay in Bordeaux!

Vinka our guide was brilliant. Such an expert in wines as well as being engaging and thoughtful. Easy meeting point to find, beautiful chateau and vineyard for the tasting. We learnt so much about the region and the history behind wine making in Saint Emilion. The village is stunning too. Overall I would thoroughly recommend

The guide. The experience. The countryside. The history. The knowledge. If you're wondering whether this is worth booking, my advice is simple, book it. Engage with the tour, ask questions and have a great trip. Thank you to the guide, you're great.
