On the programme

Looking for the best Saint-Emilion wine tour from Bordeaux? Discover one of the world's most celebrated wine regions on a small-group Saint-Émilion wine tasting tour, led by a passionate English-speaking guide. With a maximum of 8 guests, this is an intimate, handcrafted experience — not a crowded bus tour.

 

8:50 AM – Your guide meets you in front of La Cité du Vin in Bordeaux, welcomes the group, and walks you through the day ahead.

 

9:00 AM – Departure for your Saint-Émilion day trip from Bordeaux in a comfortable 9-seat minivan. Along the way, your English-speaking guide sets the scene: the history of Bordeaux wines, the legendary châteaux, the iconic grape varieties, and the unique terroir that makes this region unlike anywhere else. Your first views of the UNESCO World Heritage vineyard landscape won't disappoint.

 

  • The tour begins with a visit to Saint-Emilion vineyards at a family-owned, organically farmed estate. You'll explore the fermentation cellar and the barrel aging room, and learn exactly how Saint-Émilion wines are crafted — from vine management and alcoholic fermentation to the aging process. The visit ends with a guided tasting of 3 estate red wines, with your guide on hand to answer every question.
 
  • Next, step into the village itself for a guided walking tour of Saint-Emilion. Your guide will bring its extraordinary medieval heritage to life through its cobbled alleyways, sun-drenched squares, and landmark monuments: the Place du Clocher, the Collegiate Church, the Tour du Roy, the Monolithic Church, and more. This village was a thriving city during its golden age in the 12th and 13th centuries — and the stories are as rich as the wines. Expect stunning viewpoints and plenty of photo opportunities along the way.
 
  • Before heading back, don't miss the village's other famous specialty: the Saint-Emilion macarons, a local delicacy crafted from a 17th-century recipe.
 
Around 12:50 PM – Time to hit the road back to Bordeaux. On the return journey, your guide will share their personal recommendations for the city's best restaurants, wine bars, and hidden local gems.
 
1:30 PM – Return to Bordeaux (± 5 min.).

Fabulous small-group experience

Commenté le 04/07/2024

This was such an enjoyable experience. It was so nice to have a small group (7 people) - it almost felt like a custom private tour. The winery was a small boutique organic winery. The winery host made a good presentation and came across as very authentic and uncommercial. She specially selected wines to compare 2016 and 2018 vintages. Enjoyed the walking tour of St. Emilion. Our tour guide Emmanuel was very personable and well-informed. He engaged the group in dialogue. I especially appreciate that his tour company emphasizes sustainability and organic wineries. All in all, I'd highly recommend this tour!
