On the programme

Treat yourself to a unique experience: a vintage sidecar ride through the vineyards. Meet in the heart of the medieval village of Saint-Emilion, where your driver/guide will welcome you, provide you with a helmet and gloves, and go over the safety instructions! And then—it’s time for adventure! Your gentleman sider will take you along small country roads winding through the vineyards and unforgettable landscapes dotted with famous Châteaux. An unmissable experience during your stay in the region! A photo stop is, of course, a must to capture this original and 100% fun memory.

One sidecar accommodates one or two people. One person sits in the “basket,” and the other rides behind the driver/guide. You can switch places during the tour.

- Please note: "the little loop" option is available only for 1 or 2 people, as there is only one sidecar in Saint-Emilion. For groups of more than 2, you’ll need to choose a longer option so that additional sidecars can be brought in from Bordeaux.

Amazing experience

Commenté le 23/07/2024

This was just plain fun--and actually, very educational. We traveled in a way we never traveled before and got to see Saint- Emilion wine country through an unusual filter. We had been through much of Bordeaux before, but this was exceptional. Highly recommended.

Great fun to learn about St Emilion

The day was excellent as were our guides. The RV instructions were not clear in that you start with your of Chateau tour - (which was also very good & interesting) had to call Retro for clarity and location. The subsequent excursion was fabulous. Thank you

Memorable ride in St Emilion. It was a gift for my dad and we both enjoyed it very much ! Excellent time with Luc who is as passionate about wine as he is about motorcycles ;-) I recommend the experience 200%!
