This private Saint-Émilion wine workshop is ideal for hands-on learners and wine enthusiasts who want to go beyond passive tastings to actively participate in the winemaking process. It suits couples celebrating special occasions, friend groups seeking unique experiences, corporate teams wanting interactive bonding activities, and curious travelers who love food and wine education.
Perfect for those who enjoy creative, immersive activities rather than just listening to lectures, this tour appeals to foodies interested in wine-chocolate pairings, picnic lovers who appreciate al fresco dining in scenic settings, and anyone wanting a memorable, Instagram-worthy Bordeaux experience. With blending workshops, gourmet picnics, and chocolate tastings combined, it's designed for travelers seeking fun, interactive, and delicious wine discovery rather than formal château tours.
In regards to the protection of the environment, we will no longer provide plastic bottles of water during our tours. You are kindly advised to bring your own. Water and refills are available at the wineries, museums and attractions visited.
Please note: In France, snacks are usually not provided during wine tastings to preserve the purity of the wine's flavor. We recommend having a good breakfast or lunch beforehand.
