Private Saint‑Émilion Wine Shore Excursion from Bordeaux & Bassens
Embark on a private shore excursion from Bordeaux City or Bassens Cruise Port to the world‑famous Saint‑Émilion wine region. Combine Grand Cru tastings with a guided visit of a UNESCO‑listed medieval village, led by an expert Bordeaux wine guide.
Pick up at your cruise ship in Bordeaux or Bassens
Your day begins with direct pick up at your cruise ship in Bordeaux or Bassens. Meet your English‑speaking driver/guide, a Bordeaux wine specialist licensed to guide inside historic sites. After a quick overview of the itinerary, settle into your comfortable, air‑conditioned Mercedes minivan and leave the city for the right‑bank vineyards.
Travel in comfort in a spacious Mercedes minivan
Relax on the short drive to Saint‑Émilion in a premium Mercedes minivan accommodating up to 8 guests. An on‑board PA system ensures you can hear your guide clearly wherever you sit, and you’ll enjoy Wi‑Fi and bottled water along the way.
Visit and tasting at a Saint‑Émilion Grand Cru estate
Your first stop is a carefully selected Saint‑Émilion Grand Cru or Grand Cru Classé château. Meet a local host, tour the vineyards and cellars, and learn about the terroir, grape varieties, and winemaking techniques that define right‑bank Bordeaux. Then enjoy a guided tasting of several wines, typically Merlot‑based blends with Cabernet Franc and sometimes Cabernet Sauvignon, and ask your guide any questions you may have about styles, aromas, and food pairings.
Guided walking tour of medieval Saint‑Émilion
After your tasting, continue to the village of Saint‑Émilion itself. Perched above the Dordogne Valley, this UNESCO World Heritage site is a maze of steep cobbled lanes, stone houses, and panoramic viewpoints. Follow your guide on a walking tour to discover key landmarks such as the cloister, church, and underground heritage, and hear stories that link the village’s long history with its winemaking traditions.
Free time and return to your ship
Enjoy some free time to explore Saint‑Émilion at your own pace. Browse wine shops and cellars, pick up a bottle or two, or simply wander the streets and soak up the atmosphere. In the afternoon, your guide will drive you back to your cruise ship in Bordeaux or Bassens, concluding your Saint‑Émilion wine adventure.
