Program & Itinerary
Embark on a Captivating Full-Day Wine Tour from Bordeaux to Saint-Émilion
Begin a delightful day-long excursion with our Bordeaux to Saint-Émilion Wine Tour, where you'll immerse yourself in the splendor of the Bordeaux vineyards and the charm of the AOC Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wine region. This small-group tour promises a journey filled with discovery and indulgence, as you traverse through scenic vineyards, visit esteemed Chateau Wineries, and savor the rich, Merlot-based red wines of the area.
Meeting Point: Bordeaux City Center
Your adventure starts at a central meeting point in Bordeaux, conveniently located in front of the Bordeaux Tourism Office. This prime location, nestled in the city's vibrant heart and opposite the CIVB Bordeaux wine syndicate, ensures easy access for all guests. Most city center hotels are a brief, 10-minute walk away. For those staying near the historical center's outskirts (locations such as the train station, Radisson Blu, Seeko'o, Hotel Burdigala, Hilton Garden Inn), the Quinconces Tram Station adjacent to the tourism office offers straightforward access.
Timely Departure for an Enriched Experience
We value punctuality to ensure a seamless experience. As our winery visits are prearranged to offer you an exclusive experience, we kindly request your presence 10 minutes before the scheduled departure. Bordeaux's wine tours operate on precise timings due to the high demand and exclusivity of the wineries we visit. In the event of potential delays, please inform us promptly via SMS, phone, or email. Note that the waiting time is capped at 10 minutes; beyond this, missed tours cannot be refunded.
Discover the Enchantment of Saint-Émilion
Journey into the heart of Bordeaux's winemaking heritage as we guide you to the prestigious Saint-Émilion wine region. Our expert guides, brimming with passion for viticulture and local lore, will lead you through an extraordinary exploration. Marvel at Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with its medieval architecture, the remarkable monolithic church, and the mysterious underground catacombs.
Tour the Grands Crus Vineyards and Wineries
Our tour offers a deep dive into the vineyards' lush landscapes, where sun-kissed grapes create wines of unparalleled quality. Learn about grape varieties, soil composition, and age-old winemaking techniques. Visit renowned wineries, where passionate vintners reveal the intricacies of their craft. Experience the journey from grape to glass, and relish in the tastings of diverse and sophisticated Bordeaux wines.
A Sensory Journey through Bordeaux's Wine Country
This tour transcends wine tasting; it's a sensory expedition that enriches your spirit and forges unforgettable connections. It's an opportunity to not just taste but also to engage with the story behind each vine and vintage.
Join us for an unforgettable Bordeaux to Saint-Émilion wine tour, where every sip is a narrative, each vineyard a chapter in the grand story of Bordeaux's winemaking legacy. Unveil the magic of Bordeaux with us, where history, culture, and exceptional wines intertwine to craft an experience like no other.
