Saint Emilion afternoon Wine Tour from Bordeaux

Take a seat in your air-conditioned minivan at 1:30pm or 2pm (depending on the season) in central Bordeaux, then spin out of the city toward Saint-Émilion to begin your 5-hour tour. Along the way, listen as your local guide shares information about Bordeaux’s winemaking history and enjoy sweeping views over the rolling hillsides.

On arrival in Saint-Émilion, enjoy a short stroll through the medieval streets with your guide followed by a wine-tasting at a local wine cellar. Here, learn of the grape varietals like merlot and cabernet franc, and gain insight into the flavors they create in your glass.

Head onward to a Grand Cru winery to enjoy a private visit and tasting. As you taste the wines, learn what makes Bordeaux wine so unique! 

Finally, visit a family-owned winery and sample local specialties such as cured meats and/or traditional French cheeses . Savor the flavors the locals love, and learn how to match the food with your wine. When your final tasting comes to an end, return in comfort to your starting point in central Bordeaux to conclude your tour.
