# Bordeaux Super Saver Wine Tasting class and St Emilion region

**Guidekin's take:** Two products folded into one day: a tasting class with a blending workshop in town, then a minivan to Saint-Émilion for a château visit, a walk in the vines and a guided look at the village, eleven wines in all. Lunch is free time at your own cost, hotel pickup is not included and the day needs two guests to run. 4.85 from 185 reviews at €149 per person.

In our comparison: #16 of 25 in Saint-Émilion Wine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview
