Guidekin's take

Both banks with a picnic: three wineries, a guided walk in Saint-Émilion, eight glasses across the day and a picnic of local produce inside a château, plus a photo stop at Château Margaux.

The day runs in all weather, departures leave on the dot, and the châteaux visited can change. 4.77 from 427 reviews at €180 per person.

In our comparison: #26 of 31 in Wine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
