Guidekin's take

A half day that pairs a guided walk of the Saint-Émilion village with one château visit and three wines tasted alongside charcuterie and cheese, by air conditioned van from the city centre.

The château changes with the day, departures wait for nobody and under sixteens are not admitted. 4.64 from 134 reviews at €90 per person for 4h 20m.

In our comparison: #28 of 31 in Wine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
