Overview

Guidekin summary

A relaxed small group day pairing a prestigious château with a family estate, a tasting in the village itself, a guided walk and a picnic lunch of bread, cheese and cold cuts, with the visits in the price. Only personal spending is extra; the pace is unhurried and the summer option runs as a full day. 4.95 from 326 reviews at €165 per person.

From the guide

Discover Saint-Émilion beyond the tasting room with Rustic Vines, a local Bordeaux wine tour specialist passionate about creating authentic and memorable experiences.

This carefully curated day combines prestigious châteaux and charming family-owned estates, giving you a fascinating insight into the diversity of Bordeaux wines, winemaking traditions, and the people behind each bottle. With a small group and a relaxed pace, you’ll enjoy a more personal experience, away from the crowds of larger tours.

Your passionate local guide will bring the world of Bordeaux wine to life in a way that is fun, approachable, and engaging—whether you’re discovering wine for the first time or already an enthusiast.

But Saint-Émilion is about much more than wine. Wander through its UNESCO-listed medieval village, uncover hidden corners and centuries of history, and admire the spectacular vineyard landscapes that make this region so special.
