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