Guidekin's take

A morning in Saint-Émilion that splits its time between the medieval village and one winery visit with two merlot based wines to taste, plus snacks on the way, in a minivan with a local guide.

Lunch and hotel pickup are not included, infant seats can be arranged, and pets stay home. 4.78 from 74 reviews for 4h.

In our comparison: #24 of 31 in Wine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).

Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

Enjoy a small-group tour in the most famous Bordeaux wine appellation: Saint-Emilion!

Discover the beautiful merlot wines of Saint-Emilion. This tour is as much a wine and tasting tour as a cultural tour with the visit of the old and charming village of Saint Emilion.
