# Saint-Emilion Winery Morning Tour with Local Guide from Bordeaux

**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 (table below).
