Overview

    Your full day Saint Emilion tours includes visiting three châteaux and the fascinating medieval village of St Emilion (9 hrs). Visit and taste the wines of a Grand Cru Classé St Emilion and then drive through the pretty region to lunch at a château overlooking the vineyards. Instead of a third chateau visit (on different terroir of St Emilion) there is an excellent tour of underground St Emilion organised by the Tourist Information Office in English including the monolithic church and Emilion's hermit cave!

    Bigger numbers are possible, transport costs go up slightly. Contact me for more details. Pick up and drop off from your hotel or boat in Bordeaux and then we will drive the 45 minutes or so to St Emilion.

What to Expect

    St Emilion is called the 'hillside of a 1000 châteaux' and you will get a great insight into the famous classified properties and their wines contrasted with the smaller producers here. Despite the famous names here (such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton) this atmospheric place is still dominated by small family run places (these I call the SIPs - Small Independent Producers). We will visit 3 châteaux of contrasting terroirs and styles. I am an insider here. My partner makes Grand Cru classé wine here too so this will be an additional stop. I will delight in sharing with you the key sites and the gossip! We will have time to visit the picturesque St Emilion village founded in the 9th century (if you like instead of a 3rd wine château there is an underground monolithic church organised by the Tourist office). We will visit the small neighbouring appellation of Pomerol too where the iconic Petrus is located. Lots to see, taste and great passionate people to meet in my home town!
