Saint-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's most iconic wine appellations — a UNESCO World Heritage village perched on a limestone plateau above the Dordogne Valley, surrounded by Grand Cru vineyards producing some of France's finest Merlot-dominant wines. This private half-day tour from Bordeaux takes you directly to the heart of the Right Bank, combining a pre-booked visit and tasting at a Grand Cru Classé estate with a guided walk through Saint-Émilion's medieval streets, past the Romanesque cloister and the Monolithic Church — the largest underground church in Europe.

The tour runs on a morning or afternoon departure and is fully private, meaning the vehicle, the guide, and the pace are exclusively yours for the duration of the experience.
