The experience

The tour starts in Pomerol at a certified biodynamic estate, where your guide walks you through how the vines are grown and the main stages of winemaking. You'll see the vat room and barrel cellar, then taste three red wines from the property. The second stop is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé château, where you taste four more wines and learn how climate shapes the character of different vintages. A comparison that makes the differences in the glass tangible rather than abstract.

After the estates, you spend time in the village of Saint-Émilion itself, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with medieval streets and stone buildings that have stood for centuries. Your guide points out the history woven into the architecture, and you have the chance to taste the region's famous macarons. A local specialty that has nothing to do with wine but everything to do with why people linger here. The air-conditioned vehicle moves you between stops, so the five hours stays manageable even on a warm day.

Is this one for you?This works best for small groups or couples with an afternoon free and a genuine interest in how wine is made, not a rushed highlights tour, but time spent at two working estates with a guide who explains what you're seeing. The five-hour pace means you're not racing between stops, and the two very different properties (biodynamic and Grand Cru Classé) show you contrasting approaches to the same region.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and French.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (12 to 17 years). Children under 12 can't be included in the booking.

What exactly do I taste at each estate?

At the Pomerol biodynamic estate you taste three red wines. At the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé château you taste four red wines and compare how climate affects different vintages from the same property. That's seven wines total across the two stops.

Can I see inside the cellars and production areas?

Yes. At the Pomerol estate you walk through the vat room and barrel cellar before the tasting, so you see where the wine is made and aged before you taste it.

How much time do we spend in the village of Saint-Émilion?

The itinerary includes a short tour of the village with your guide, who explains the medieval history. You'll have time to taste the macarons and take photos from panoramic spots, though the focus is on the estates rather than extended shopping or wandering.

Is this tour suitable for someone visiting wine regions for the first time?

Yes. The guide explains viticulture and winemaking from the ground up at the first estate, so no prior knowledge is needed. Tasting seven wines across five hours gives you time to understand each one without rushing.

What's included in the price?

The tour includes the air-conditioned vehicle, the guide, entry to both estates, all seven wine tastings, and a tasting of Saint-Émilion macarons. Bottled water and gratuities are not included.
