Saint-Émilion Wine Tour by E-Bike: 10+ tastings with lunchThis e-bike wine tour in Saint-Émilion runs 7 to 8 hours from a 10:30am start, cycling through vineyards and villages with a professional English-speaking guide who shares local history and winemaking knowledge. You visit two chateaux—one family-run, one organic and over 400 years old—taste a minimum of 10 wines, eat French lunch in the château gardens with wine included, and finish at a wine merchant in the village for three more tastings. E-bikes make the hills manageable for all fitness levels, and the guide can recommend rare and aged vintages you can purchase and ship home.Is it for me?Book the shared group tour if you want to meet other wine travelers and split the cost; choose the private option if you're cycling with friends or family and want the guide's attention and stories to stay with your group.
Saint-Emilion: Electric Bike Wine Tour & Picnic LunchYou’ll pedal gently through Saint-Emilion’s vineyards on an electric bike with a small group and local guide. Taste wines at two family-run chateaux, enjoy a picnic lunch among the vines, then wander medieval streets for one last tasting in town. Expect laughter, real stories from locals, and moments you’ll want to hold onto long after you leave.
Saint-Emilion & Pomerol Wine Tour: 2 Châteaux TastingsYou spend the day moving between two prestigious châteaux in Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, tasting wines at each one with a WSET expert who explains the winemaking process as you walk through cellars and vineyards. Lunch with local products is included, as is all transport and bottled water. Plan for a full day out — roughly seven hours — which is what lets you absorb two different appellations instead of rushing through one.Is it for me?A strong fit if you want to understand Bordeaux wine beyond tasting — the WSET guide and two-château format let you compare appellations and learn why they taste different. Expect a full day of walking, tasting, and travel between sites; that pace is what makes visiting two prestigious estates possible in one outing.
Saint-Emilion: Château Saint-Georges Tasting & Vineyard TourYou walk the vineyard on the Pavie hillside, learn how a 150-year-old family makes their wine from soil to cellar, and taste three Grand Cru vintages plus a bonus selection. The whole visit is on foot from the village, takes a few hours, and ends with wines you can actually buy to take home if they move you.Is it for me?Right for anyone who wants to understand how a wine is actually made rather than just taste it, and who prefers a family-run estate where the same people have been refining the same vineyard for generations. The short walk from the village means you don't need a driver or a tour bus to get there.
Saint-Emilion Grand Cru wine tasting: two châteaux, three winesThis tour visits two classified Saint-Emilion Grand Cru estates—one traditional, one modern—with a live guide in English or French. You walk through the vat cellar and barrel cellar of each property, see the technical installations, and taste three wines in the tasting room overlooking the vineyard. The whole experience runs about an hour.Is it for me?At an hour long, this tour fits into a morning or early afternoon without swallowing your whole day—you see two different approaches to Saint-Emilion in one visit and still have time to explore the village or eat lunch afterward. If you want to spend longer in the region or visit more estates, look for a full-day option instead.

Saint-Émilion & Médoc Private Wine Tour: Expert TastingsA private wine tour of Saint-Émilion and Médoc in Bordeaux, led by a WSET-certified expert guide, visiting classified châteaux and tasting approximately 10–12 wines in an intimate setting. The tour includes private transportation, visits to a 1855-classified château in Médoc and a Grand Cru Classé property in Saint-Émilion, a guided tasting in a medieval village shop, and a walk through the UNESCO-listed streets of Saint-Émilion. Lunch is not included, allowing you to choose between local bistros or winery restaurants; the operator provides recommendations after booking.Is it for me?Choose the English or Spanish departure based on the language you speak; both follow the same itinerary and visit the same châteaux, so the difference is only the guide's language. The private format means no other groups, no fixed departure times beyond the eight-hour window, and no waiting for a tour bus to fill up—book this one if you want the guide's full attention and the flexibility to linger at a tasting or a street corner without holding up twenty other people.
