About this tour
Spend two hours exploring two classified Grand Cru estates in Saint-Émilion's vineyard landscape. You'll walk through the winemaking operations at each château, taste three premium wines, and settle in for a picnic featuring local cheeses, charcuterie, fresh produce and bread paired with your choice of wine. The experience offers genuine insight into how these prestigious properties operate, set against rolling vine-covered hillsides.
Highlights
- Tour two Grand Cru Classé châteaux with English-speaking guide
- Taste three exceptional wines from the region's top producers
- Picnic spread: artisan cheese, cured meats, vegetables, fruit, fresh bread
- Vineyard views across Saint-Émilion's classified slopes
- Learn vine-to-bottle production across two estates
- Wheelchair accessible throughout all venues and grounds
What to expect
You'll start at the first château with a guided tour of their cellars and vineyards, seeing how grapes move through production. After tasting their wines, you'll head to the second estate for a similar walkthrough and further tastings. Between visits or at day's end, you'll unpack your picnic basket in a scenic spot overlooking the vineyards. The pace is relaxed—mostly walking at ground level with pauses to observe and taste. Bring comfortable shoes and a light layer, as you'll be outdoors and indoors across the two locations.
Good to know
Two hours is tight for two estates; expect efficient but unhurried pacing. Your wine choice at picnic time is yours to select. Additional bottles beyond the tasting and picnic glass aren't included but can often be purchased on-site. Fully accessible for wheelchairs and prams.
