This private full day small group wine tour packs a lot of delights. On this exclusive private tour, you will have several options such as tasting delicious Bordeaux wines and visiting the most important landmarks. Add to this the rich historical attractions of this UNESCO World Heritage site and you see why this full day option makes for such a great tour.

Starting in the city of Bordeaux, a short drive in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan brings you out of the city to the picturesque countryside plains and rolling hills of the right bank wine producing area. This is the heart of Bordeaux's famous wine region, where many vineyards carry the Saint Emilion AOC designation.

Each of these local wineries produce vintages with distinct soil features backed by a long winemaking heritage. The wines produced here are a blend of Merlot grapes with deep, bold flavours, along with other local grape varieties, especially Cabernet Franc and, to a lesser degree, Cabernet Sauvignon.

We will take you to two very different wineries so that you can understand how techniques and production can vary from one winery to another.

On this type of wine tour in Saint Emilion we combine the visit to a very modern winery with that of a more traditional, family owned one. By doing so, it will be possible for you to better comprehend the technical transformations that have taken place over the years and what are the principal differences between traditional and modern winemaking and the repercussions this has on the structure, characteristics and aromas of the wines produced.

Between the winery visits enjoy a walking tour with your guide in the village of Saint Emilion. Discover the most significant landmarks of the village and retrace the history of a famous Monk. Stroll through the quaint, cobbled stone streets of this medieval town. Possibility to visit the underground monuments of the village (to be asked during the booking process).

After the walk, enjoy some free time to explore on your own in the village.

At lunch time, your guide will suggest you some local restaurants, don't hesitate to ask if you have special wishes !

At the end of the day, your guide will drive back to Bordeaux city centre.
