Tour Overview
Sample some of the fine wines for which France is famous with this private full-day Route des Châteaux wine tasting tour in St-Emilion from Bordeaux.
Travel through the rolling vineyards of rural France to St-Emilion, deep in the heart of France’s winemaking country. Gain insight into the region’s winemaking heritage and learn of famous names including Pomerol and Fronsac.
The fertile, sun-soaked soil outside Bordeaux offers ideal growing conditions, and the region has been producing wine for centuries.

On arrival in St-Emilion, visit two wine estates and learn about the age-old processes that the grapes go through in their journey from soil to barrel and bottle.
Surrounded by beautiful castles and row upon row of grape-laden vines, enjoy a refreshing apéritif and light snack of delicacies. Afterwards, enjoy a guided tour through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town of St-Emilion, where pretty Romanesque churches tower over narrow, cobbled streets.
