Medieval charm and world-class wines define this private full-day journey into Saint-Émilion, one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated Right Bank appellations. Departing from Bordeaux, the experience leads into rolling vineyard landscapes where Grand Cru estates showcase the region’s Merlot-driven style. Carefully selected winery visits include guided tours of vineyards and cellars, followed by tastings of refined red wines shaped by limestone soils and centuries of tradition. Time is also reserved to explore the UNESCO-listed village of Saint-Émilion, where cobbled streets, historic façades, and panoramic viewpoints reveal the area’s timeless appeal. A visit to the remarkable Monolithic Church, carved directly into the rock beneath the village, offers insight into Saint-Émilion’s unique religious and architectural heritage.

The itinerary can be customized to personal interests, with the option to include underground galleries or additional château visits. Led by an expert local guide, the day blends wine, history, and atmosphere into an immersive Bordeaux experience.
