Vineyard elegance and Grand Cru heritage take center stage on this private Saint-Émilion wine tour dedicated exclusively to estate visits. The experience departs from Bordeaux and unfolds across three prestigious wineries, each offering guided tours of vineyards and cellars followed by tastings of expressive red wines shaped by Saint-Émilion’s renowned terroir. Emphasis is placed on understanding winemaking techniques, classification, and the region’s distinctive Merlot profile. Midday, the tour pauses for a seated lunch at one of the wine properties, providing a more refined dining experience paired with estate wines.

The itinerary intentionally excludes the village visit, allowing the day to remain fully focused on vineyards and château life. With private transportation and an expert wine guide throughout, the experience offers a seamless and in-depth exploration of Saint-Émilion’s winemaking excellence.
