This private full-day experience seamlessly blends Bordeaux’s refined urban heritage with the prestigious wines of Saint-Emilion. Accompanied by a licensed local guide, guests begin with an in-depth walking tour through Bordeaux’s historic heart, discovering elegant squares, classical façades, and riverside landmarks that reflect the city’s former status as a global trading port. The experience continues beyond the city, shifting to the rolling vineyards of Saint-Emilion, where centuries of winemaking tradition define the landscape. Time is set aside to explore the UNESCO-listed medieval village at leisure, allowing for independent discovery among cobbled streets and wine boutiques. The afternoon focuses on a guided visit to a respected Grand Cru winery, where cellar insights and tastings reveal the structure, finesse, and character of the region’s Merlot-driven wines. Thoughtfully paced and privately guided, the day offers a balanced introduction to Bordeaux’s culture and Saint-Emilion’s world-class viticulture.
