About this experience
Join us for an unforgettable day in one of the most beautiful wine regions in the world: St-Émilion. This immersive experience blends wine, history, nature, and gentle adventure for a truly memorable journey.
You’ll visit two châteaux, where you’ll enjoy guided tours and tastings of their wines. Electric bikes allow you to cover, while effortlessly riding, quiet country lanes and breathtaking scenery.
After working up a well-earned appetite, relax and connect with your fellow explorers over a delicious picnic lunch, thoughtfully prepared and hosted by your friendly guide, set among the vines or in a scenic countryside spot.
The day concludes in the ancient UNESCO-listed village of Saint-Émilion, where your guide will lead you on an engaging walking tour through its medieval streets, historic monuments, and hidden viewpoints. Along the way, we’ll make short stops for photos so you can capture the magic of this remarkable town before the comfortable return journey to Bordeaux.
