Description:
The vineyards of Saint-Émilion are some of the most renowned and prestigious in France. Explore this charming medieval town, visit 2 authentic chateaux, and savor a local lunch. Then admire the outstanding landscape while biking from vineyard to vineyard.
Saint-Émilion, 1 of Bordeaux's 4 red-wine regions, is perched on a limestone rock 22 miles (35 km) from Bordeaux. After a short train or minivan ride, walk through this small medieval town, learning about its rich history, exceptional beauty, and prestigious wine. Explore its winding cobbled streets and pass its tightly fitted ochre houses, old churches, and cloisters. Along the way, admire its imposing ancient tower and aged-stone gateways.
After your walk, begin biking through this UNESCO World Heritage Site toward your first chateau. Ride through exceptional landscapes, admiring the hills covered with vines and dotted with castles. Arrive at a family-run estate and enjoy a delicious lunch in the garden, followed by a cellar visit to learn about winemaking.
Then continue with an easy ride to your second chateau, where you enjoy tasting a Grand Crus Classé (Great Classified Growth) wine and hear all about the vine-to-bottle process. Finish with an easy trip back to Bordeaux.
