FAQs

Where to meet?

Meet your guide at 12 cours du 30 Juillet, directly in front of the Bordeaux Tourism Office. The tour concludes at this same central location at approximately 05:30 PM.

Is this tour family friendly?

This is an adult-only tour designed for guests aged 18 and older. The experience focuses on wine education and tastings which are not suitable for children.

What if I have concerns about my mobility on this tour?

This tour involves walking on cobblestones in the village and uneven terrain in the vineyards. It is not wheelchair accessible and may be challenging for those with significant mobility issues.

Is lunch included in the tour price?

Lunch is not included, but you will have ample free time in Saint-Émilion village to dine. Your free time for lunch in Saint Emilion will depend on the winery visits that are programmed on the day of your tour. If your tour has 1 winery visit in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, your free time in Saint Emilion will be at about 12.30pm. If your tour has 2 wineries programmed in the morning and 1 in the afternoon, then your free time in Saint Emilion will begin at around 1.30pm. Most restaurants serve all day, but some may stop receiving guests at 2.00pm. We strongly recommend that you ask your guide on the morning of your tour what your program is and to make the necessary restaurant reservation accordingly. As in many attractive villages, Saint Emilion can get pretty busy during peak times.

Can I purchase wine at the châteaux and ship it home?

Yes, most wineries you visit offer their vintages for sale in on-site boutiques. While your guide can help you carry a few bottles back to the minivan, many estates also coordinate professional international shipping if you wish to send a larger collection or several cases directly to your home.
