Saint-Émilion Walking Tour with Cave Wine Tasting
Stand before a church carved directly into limestone rock, then sip wine in a 200-year-old cellar
2 h
Max 20 Guests
A town founded by a hermit and saved by nuns who baked macarons. Clearly, Saint-Émilion has always had its priorities straight. Join our small group walking tour and hear wild stories of hermits, kings, & the 100 Years' War, learn the origins of the macaron, and uncover the history of the largest Monolithic Church in Europe. Then get your reward: two excellent glasses of Saint-Émilion wine inside a 200-year-old subterranean cave. History is much easier to absorb when it's paired with Merlot.
