What to expect
You'll meet at the office in Saint-Émilion's centre, collect your e-bike and helmet, then head out onto quiet vineyard tracks and minor roads. The pace is steady—the motor handles inclines so you're not labouring uphill. You'll pull into two working estates where staff show you the production process and pour samples; bring a notebook if you want to remember names. Mid-tour, you'll settle into a field or courtyard for a laid-out picnic. Back in the village by late afternoon, your guide points out the Gothic church and narrow lanes before the final tasting. The whole day unfolds outdoors, so dress for changeable weather.
