About this tour
Roll through Bordeaux's most celebrated terroirs in an iconic Citroën 2CV with Cécilia, a trained sommelier and vineyard specialist. This 4–5 hour circuit sweeps across Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, taking in château grounds and village streets within UNESCO-protected landscapes. You'll walk vineyard rows, descend into working cellars to see winemaking firsthand, then taste three wines selected by the producer themselves. A nostalgic, unhurried way to understand what makes these appellations distinct.

What to expect
Expect a relaxed half-day centred on two appellations rather than a rushed multi-stop blitz. Cécilia collects you for the scenic drive in the 2CV—open-air touring lets you smell the earth and see row variations up close. You'll spend meaningful time at each vineyard: walking the slopes, learning how soil and aspect shape flavour, then ducking into cool cellars to see oak ageing and bottling at work. The winemaker or cellar manager hosts the tasting, walking you through their three expressions. It's conversational, not ceremonial.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a light layer for cellar temperature swings. The 2CV is open-sided, so pack sunscreen and a hat. Service animals welcome. Public transport links available if you'd rather meet Cécilia at a fixed point. Suitable for all fitness levels; terrain is gentle vineyard paths.
