What to expect
You'll be collected and driven to a château for the first tasting session, where wines are matched against either chocolate or cheese—whichever you've chosen. After an hour or so, you'll move into Saint-Émilion proper, where narrow cobbled streets lead past shuttered shops and wine merchants. A guide points out the church and ramparts, but the real focus is stopping at village wine bars to taste further selections. You're moving slowly, talking, eating, drinking. By the end you'll have covered perhaps five to seven wines without feeling rushed.
Good to know
Prams and strollers work fine in the village, though the cobbles are uneven. Small children sit on adult laps during transport. Public transport alternatives exist nearby if needed. No need to budget for tips.
