What to expect
You'll be collected and travel in a beautifully maintained convertible through rolling vineyard terrain toward the hilltop village of Saint-Emilion.

Expect to spend time in cellars and tasting rooms, learning production methods whilst sampling wines. The drive itself is leisurely, allowing conversation and landscape appreciation. Bring a light layer; convertible motoring can cool quickly. Wine tastings typically cost 10–60€ per property and are paid separately.
