About this tour

Departs from Bordeaux with a professional guide steering you through rolling countryside, stopping for château tastings paired with local cheese, a leisurely lunch overlooking the vineyards, and a tasting crawl through lesser-known producers in the medieval centre.

What to expect
After meeting your guide mid-morning, you'll mount a premium e-bike and spend the day navigating the gentle undulations of Saint-Émilion's terrain. The motorised assist handles hills, so you focus on the scenery and stopping points. First comes a reserved château entrance with a sit-down tasting of their portfolio matched against artisanal cheeses. Mid-day you'll spread a picnic blanket in vineyard views with wine flowing. Afternoon shifts to the medieval village proper, where you'll pop into smaller wine bars tucked into old stone buildings, tasting from local winemakers you'd never find at home.
Good to know
E-bikes are battery-assisted but require basic riding competence—no refunds if you can't cycle. The pace suits all fitness levels due to motor assistance. Not ideal if you have cardiovascular concerns. Service animals welcome. Infants must sit with an adult. Bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes.
