About this tour
Spend three hours in Saint-Émilion's vineyard landscape combining wine education with seasonal cooking. Anaïs, a local wine merchant, walks you through tastings from regional producers in an approachable style, while Charlotte prepares a generous spread using the area's finest ingredients. Rather than formal instruction, this is a relaxed gathering in carefully chosen settings—a sunlit orangery, a 16th-century estate, or a table nestled among the vines—where you'll leave with both full bellies and practical knowledge to apply at home.

What to expect
You'll arrive at one of three atmospheric locations and settle in while Charlotte finishes preparing the meal. Anaïs introduces wines one by one, explaining what makes each distinct without jargon or stuffiness. Food and wine are paced together—think generous plates built on what's seasonal and available from nearby producers. Conversation flows naturally; there's no formal presentation, just a shared table where you eat, drink, and talk. Expect two to three hours of unhurried eating and tasting, learning details you can actually use when you're cooking or shopping back home.
Good to know
Meals and all drinks are included. You'll need your own transport to the venue (taxis or rental recommended). Prams and strollers are welcome if you're travelling with young children. Service animals are permitted.
