Saint-Émilion & Pomerol wine tour: fine wines experience

Ready to explore the finest wines of Bordeaux's right bank? This Saint-Emilion and Pomerol wine tour takes you deep into the heart of Merlot country — two legendary appellations, three unforgettable stops, and a small group of no more than 9 guests.

2:20 PM – Your English-speaking guide meets you in front of La Cité du Vin, welcomes the group, and previews the afternoon ahead.

2:30 PM – Departure for your Right Bank Bordeaux tour. On the road, your guide will bring the region to life — the history of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, their UNESCO-listed vineyard landscapes, the châteaux that have shaped their reputations, and the role of Merlot in crafting some of the world's most sought-after wines.

• First stop — Pomerol. Your Pomerol vineyard tour begins at a prestigious biodynamic estate, where farming philosophy is as refined as the wines themselves. Your guide will walk you through the vineyard management and the key stages of winemaking, before you explore the fermentation cellar and barrel aging room. The visit ends with a tasting of 3 red wines from the estate — a perfect introduction to what makes Pomerol so singular and so coveted.

• Second stop — Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé. This premium Bordeaux wine tour continues at a classified Saint-Emilion estate, where after a introduction to the château's history and terroir, you'll taste 4 red wines spanning different vintages. It's a rare opportunity to see firsthand how the climate shapes each harvest — and to draw your own conclusions about the differences between Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, side by side.

• Third stop — the village of Saint-Emilion. The afternoon closes with a guided walk through one of the most beautiful medieval villages in the region. Your guide will unravel its layered history — a story woven from wine trade, the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, and centuries of limestone quarrying, whose underground galleries now serve as natural wine cellars. The perfect ending? A taste of the famous Saint-Emilion macarons — a sweet finale to an afternoon of exceptional wines.

Around 6:45 PM – Time to head back to Bordeaux. On the return journey, your guide will share their favourite addresses in the city — restaurants, wine bars, and cellar doors worth seeking out.

7:30 PM – Return to Bordeaux (± 5 min.).
