What to expect

  1. Place de la Comedie
    Pass by
    Usual starting point for this day of discovery of the right bank of the Bordeaux vineyards.
  2. Saint-Emilion
    45m
    Visit the village of Saint-Émilion
    During your program, you will discover through the charming cobbled streets, the pretty little medieval village of Saint-Emilion. Your guide will tell you the many anecdotes and adventures of its long and tumultuous history. You will discover how the religious practice and the vineyard are mixed and complement each other. You will relive the history of France, which has made this village an exceptional site classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    During your stroll through the village, you can stop at one of the many wine merchant stalls to bring back bottles of your favorite châteaux.
  3. Eglise Monolithe de Saint-Emilion
    45m · Admission ticket not included
    In the heart of the city, the monolithic church recalls the religious activity of the city in the Middle Ages and intrigues with its unusual design. If it reveals itself to the visitor by the position of a 68-metre-high bell tower, it then slips behind the elegance of three openings in the façade and an often closed Gothic portal. The church is as surprising as it is fragile!
  4. 1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    The first historic wine bar in Saint-Emilion, L’Envers du Décor was founded in 1987 by François des Ligneris and taken over in February 2017 by the Perse family, property owner of Château Pavie and the Inn de Pavia. Over the years, L’Envers du Décor, the emblematic restaurant of Saint-Emilion, has become the unmissable address of the village.

    The name of the restaurant is given as an example. The selected restaurant may differ depending on availability on that day. The restaurant chosen will offer equivalent services.
  5. Chateau de Sales
    1h 15m · Admission ticket not included
    Château de Sales is located northwest of the Pomerol appellation. With 47.60 hectares of vines, on the 90 hectares of the estate, the estate has the most important vineyard in the AOC Pomerol. The boundaries of the property are the same as in 1578 to within three hectares, lost during the revolution.

    Example of a visit.
    The visit you will make depends on the availability of the castles.
  6. Chateau La Gaffeliere
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Château La Gaffelière first evokes a Grand Vin, the first Grand Cru Ranked since the origin of the Saint-Emilion Ranking in 1959. The vineyards have been present on the grounds of Château La Gaffelière since Galloman times as attested by numerous mosaics discovered by Count Leo de Malet Roquefort in 1969.

    Example of a visit.
    The tasting you will make depends on the availability of the castles.
