Bordeaux One-Day Wine tour to Saint-Emilion

9:30 Departure from Bordeaux
10:30 Stop for your first château visit and tasting in the Fronsac appellation around Saint Emilion. At the confluence of the Isle & Dordogne rivers, at the top of the limestone plateau, this impressive Chateau overlooks the Dordogne valley and offers you a plunging view over the river.
Discover the labyrinth of underground cellars, 20 acres of caves, wind your way through 700 000 bottles of ageing wines. The visit ends with a tasting of 3 wines.
12:30 Lunch in a popular restaurant on the banks of the Dordogne river. Enjoy lovely views of the river and the busy little town that is nestled here.
2:00 Chateau visit and tasting in a winery in Pomerol. Did I mention Merlot? Leave your preconceptions at the door. This is not what you may know of as Merlot. Learn what "terroir" has to do with taste.
3:30 Departure for the famous medieval village of Saint Emilion for a guided visit. Free time in this UNESCO World Heritage town to explore on your own and do some shopping.
4:30 Finish your day with a very French "aperitif" (light snack) of cremant and local specialties, bread, cheeses, patés and charcuterie.
5:00 Departure for Bordeaux
