About this activity
Catch the high speed train from Central Paris to Bordeaux and arrive in just two hours, then hop in a private transport to Saint-Émilion. Take a full tour of the historic town with your guide before stopping in a small winery for an introduction to the wide range of wines produced in the region. Then enjoy a tasting in their historic cellars with local cookies as a palate cleanser.
Hopping back in your minibus, head to a nearby chateau for a full tour of the premises, including a stop in the lovely scent garden to test your palate on the various smells and flavors you might encounter in Bordeaux wines. Finally, head to the chateau’s old tower to taste two of their most popular wines.
Before you leave, you’ll sit down for lunch on a terrace overlooking the vineyards. The menu changes seasonally, but think local meat and produce; fresh, natural ingredients; and of course, another glass of wine, on the house.
Your final stop is a much smaller winery that has some of the oldest grapevines in Bordeaux. You’ll learn the story of these wines and enjoy a dégustation à la barrique, in which the owner will tap some of his barrels and fill your glasses straight from them. This tasting includes two different white wines and one claret which is a very old style of wine unique to the region.
Finally, hop back on the bus to Bordeaux city, then catch the train back to Paris. You’ll arrive back in Montparnasse with plenty of time to enjoy a late dinner.

This tour exceeded our expectations and our guide Anatole was amazing. He was very experienced and friendly. Anatole made us feel like he knew us for years. The 3 wineries that we visited were great and spent alot of time with us. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
My husband and I wanted to see the Bordeaux region because of the famous wine that is made there. We had a fantastic day exploring three winery. This area of France is BEAUTIFUL and so full of the old world culture. Our tour guides were marvelous and very knowledgeable about not only the vineyards but also the people who started this tradition of making Bordeaux wine. The high speed train ride was really nice and very comfortable. The lunch at one of the vineyards was wonderful and the food was great. We are so glad we did this tour, it gave us a different view of France and one we will never forget.
