St-Emilion & Médoc Wine Day Tour: Chateaus, Tastings and Lunch
Overview
At Rustic Vines, we believe that great wine experiences are about more than just tasting wine—they are about understanding the region, meeting the people behind the wines, and creating genuine memories.
Discover the world’s most famous wine regions in just one day. This unforgettable wine tour takes you through the stunning landscapes of both Saint-Émilion and the Médoc, where you’ll experience the unique character and contrast of three châteaux.
Begin your day in the UNESCO-listed medieval village of Saint-Émilion, take time to explore this picturesque setting while tasting some of its outstanding wines.
Continue with a visit to a local winery in Saint-Émilion, where you’ll enjoy a guided tour, discover the winemaking process, and savor a selection of wines and a delightful french style picnic lunch.
In the afternoon, travel along the renowned Médoc “Route des Châteaux,” elegant estates, and natural beauty. This prestigious region is celebrated for its Cabernet Sauvignon–based wines.
