About From Bordeaux: full day wine trip to St Emilion and Margaux

Escape the city and immerse yourself in the legendary wine country surrounding Bordeaux on this full-day guided tour through two of France's most celebrated wine-growing regions. From the medieval charm of UNESCO-listed Saint-Émilion to the grand châteaux of the Médoc, you'll sip exceptional wines, savour a countryside picnic, and discover why this corner of France has been producing world-class vintages for centuries.

Local Legends & Stories

Saint-Émilion owes its name to an Irish monk named Emilion, who is said to have retreated to a cave in the area in the 8th century to live as a hermit — his legacy lives on in the monolithic church that dominates the village skyline. The Médoc region gained its global reputation in the 18th century when a British poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, fell so deeply in love with the area that he declared it 'the most beautiful stretch of country in the world.'

Must Do Experiences

Stroll the cobblestone lanes of Saint-Émilion, a beautifully preserved UNESCO World Heritage village perched above the Dordogne valley
Sample eight glasses of carefully selected wines across three distinguished wineries with an expert guide
Enjoy a rustic château picnic featuring Basque charcuterie, local cheeses, and fresh bread under the shade of ancient vines
Learn the art of wine appreciation from a knowledgeable guide who shares the stories behind each label

Hidden Gems

Ask your guide about the hidden Romanesque church carved into the limestone cliff in Saint-Émilion — it dates back to the 12th century and is one of the most remarkable underground monuments in all of France
The village of Saint-Émilion has a secret network of underground tunnels and cellars that were once used to smuggle wine during the French Revolution — your guide may reveal these lesser-known passages
Many of the Médoc châteaux have private gardens that are rarely open to the public; keep an eye out for the rose gardens and herb patches that feed the estate kitchens

What Makes it Special

This tour covers two of Bordeaux's most prestigious wine regions — Médoc and Saint-Émilion — in a single day, giving you a remarkably comprehensive taste of what makes Bordeaux wine world-famous
You will visit three different wineries and taste eight wines in total, each selected to showcase the distinct character of its region, from bold Cabernet Sauvignons to elegant Merlot-dominated blends
The exclusive château picnic break lets you experience the aristocratic lifestyle of Bordeaux's wine aristocracy, complete with local delicacies paired with a glass of estate wine

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The harvest season from September to October is the most magical time to visit, as the vineyards burst with colour and the air is thick with the scent of fermenting grapes. Spring months of April and May offer milder weather and fewer crowds, making it ideal for those who prefer a more intimate experience.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Arrive early at Saint-Émilion to capture the village bathed in golden morning light — the limestone buildings glow beautifully in the soft sunrise
The view from the terrace of the Église Monolithe, overlooking the vineyards stretching to the horizon, is one of the most iconic shots in all of Bordeaux
At the châteaux, look for dramatic light filtering through the vine rows during late afternoon — this 'golden hour' creates stunning backlit compositions of the grapevines

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When visiting châteaux in the Médoc, it is customary to dress smart-casual — while there is no strict dress code, showing respect for the estate's traditions is appreciated In Saint-Émilion, take time to greet shopkeepers with a polite 'Bonjour' before entering — this small gesture of courtesy is deeply valued in French culture Wine tastings are a leisurely affair; take your time to swirl, sniff, and savour each pour rather than rushing through the glasses

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

Fête des Vins in Saint-Émilion, usually held in June, transforms the village into a vibrant celebration of local wine with tastings, live music, and street food stalls
Réserve Générale in Bordeaux, held annually in early September, is the region's biggest wine event where many châteaux open their doors for special tastings and tours
Halloween in the Vineyards, a seasonal festival in October, features illuminated châteaux, ghostly vineyard walks, and special wine pairings inspired by the autumn harvest
