Good to Know

The tour lasts approximately seven hours including transport time. You'll meet at the Rustic Vines Agency in Bordeaux for departure. This experience is not wheelchair accessible due to uneven terrain at the wineries and in Saint-Emilion's medieval streets.

Bring identification as you'll need to show ID at each winery. Alcohol is only served to guests of legal drinking age. The tour involves moderate walking through vineyard cellars and the historic village, so wear comfortable shoes suitable for cobblestones and potentially uneven surfaces.
