Great experience!
We had a great trip with Roxane and Marie. They were so knowledgeable and passionate about wine and Bordeaux itself! We booked a private tour which was perfect for us as we took our child. The chateaux we visited was beautiful and across the 2 tastings we tasted 13 different wines! We felt the trip was good value considering it was private and of the highest quality.

Fabulous day in wine country.
Really knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide. We (my brother and I) had a lovely drive to and through the wine areas in Bordeaux. He selected wonderful wineries, a fantastic restaurant, a beautiful ancient town and a really fun wine shop in the St. Emilion. I would HIGHLY recommend this, and will take another tour with him if return to the area.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure welcoming you and your brother and sharing the beauty of the Bordeaux wine regions with you. I’m delighted that you enjoyed the wineries, the restaurant, the historic village, and of course the wine shop in Saint-Émilion. I truly appreciate your recommendation, and I would be very happy to take you on another tour if you return to the area. Warm regards, Gildas

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Saint-Emilion Wine Tour with tastings, from Bordeaux: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Private Saint-Emilion Wine Tour with tastings, from Bordeaux cost?
+
Prices start at $229 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bordeaux usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Saint-Emilion Wine Tour with tastings, from Bordeaux take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bordeaux is not rushed.
Is Private Saint-Emilion Wine Tour with tastings, from Bordeaux worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Saint-Emilion Wine Tour with tastings, from Bordeaux?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Saint-Emilion Wine Tour with tastings, from Bordeaux suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Saint-Emilion Wine Tour with tastings, from Bordeaux?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bordeaux can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bordeaux and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Saint-Emilion Wine Tour with tastings, from Bordeaux start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bordeaux within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bordeaux?
+
On Outty we rank every Bordeaux experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch, Saint-Émilion Afternoon Tour - 2 Grand crus & French apéritif, Graves & Saint-Emilion Wine Tour | 3 Châteaux & Gourmet Picnic. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bordeaux?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bordeaux?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
