Visiting the three...
Visiting the three wineries gave us good appreciation of the rules and processes that create the iconic Bordeaux wines. We also enjoyed the opportunity to explore St Emilion on our own for a couple of hours. Fun day!

Great tour - St. Emilion
Luigi was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, thoughtful and attentive to all of us. The tour covered 3 wine tastings, all were good.

Excellent Tour and Guide!
Our trip was wonderful! Guy was an outstanding guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable about history, wine and the region in general, and was very kind and patient with us. One of our group had a medical issue and needed a pharmacy, but didn’t speak French. Guy came in with her and translated for the pharmacist, which we felt went above and beyond. He was also a very skilled driver, navigating us through traffic from a student protest, and we felt very safe and comfortable. St. Emilion was a charming village and the winery/chateaux experience was very educational. We would highly recommend this tour and Guy in particular!

Great tastes of Bordeaux and St Emilion
Hugo gave a great experience and got us around all the traffic blocks.so we missed out on nothing. Advice for the “explore on our own” parts were great. Tastings were superb and all those guides were helpful and kind in answering lots of questions. Highly recommend.

Saint Emilion Day Trip with Sightseeing Tour & Wine Tastings from Bordeaux: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Saint Emilion Day Trip with Sightseeing Tour & Wine Tastings from Bordeaux cost?
+
Prices start at $183 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 Saint Emilion Day Trip with Sightseeing Tour & Wine Tastings from Bordeaux take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Saint Emilion Day Trip with Sightseeing Tour & Wine Tastings from Bordeaux worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,161 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Saint Emilion Day Trip with Sightseeing Tour & Wine 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 Saint Emilion Day Trip with Sightseeing Tour & Wine Tastings from Bordeaux suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saint Emilion Day Trip with Sightseeing Tour & Wine Tastings from Bordeaux?
+
Around 406 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saint Emilion Day Trip with Sightseeing Tour & Wine 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.
