Vineyard tour
Remy, our guide, was knowledgeable, funny and kind. We toured two vineyards which were beautiful and interesting. We met the owner/winemaker at Clos des Abbesses and learning about the complexities of wine making was fascinating. Remy brought us the most fantastic lunch in the wine tasting room. Visiting Saint Emillon was otherworldly. I would like to go back and spend a day or two. Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic Wine Tour
Julie was a fantastic guide. We had three sets of tasting and a lovely lunch. Julie was very informative about Bordeaux Wine and the history of Bordeaux. A good lunch was provided and the drive to the wineries was very safe.

Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $188 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 Food and Wine Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Food and Wine Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 326 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
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 Food and Wine Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
Around 114 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour 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.
What is included in Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
Included: Lunch; Bottled water; All chateaus visits and wine tastings; Driver / Tour guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
TRAM STOP B and C : "Place de la Bourse", then 2 minutes walk Car Park : Parking Indigo Bourse Jean Jaures, exit "Rue Saint-Remi" then 2 minutes walk Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Bordeaux. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
