Accompanied by a guide with a passion for French culture and wine, you will have the pleasure not only of discovering the charming village of Saint-Emilion and its vineyards, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also of tasting the different wines produced by 2 estates, one a family-run, small production estate, and the other a more prestigious one, in the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation.
