The Famous Monk Tour
Saint Émilion Wine Tour
Join us on a breathtaking wine tour to Saint Emilion : visit two contrasting Châteaux and discover the UNESCO-listed medieval village of Saint Emilion. The Half Day Tour will be a similar experience but just one Château visit.
Naturally, the Famous Monk Tour includes many different wine tastings and a few facts to give you a better understanding of the region.
Indulge in amazing picturesque scenery, excellent wine, rich history and a French lunch* (with baguette!), all in the comfort of a small group with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Because after all, there’s no better way than to learn about wine than by experience!
