Two appellations, one old car and nobody else aboard. The driver collects your group in Bordeaux, at the hotel, the tourist office or Place de Stalingrad, then points the classic car toward the right bank. Tastings follow at Chateau Taillefer in Pomerol and Chateau Jean Faure Grand Cru Classe in Saint Emilion. Tours run in English plus two other languages, and you can cancel free up to 24 hours before the start.
The day begins in central Bordeaux. Your driver picks the group up at the hotel, the tourist office or Place de Stalingrad, and the classic car leaves the city behind.
From there the route crosses into right bank wine country. Pomerol sits just west of the Saint Emilion vineyards, and the drive between them passes through a landscape UNESCO inscribed in 1999 as the Jurisdiction of Saint-Émilion, one of the first wine territories to earn World Heritage status.
The first tasting takes place at Chateau Taillefer in Pomerol. Then the car moves on to Chateau Jean Faure Grand Cru Classe, on the Saint Emilion side, for a second round of pours. The whole itinerary stays private to your group and can be run in English or one of two other languages.
The headline number is $592.29, and it covers the entire group rather than each traveler. That rate buys:
Lunch and any bottles you take home are paid separately. Should your schedule shift, free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before departure.
This tour suits anyone who wants the car itself to carry some of the romance of the day, rather than sitting in a van between stops. Because the price is per group, couples and small parties who split it come out ahead per head, while solo travelers pay the full figure alone. The half-day shape also frees your evening for dinner back in Bordeaux.
If you would rather pay per person, the Saint Emilion Wine Tour Tasting Half Day from Bordeaux starts at $113.28 per person in a small group. For a full day with lunch included, the Saint-Emilion Food and Wine Day Tour, run by Rustic Vines, covers more ground.
You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, so a late change to your Bordeaux plans does not have to cost you the booking.
Comfortable clothes and flat shoes are the sensible call, since you step in and out of the car and walk on cellar floors and gravel courtyards. A jacket helps in cooler months, and sunglasses earn their keep on bright afternoons in the vineyards.
No. The car, the driver and both tastings, at Chateau Taillefer and Chateau Jean Faure, are reserved for your party alone. The itinerary never mixes in outside travelers.
It is a group rate. The $592.29 total covers the car, the driver and the tastings at both chateaux, so a couple splitting the cost pays close to half that figure each.
Half day · Sidecar
The sidecar seats up to two passengers alongside a driver-guide, and this half day is booked for your party only.
