A full day on an electric bike, from Place des Quinconces in Bordeaux to the vineyards of Saint-Emilion. Groups stay small, capped at 8 travelers, and a guide leads the whole route. Along the way you get guided visits to 2 chateaux, tastings of 5 to 6 wines, and lunch. Tours run in English plus one other language, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
What is a day on this bike tour actually like?
The format is simple: a full day, on a bike, in the vineyards. Instead of driving from chateau to chateau, you ride between them, which changes how the appellation feels. You notice the changes in the ground, the way the vines are trained, the views that open up as the road bends.
Wine tastings are spaced through the itinerary, so the riding and the drinking alternate rather than stack up. Lunch is included as well, which matters more than it sounds on a full-day outing in a village where good tables fill quickly in season. The exact route, stops and start time are set out on the live booking page, and the tour is rated 5 across 389 reviews.
What does the tour include and what does it cost?
The price is from $221 per person. For that you get a full day of guided riding through the Saint-Emilion vineyards, wine tastings along the route, and lunch. The tour carries a rating of 5 across 389 reviews.
Anything beyond the stated inclusions, such as bottles you buy at the chateaux or personal extras, is on you. Free cancellation applies, so if your plans shift you are not locked in. The live booking page lists the exact meeting point, start time and current price before you commit.
Who should book this tour rather than another one?
This tour suits travelers who want a full day out and do not mind a long ride between tastings. You meet at Place des Quinconces in Bordeaux, so it works well if you are based in the city rather than in the village itself. The cap of 8 keeps things conversational, and the electric bikes make the distance manageable even for casual riders. If a full day feels like too much, the half-day e-bike option with wine and cheese covers similar ground in less time.
What to know first

Yes. The tour offers free cancellation, so you are not locked in if your itinerary shifts. The exact cutoff time is shown on the live booking page before you pay.
What should I wear and bring for a full day of riding?
Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes you can pedal in, plus a layer for cellar visits, which stay cool. Bring sunscreen, water, and a small bag for anything you buy at the chateaux.
Is this a private tour or do I ride with a group?
It is a small-group tour, not private. The group is capped at 8 travelers, so it stays sociable and easy to manage on the road, but you will be riding with other guests.
Is the $221 price per person or per group?
