One Day Bordeaux Wine Tour: Pomerol & St Emilion, Fronsac

Exploring the prestigious appellations of Pomerol, Saint-Émilion, and Fronsac. This exclusive tour offers a unique opportunity to discover the rich wine heritage, stunning landscapes, and world-renowned chateaux that define these iconic regions. From the rolling vineyards of Saint-Émilion to the concentrated power of Pomerol and the hidden gems of Fronsac, this tour will immerse you in the history, culture, and winemaking expertise that makes Bordeaux a global wine destination.

Discover Saint-Émilion’s rich wine Heritage and UNESCO World Status

Our journey begins in Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its picturesque medieval architecture and rolling vineyards. This region is steeped in history, offering a unique blend of culture and winemaking tradition. Our Saint-Émilion wine tour invites you to explore prestigious wineries and enjoy private tastings at renowned estates. While specific chateaux visited can be customized to your preferences, some examples of the exceptional properties in Saint-Émilion include Château Angelus, Château Pavie, Château Figeac, Château Beauséjour Bécot, Château Canon la Gaffelière, and Château Troplong Mondot. Whether you're a seasoned wine lover or new to the world of wine, our expert guides will share their deep knowledge of the region, making your experience both educational and enjoyable. You'll gain insights into the unique terroir, grape varietals, and winemaking techniques that contribute to Saint-Émilion's world-class wines.

Discover the Prestige of Pomerol

Next, we'll venture into the prestigious Pomerol appellation, home to some of Bordeaux's most sought-after wines. Known for its small size and exceptional quality, Pomerol is a treasure trove of hidden gems. While Pomerol does not have an official classification system like the Médoc or Saint-Émilion, its wines are highly regarded by collectors and connoisseurs. This region is known for its Merlot-dominant blends, producing wines that are rich, velvety, and complex. We'll visit select chateaux in Pomerol, offering you the opportunity to taste these exceptional wines and learn about the unique characteristics of this renowned appellation.

Unearth the Hidden Gems of Fronsac

Our tour will also take you to the charming Fronsac appellation, a region often referred to as the "hidden gem" of Bordeaux. Fronsac boasts a long history of winemaking and offers a diverse range of terroirs. The wines of Fronsac are known for their elegance, balance, and complexity, often offering excellent value compared to their more famous neighbors. We'll visit select Fronsac chateaux, giving you the opportunity to discover the unique charm and character of these often-overlooked wines.
