After your Medoc adventure, cross the Gironde Estuary to explore the right bank wines of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol.

The area's unique climate and cool soils make it difficult for Cabernet Sauvignon to fully ripen, resulting in wines with excellent aging potential.Visit a selected winery in the Saint-Emilion appellation, where you'll enjoy a wine tasting session and explore the intricacies of these remarkable wines. After the winery visit, head to the medieval village of Saint-Emilion for a brief walking tour with your guide. You will also have some free time for lunch and to explore the village at your leisure.
