OUR TOURS
Ready to explore one of the world’s most infamous wine regions? Don’t worry about finding a babysitter, this family-friendly wine tour ensures parents and children alike get to discover a taste of the French lifestyle. Get comfy in one of our minivans and set off to the prestigious vineyards of Saint-Emilion. First stop, a child-friendly Grand Cru or Grand Cru Classé chateau, with a wine tasting for the parents, and organized activities for the kids.
Our next chateau stop includes another wine tasting, as well as a privatized picnic style lunch in the middle of the vineyard. Plenty of space for the children to run around whilst the parents relax with a nice glass of wine.
The tour continues with a guided tour of the medieval village of Saint-Emilion, a UNESCO world heritage site, full of cobbled streets that wind through ancient limestone houses and boutiques. Whilst the parents peruse the wine shops and learn about the history, the children will enjoy a treasure hunt!
Before heading back to Bordeaux, there’s one last stop at a local chocolate shop, followed by a visit at the nearby ice-creamery for a final tasty treat for the kids.
