The itinerary allows for independent exploration of the village, where you can discover cloisters, chapels, and hidden squares at your own pace. Lunch is not provided, giving you the flexibility to choose your dining options. In the afternoon, the tour includes an underground visit to reveal Saint-Émilion's limestone heritage and features Europe's largest medieval monolithic church. The day concludes with a tasting of three wines at Château Champion, where you will have the opportunity to engage with the winemaker. The return to Bordeaux is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. This experience is suitable for wine enthusiasts and those interested in history and culture.
