This private Saint-Emilion night tour from Bordeaux begins at sunset and ends with dinner — revealing the medieval village at its most magical, long after the daytime crowds have gone.
Saint-Emilion by day is alive with bustling crowds of people, and bathed in bright light. But at night, this medieval village becomes mysterious, wistful and alluring. Beat the crowds and make Saint-Emilion your own, strolling along the cobbled streets, ivy overflowing from the rooftops, and passing under the dreamy lamplights as you head to a private tasting, followed by a picnic-style
dinner at a family estate among the vines or a romantic meal at a local restaurant in Saint-Emilion medieval town.
Perfect for an intimate moment between lovers, friends or family, Saint-Emilion By Night offers you the chance to watch the sun setting over the vines, and indulge in the food and wine culture that Saint-Emilion is renowned for. Whether you want to avoid the hoards of people, the daytime heat or want a more intimate experience, this private night wine tour is a rare experience you shall remember forever!

Q&A
Can we buy wine on this tour?
Yes, with the exception of a few very rare estates, it is possible to buy wine after this tour. We can transport the wine back to Bordeaux in the van. Most estates even take care of shipping depending on the country of destination.
How many wines will we taste at each estate?
Between 2 and 3 at each estate.
Are the winery tours private?
The scheduled tours are generally reserved exclusively for Bordeaux Wine Trails visitors and are mostly private. Some wine estates won’t guarantee that the tour will be private and it is possible that other people may join us on that particular tour, but in any case the total number of guests on tour would never exceed 12.
