Pick up at your ship in Bordeaux and depart for the village of Saint Emilion.The history of the village goes back to medieval times and the whole jurisdiction is classified as UNESCO World Heritage for its natural landscape. The village is made up of fascinating Romanesque churches and ruins stretching all along steep and narrow streets. Concerning the wines of Saint Emilion, known as the right bank, the Romans were the ones who originally planted the vineyards as early as the 2nd century. Reminders of the Roman techniques of wine planting can be seen in some of the estates such as chateau Bellevue owned by world famous Angelus winery. The village was named after the monk Émilian (which then derived into Emilion), a traveling confessor, who settled in a hermitage carved into the rock in the 8th century.
Enjoy a visit and wine tasting in a classified growth Chateau of the appellation. You can then choose to have some free time for personal discovery in the village or choose to book our exclusive private underground tour of the monolithic monuments of Saint Emilion. Return to ship
