Named after a Breton monk from the eighth century whose followers started wine production in the area, St Emilion is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a beautiful place to spend a couple of hours.

After the scenic drive, you’ll have a 45-minute walking tour of St Emilion. You’ll then get free time to explore this sleepy town on your own. Grab some lunch, stroll the narrow streets full of beautiful building or engage in  retail therapy in the local shops. You can even enjoy a wine tasting in one of the many wine cellars in the village before returning to Bordeaux.
