Then, head to Château La Croizille, known for its innovative approach to winemaking. Take in one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the Saint-Émilion region.
Enjoy a guided tasting of three exceptional Bordeaux wines, including a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru.

July 11, 2025 at 4:54 amThe tour was informative and it was cool to see the difference between as well as taste the difference between the two properties. We had the picnic and I honestly didn’t have high hopes but it was great! They had two covered areas with tables over looking the vineyards. I opted for vegetarian and had a variety of fruits, berries and dip. My husband’s included a variety of hams with the veggies. We were also given a baguette to share. We each got a a glass of wine of our choosing and a cup of coffee with a canella (local pastry). Everything was fresh, delicious and we were sufficiently full. Thank you to our tour guide Isabella!

July 1, 2025 at 6:29 pmThe tour was nice, reasonably quick between the two places so its easier if you have a bit of a base knowledge, but felt just right for what we wanted! Looking at the difference between the two chateaus was interesting and the views were amazing! The wine we tasted was excellent and the picnic was really nice with good food!

June 18, 2025 at 5:30 pmThe tour was great- the wineries were set in beautiful, peaceful surroundings with fantastic views. The guide was great and the tour was informative and interesting. Wines and the picnic were delicious. We stayed for an extra glass and could have happily sat there all afternoon- it was so lovely. Get your guide customer services were really helpful when we were running late due to all the trains being cancelled and accommodated our late arrival time. Had a lovely afternoon all round. Side note- It was hot walking to the winery from the station so if you don’t cope well walking in the heat be mindful of this when booking in hot weather.
