1.Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 696 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $217Our pick

Review of Saint-Émilion’s small-group e-bike wine tour from Bordeaux, with chateau tastings, picnic lunch, village time, and practical tips.

“We were a little disappointed at first that the rain made biking in St Emilion impossible. Yev our guide was so positive and brought his knowledge and tireless energy to our day of touring that we focused on all the things we could experience rather than not being able to bike. We began walking the cobblestone streets and hearing historical tidbits and appreciating the beautiful architecture. We visited 2 chateaus, tasted delicious wines and even visited an ancient cave. Our last activity was visiting a wine merchant for more tastings. We had the best day ever and highly recommend this tour, our guide Yev and Rustic Vines!!!!”

Ride an e-bike through Saint-Émilion vineyards, tour two châteaux, taste five wines, and enjoy a French lunch from Bordeaux.

“Regis was a wonderful host and tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour so fun and informative. E-bike is the way to best explore this region. The picnic lunch and wine tasting at Chateau Cote de Baleau was very nice and the wines were good. I would suggest for the tour company to consider skipping the organic winery and replace with a Pomerol tasting, for better contrast for guests. Regis was able to sneak us in to a cave for an additional tasting in Saint Emilion, which was truly appreciated.”
