Bordeaux: Saint-Émilion Countryside Gravel Bike Tour｜France

Go beyond Saint-Émilion. Discover the wine country few visitors ever experience.

Begin your adventure with a comfortable round-trip transfer from Bordeaux to the Saint-Émilion wine region. Leave the city behind and discover the vineyards from a different perspective on a premium gravel bike.

Ride approximately 25 km through quiet country roads, vineyard lanes and gravel paths, following a carefully designed route through the rolling landscapes surrounding Saint-Émilion. Rather than simply cycling between famous wine estates, you'll discover the countryside, villages and landscapes that have shaped this world-renowned wine region.

Along the way, pass through landscapes surrounding prestigious estates such as Château Angélus, Château Pavie, Château Cheval Blanc and Château La Dominique, while also discovering smaller, more confidential wine properties tucked away among the vineyards.

The route takes you through traditional wine-growing villages, peaceful countryside and scenic viewpoints, with time to stop for photographs and enjoy the landscape. The pace is adapted to the group, making the experience about discovery rather than performance.

Around lunchtime, enjoy a French-style picnic in a beautiful outdoor setting surrounded by vineyards and nature. Relax, enjoy local food and take in the atmosphere of the Saint-Émilion countryside.

You can also choose to add an optional winery visit and wine tasting, subject to availability. The tasting is paid directly to the winery and offers an opportunity to discover the local wine culture and meet passionate people working in the region.

After the ride, enjoy free time in the historic village of Saint-Émilion. Wander through its medieval streets, admire its remarkable architecture, browse local shops, stop for a coffee or simply enjoy the atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

With a maximum of 4 participants, a local guide, premium gravel bikes, round-trip transportation from Bordeaux and a picnic included, this experience offers a more personal and active way to discover Saint-Émilion.

Rather than simply visiting the famous village, you'll experience the vineyards, villages, quiet roads and hidden landscapes beyond the postcard.
