Tucked among the vineyards of Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion feels like stepping into another time.
Cobbled streets wind past honey coloured stone buildings, while underground wine cellars and limestone caves run beneath the village. Surrounded by rolling vineyards that have been cultivated since Roman times, it’s one of the most historic wine regions in France and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Days here are built around slow lunches, vineyard visits and unhurried wine tastings, with many châteaux just a short walk or drive from the village itself.
Small and full of character, it’s one of the most scenic places to experience Bordeaux wine country.
BD tip: Climb the bell tower for one of the best views over the vineyards.
