Itinerary Detail
After lunch in a local restaurant, our journey will continue to another tasting in Pomerol where we will continue our appreciation of the region's varietals. As we enjoy our expertly selected wines, our guide will take us through how to best discern the qualities present in the wine, as well as inform us as to what makes these selections distinct to the Right Bank in Bordeaux. We'll move from this winery to visit the village of Saint Emilion itself, a charming medieval town with an interesting history stretching over 2,000 years. (It all started with a monk named Emilion, we are told). We'll finish up our day with more wine tasting, either at a local wine store or another wine chateau. We'll drive back to our Bordeaux accommodation filled with our new-found education and appreciation of Bordeaux wine.
