Two days of discovery in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site

Saint-Émilion is more than just beautiful vineyards: it's a true treasure, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999. Throughout the weekend of May 4 and 5, 2025, châteaux, underground cellars, and iconic vineyards will joyfully open their doors.

On the agenda: guided tours, free tastings, nature walks, gourmet markets, and activities for kids. Whether you're a history buff, a wine enthusiast, or simply curious, each detour among the vines will be a chance to encounter exceptional châteaux and share moments with passionate winemakers.


Tastings, food trucks, and fun in a family-friendly atmosphere

This festive weekend is also a wonderful opportunity to (re)discover the diversity of the appellations: Saint-Émilion, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Lussac Saint-Émilion, and Puisseguin Saint-Émilion. Between sips of wine, enjoy delicious treats from the many food trucks, local products found at the farmers' markets, and tasty activities that will enhance the experience and delight both young and old.

The setting? Rolling landscapes as far as the eye can see, medieval streets, sunny terraces... in short, everything you need for a magical getaway less than an hour from Bordeaux.

Two contests to extend the Saint-Émilion experience

This year, the celebration continues even after the visit! Two contests are organized for the occasion. A major digital contest on Instagram in collaboration with Le Bonbon Bordeaux, where you can try your luck to win a fantastic prize of 24 bottles from the Saint-Émilion Jurisdiction appellations. A second contest will take place on-site at the participating châteaux, with several bottle lots to win throughout the weekend. What a great way to bring the Saint-Émilion experience home and raise a glass (again) to the beauty of this exceptional terroir!
