After a delicious breakfast at the estate, you’ll head off to the medieval town of Saint-Emilion and its prestigious vineyards, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Take the time to stroll through the city’s narrow streets and stop off at one of the many restaurants. In the afternoon, visit Château Couvent des Jacobins, a Grand Cru Classé in the heart of Saint-Emilion. This visit is followed by a commented tasting of 2 wines. This château was built in the 13th century, right in the heart of Saint-Émilion.
Thanks to the quality of these exceptional vintages, its wines were recognized as some of the most distinctive in the Saint-Émilion region as early as the 16th century. Today, the Joinaud-Borde family, owners for over a century, continue the great tradition of the noble vineyards of yesteryear.
