What To Expect

Landes
We’ll pick you up promptly for a two and a half hour drive to our first stop, the lovely village of Saint-Émilion. Don't worry, time will pass quickly because our guide will fill you in on what we’re going to see. We’ll cross Les Landes, one of the largest pine forests in Europe, created by Napoleon III to stimulate the economy of what was then a big swampy, sandy wasteland. We’ll stop for a coffee and a croissant, of course (we’re in France, after all!).

2 hours • Admission Ticket Free

Saint-Emilion
Saint-Émilion could be a set for a French romantic comedy but no, it’s real: a town of cobblestone streets that is devoted to wine production, and with excellent tips for lovers of gastronomy and architecture (an underground church totally excavated in rock in the Middle Ages? Yes!). More than enough reasons to be considered a UNESCO heritage site.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

After the walk, we’ll visit a family 'château' that has been producing wine since the 17th century. We’ll get to know its corners and walk through the vineyards (some of the oldest on the planet), where magic happens. We’ll try three Grand Cru Classé wines because a class in “theory” without the “practice” isn’t the way to retain concepts. ;-)

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

La Cave Dourthe
We’ll discover more wine secrets in the back-office of a local winery, as well as the greatness of this crop in this corner of France. Actually, we should say GREATNESS, all caps: did you know that there are more than 60 different Designations of Origin on the banks of the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde rivers? And that more than 10,000 different wines are produced here? To understand all this, we have a sommelier to give us a masterclass and tasting (five great wines from different Bordeaux denominations) about the fascinating world of wine.

Amazing, unique way to experience Bordeaux
Michael_B, 30-07-2022
All around amazing experience and incredible guide. Every detail of the experience was thoughtful and crafted to provide a top class tour. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and provided interesting education on the region, wines, culture, and history. Would highly recommend this trip and company.
Ikusnahi Tours is a Must!!!!

We did this tour from San Sebastian since it was our first time going to France and really had an amazing time, Ernes was super friendly and clear on the expectations for this trip and made us feel comfortable the whole time, both the wineries were great and exceeded our expectations! We also did the lunch after paired with wines and was also a beautiful location and a great gastronomical experience, will definitely recommend them and book with them the next time we are in the area!
Outstanding!

Mikel took on a full day wine tour in Sept. 2018. Entire day was very well done and we would book again.
Ikusnahi Tours a MUST when in San Sabestian
Douglas H, 03-08-2018
My wife and I had the best time our tours while in San Sebastián. We learned so much about San Sebastián culture, Bordeaux wine country, food, wine, and more. We have taken tours in various European cities, and the two tours from Ikisnahi were the best. I strongly recommend booking Bordeaux and San Sebastián Pinxos tours.
Outstanding

Excellent tour. Ernes was one of the best hosts/tour guide I’ve ever experienced. The day was informative, relaxing, and enjoyable. The food was wonderful. Good wine.
