Wander the medieval village of Saint‑Émilion
A UNESCO‑listed maze of cobbled lanes, cloisters and the famed monolithic church. Climb the bell tower for sweeping views of the slopes, then browse artisan shops and local specialties.
Vineyard e‑bike loop
Follow dry‑stone walls and hamlets, stopping at vineyard edges to read the soils. E‑bikes make the rolling terrain accessible, linking Saint‑Émilion, Pomerol and Lalande‑de‑Pomerol at an easy pace.
Libourne by the water
Ten minutes from the vines, stroll the riverside quays at the Dordogne–Isle confluence. For a more active break, head to Dagueys lake for gentle paths, birdlife and quiet picnic spots. A perfect reset after morning tastings.
Artistic immersion in Bordeaux city
Switch gears with contemporary exhibitions, 18th‑century architecture and immersive art experiences. Blend heritage with modernity before drifting back to vineyard calm.
Foodie interlude: markets and artisans
From Entre‑deux‑Mers cheeses to caramelised canelés and specialty chocolate, the region’s markets and shops brim with treats. Build a picnic basket for a terrace pause overlooking the vines.
Tie it back to your visit at Château La Fleur de Boüard
Based in Néac, the estate is an ideal hub. Alternate an active slot (walk, ride, culture) with contemplative time at the cellar and a guided tasting. The flexible format suits families and corporate groups alike.
