Cellar of Light: 5 reasons to choose an immersive visit near Saint‑Émilion

Just minutes from Saint‑Émilion, the Cellar of Light turns wine discovery into a sensory narrative. Beyond a technical tour, the scenography, architectural angles and guided tasting help you connect vineyard, cellar and glass. Here are five reasons to make it the anchor of your Right‑Bank day—solo, as a couple, with family or as a group.

Immersive scenography that clarifies the story

The visit weaves a clear arc—from vineyard to cellar, from vinification steps to ageing—so concepts stick. Light and sound aren’t gimmicks; they’re teaching tools that anchor simple tasting cues: appearance, nose, palate, balance and finish.

Contemporary architecture made for framing

Walkways, vats, wood and steel create graphic lines. The cellar light flatters materials and guides the eye, whether you shoot on a phone or a camera—quick, clean frames without disrupting the group.

A guided tasting for every level

Tasting time translates sensations into words. Newcomers gain vocabulary, seasoned drinkers refine Right‑Bank markers by linking styles and vintages—all in a convivial, unhurried format.

Weather‑proof, year‑round comfort

Whether light rain or summer heat, the Cellar of Light stays comfortable in any season—ideal when the forecast shifts or to complement a vineyard stroll. Slots are regular; check the online calendar and language (FR/EN).

The perfect anchor for a Right‑Bank day

Start with a walk around Saint‑Émilion, follow with the immersive visit and close with a convivial table: your day tells a coherent story from landscape to glass. For groups and companies, the visit integrates easily into seminar or incentive programmes nearby.

The "Emile Peynaud" cathedral vat room

The "Emile Peynaud"

Named after one of the oenology pioneers, this vat room with an area of 230m2 can accommodate approximately 120 seated guests. It also allows for dancing under the illuminated vats thanks to its favorable acoustics.

 

Whether it’s organizing a wedding, a family ceremony surrounded by friends, a professional seminar, a press conference, product launch, or business meeting, this space can also extend into the barrel cellar, which can also accommodate about a hundred people. Ideal for dance parties, dinners, directly overlooking the billiard room of the Fleur House, tradition meets modernity seamlessly.

 

Convenient for combining accommodation for the newlyweds and their family, for example, with the celebration taking place in the vat room, connected to the garden and its fountain.
