La Maison de la Fleur
Charm and conviviality
La Maison de la Fleur is a charming gîte adjoining the château, offering an idyllic panorama of the vineyards.
This XIXᵉ century building features 3 bedrooms upstairs (all decorated with care), two lounges (including a billiard room overlooking the chai), two dining rooms and a large kitchen, opening onto an enclosed garden with large secure swimming pool.
This spacious, convivial setting is ideal for an exceptional stay with family or friends. Every detail (fireplaces, exposed stonework, noble textiles) recalls the authenticity of the place, for top-of-the-range comfort as close as possible to the terroir.
Le Pressoir Saint-Georges
Relaxation and well-being
This adjoining building offers 5 spacious rooms (for a total capacity of around 17 people) and a private wellness area.
Sauna and private Jacuzzi will provide exceptional moments of relaxation with family or friends.
This warm, contemporary setting extends the winegrowing ambience of the estate, offering a playful, elegant atmosphere.
Le Pavillon
Contemporary design
Le Pavillon is an outbuilding that has been completely refurbished in a contemporary style. It comprises 3 modern rooms, decorated in bright, uncluttered tones and equipped with all modern comforts.
Its interior architecture blends clean lines and noble materials, for a cosy and elegant stay.
Discreet and intimate, this design space harmoniously complements the estate’s range of accommodation.
How to organize an unusual night in a vineyard?
To make the most of an unusual night in a vineyard, there are a number of things to think about. The first step is to choose the wine region that appeals to you. If you like dry white wines, the Loire Valley or Vignoble Nantais are ideal options. Conversely, for lovers of full-bodied reds, the Bordeaux or South-West regions are more appropriate.
Always book several weeks or even months in advance. Some accommodations are fully booked right from the start of the season. Note that many wineries open between April and September, with more visitors in summer.
Don’t forget complementary services: a local breakfast, a wine aperitif or a bottle of wine from the estate delivered to your accommodation can transform your evening.
What to see and do in Saint Emilion
A stay near Saint-Émilion is an opportunity to discover an exceptional heritage, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the heart of one of France’s most famous vineyards. The medieval town, built on a limestone promontory, will seduce you with its cobbled streets, monolithic monuments and panoramic views over the Dordogne valley.

I highly recommend a visit to the monolithic church, entirely carved out of the rock in the 11th century. Its size and preservation make it unique in Europe. A few steps away, climb the Tour du Roy for a breathtaking view of the red-tiled roofs and rows of vines as far as the eye can see.
The Cordeliers cloister is also a must-see, especially for tasting a local crémant in a setting steeped in history.
Just 4 km away, the charming village of Montagne is well worth a visit for its small family-run estates. 10 km away, Libourne offers a picturesque market and a pleasant river port on the Isle. For a bucolic stroll, the Château de Vayres, 17 km away, combines formal gardens and Renaissance architecture. And 25 km away, don’t miss Castillon-la-Bataille, famous for its re-enactment of the famous battle of 1453.
Each stop enriches your discovery of the Gironde region.
Wine tourism activities: much more than just accommodation
Sleeping in unusual accommodation is already an experience in itself, but what really enriches your stay in a vineyard are the activities offered around wine and the terroir. Wine tourism in and around Bordeaux has undergone a profound evolution: today, wineries are no longer content to simply offer tastings.

You can, for example, take part in a guided tour of the vineyards with commentary by the winemaker himself, discover the different stages of vinification or try out blending workshops to create your own cuvée.
Some estates also organize original experiences, such as tastings in troglodytic cellars, wine walks or gourmet picnics among the vines.
Is the accommodation suitable for couples and families?
Yes, the large Maison de la Fleur and Le Pavillon can accommodate 6 and 3 people respectively, while Le Pressoir offers a convivial space for groups (17 people in all). The estate is designed to guarantee privacy and conviviality for couples and families.
What facilities and services are on offer?
Our accommodations feature en-suite bedrooms, fully-equipped kitchens and furnished living rooms. Depending on the type of accommodation, you’ll enjoy a secure outdoor swimming pool, a billiards room, a garden and a private wellness area (sauna/jacuzzi).
We also offer additional services (breakfast, home chef, electric bikes, etc.) to enhance your stay.
Do you offer wine-related activities?
Absolutely. The estate organizes private tours of the winery and wine tastings. The conciergerie can also offer blending workshops, personalized tasting sessions and vineyard walks for a complete discovery of the terroir.
