Great trip, very knowledgeable and well organized. We biked a lot, learned more, and tasted the best wines. Sure it is a bit of money, but it is an incredible way to get out of St. Emilion and access some chateaux that perhaps you would never see. Actual wine drinking was kept to a reasonable level, for safety reasons, and then at the end we tasted 7 wines in a wine shop in St. Emilion buying several of those for dinner that evening. Theo, our guide was GREAT! Can't recommend this excursion enough!

First and foremost be ready to exercise and savor wine! The ride and views of the region were spectacular, but the pase of the ride did not allow for much time photos of the chateus, grapevines, rolling hills, and greenery, but it was totally enjoyable. It was an introduction to electric pedal-assisted bikes which was really cool after you get the hang of it!
Our guide was great, and provided a lot of history and dialogue alon g the way, and the charcutarie lunch was very delicious. Purchased wine from the wineries visited.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
We’re delighted that you enjoyed the spectacular scenery, wine tastings, e-bikes, your guide’s insights, and the delicious charcuterie lunch.
We also appreciate your feedback about the pace and having more time for photos—we’ll keep it in mind as we continue improving our tours.
We hope you enjoy the wines you brought home and that we can welcome you back again!
This was both good fun and highly informative. Nicolae was an excellent guide. He lead us safely and had a thorough understanding and knowledge about Saint-Emilion vineyards and wines as well as surrounding areas. The picnic lunch was very good too.

What a lovely review!
We’re so happy to hear that you had a fun and informative day discovering Saint-Émilion with Nicolas.
We’re also glad you enjoyed the picnic lunch – a perfect way to take a break surrounded by the vineyards!
Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to share your experience.
This bike trip with Rustic Vines was fantastic! We rode on paved roads, cobblestone roads, dirt roads, and dirt paths that were literally through the vineyards. The electric pedaling assist on the bikes was great with Eco, Touring, Sport, and Turbo modes. The bikes were in great condition, shifted smoothly and easily, and nobody dropped a chain. Yurin was a great guide and made the trip more enjoyable. The wineries were good, picnic lunch was great, and the tasting room in the town of St Emilion served us 5 EXCELLENT wines to taste. 2 thumbs up!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to Saint-Émilion for another great day of cycling and wine tasting!
The chateaus were informative, flexible with our schedule and the wine was great.
The tour is recommended
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We’re really happy you enjoyed the châteaux, the flexibility of the day, and of course the wine.
We are in Bordeaux on a Viking cruise, but we think that this event will probably be the highlight of our week. It was absolutely incredible, not only in the scenery, but in our leader, Vincent and his knowledge of Saint Emilion and of course the wine, which was superb.

The guide was very sympathetic, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. They shared interesting facts, answered all our questions with a smile, and created a welcoming atmosphere throughout. Highly recommended!
Only problem, the bike one of the bikes had just one brake....we ask to give us a another one in an other stop, but the bike never arrived. One of us was far behind because of this.
Really fun your! Highly recommend. It would be enhanced if guide would share history/info on area that we were biking through and a little information on biking surface during the tour.
Wow what can I say! An absolutely stunning day out!
I was sceptical of the price v the experience. But this tour is worth every penny. The experience, the knowledge (from our guide) and the lunch were unreal.
100% recommend
I did the tour with my cousin and there were 6 total people on the tour. We had the BEST time! Our tour guide and the Rustic Vines staff were excellent. So kind and helpful both over message and in person. I would 100% do this exact tour again for the experience and the people. Thank you!
Very good experience Vincent was a good tour guide lovely food and wine tasting weather was beautiful and scenery was excellent highly recommend the e bike tour
Very enjoyable, relaxing, and informative tour. The bicycle route is very scenic. The wine makers at the chateaus were so friendly and passionate, and we learnt a lot about what goes into making a great red wine.
Vincent was the best guide and was so caring when my husband fell off his bike, it was a beautiful day, thankyou so much. Cheers Shaz
We had the best time on this tour. Electric bikes were such a nice addition, the countryside was so beautiful and it hardly felt like any exercise at all. Sarah was a wonderful guide, she was very fun and informative as she told us about different wines as we cycled past lots of vineyards and she prepared the most wonderful afternoon picnic for us. Plus the wine was fantastic!
Would definitely recommend - do the tour!!!
Fantástica experiencia! Muy recomendable, una buena forma de conocer la zona de Saint Emilion, conocer algunos chateau y sobre todo probar muchos y muy buenos vinos! Y en especial a Tim, hace que la actividad sea un 10! 🙂🙂🙂👏👏
