Ride through the golden vineyards of Saint-Émilion in the sidecar of a vintage motorcycle — wind in your hair, Pomerol and Fronsac rolling past. An utterly cinematic, one-of-a-kind way to explore one of the world's greatest wine landscapes.
What to expect
Your driver-guide, helmeted and smiling, picks you up and sets off through the cobbled lanes of Saint-Émilion and out into the vine-covered plateau. You pause at panoramic viewpoints over the Dordogne valley, roll slowly past legendary château gates, and stop at a small estate for a private tasting poured by the producer. The pace is entirely yours — stop whenever the light, a view, or a label catches your eye.
Good to know
Saint-Émilion is 10 minutes from Libourne port. Sidecar capacity is 1–2 guests; groups of 4+ should book multiple sidecars simultaneously. Morning departures are best for golden-hour vineyard light. Book directly through Saint-Émilion Tourism well ahead of your cruise date.
