You will be met at 2:00 pm at the Bordeaux train station or airport and taken to your hotel in St. Emilion for the afternoon/evening. The medieval town of St. Emilion has one of the most important architectural heritages in Europe and it is listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO. Standing proudly on the top of a hill overlooking the Dordogne valley, the village, with its sun baked, Roman tiled roofs, was built in the shape of an amphitheater. You will have the opportunity to visit a very unique monolithic (underground) church from the 11th century, and a monolithic cellar in the village, before enjoying your first wine tasting – a Grand Cru, before dinner at your hotel.
Wonderful accommodations, wonderful meals, and the horses themselves beyond compare in terms of reliability and ease of riding. They are well looked after as is the equipment. I was part of a ride with siblings who hadn't ridden in some time as well as my father in his seventies and I knew the entire time that we were in excellent hands.
