Departure from and arrival at a château just outside Saint-Émilion
Immerse yourself in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards with Mob & Wine, a unique wine tourism experience that combines a ride on a vintage moped, scenic roads, and an exploration of the exceptional terroirs of Saint-Emilion.
The concept
Climb aboard a vintage moped (a Motobécane or Peugeot from the 1970s or 1980s) for a 35-kilometer (22-mile) road trip through the villages, vineyards, and châteaux of the Saint-Émilion appellation, with a few forays into the neighbouring appellations of Pomerol and Montagne Saint-Émilion. The route follows a country loop and is suitable for all adults (18 years and older), even those with no previous experience of riding a two-wheeled vehicle.
