Dreaming of discovering Saint-Émilion differently? On Saturday September 6, 2025, prep your bike (or rent one on site) and join the great Vélotour adventure for a warm, unusual day, at the heart of vineyards and châteaux. It's our escape wish of the moment, weekend mode, a few pedal strokes from Bordeaux.
A unique concept: pedal, smile and taste 🍇🚲
The Vélotour principle is simple: a big bike ride, open to all, where the only rule is smiling. No timer, no competition, just the wish to share a fun, original moment.
On the program:
- Routes of 19 to 23 km, open to everyone.
- Passages through the heart of several châteaux.
- Local product tastings and great Saint-Émilion wines.
- Activities and lovely encounters in a festive vibe.
Whether family, friends or coworkers, Vélotour promises a day out of time, paced by warmth.
Start and finish: Château Siaurac, in Néac
It's Château Siaurac, in Néac (33500), that will host the start-finish village.
Departures are between 9 am and 12 pm: pick your slot and go at your own pace.
Even before starting, a nice touch: coffee and pastries offered at the start to launch the day well.

And if you don't have a bike?

Vélotour is the perfect event if you want to live a warm, original moment:

Every year, Vélotour Saint-Émilion offers to cross several wine estates and open their doors to participants. For the 2025 edition, partner châteaux will be announced soon, but one thing's sure: it'll be the unique chance to discover places usually closed to the public.
Picture it: pedaling between vines, setting your bike in the middle of a château courtyard, tasting a great classified cru… A truly unusual, typically Bordeaux experience.
Hurry, it'll be sold out soon!!!!
