Heritage Tour of Chateau Villemaurine
Step into the origins of Saint-Émilion through a captivating journey where history, stone and heritage come together.
This guided public group tour invites you to discover the early history of Saint-Émilion and the remarkable legacy of the limestone quarries that shaped both the village and its identity. At Château Villemaurine, the story unfolds beneath your feet.
You will explore a large section of the estate’s underground quarries — an impressive historic labyrinth carved over centuries by quarrymen whose work provided the stone used to build Saint-Émilion.
