A must-visit destination for wine lovers

Since 2011, Château Soutard has welcomed visitors to discover the French art of living in the heart of a Bordeaux wine estate. In 2013, the château received a national wine tourism award, recognised as a jury favourite.

Visitors can choose from several experiences suited to different levels of wine knowledge. The group tour introduces the winemaking process from vineyard to bottle, followed by a tasting of three wines.

For a more exclusive experience, the private tour offers a guided discovery of the estate, exploring the link between nature, terroir and winemaking expertise. It ends with a tasting of three Grand Cru Classé wines from the estates — Château Soutard, Château Larmande and Château Petit Faurie de Soutard — paired with mature cheeses.

At Château Soutard, history, modernity and passion come together to create a memorable wine experience.

    Very well organized, the gîte hosts were very kind, the accommodation very good. The meal was very nice from every point of view. The visit to Château Soutard the next day was very good.

  • An unexpected interlude in the Bordeaux region

    2nd VINOTRIP stay after enjoying the 1st stay in Burgundy. A very pleasant weekend in Saint-Emilion, despite a storm at the end of the 1st day which made us fear for the night in the cabin, but everything went relatively smoothly. In the early afternoon, we paid a visit to the saffron factory (which also produces pepper and goji berries), where we made a wonderful discovery of this little corner of the countryside and its hostess. Lodging in a hut where it is necessary to give advance warning to people prone to vertigo or with mobility problems, as access to the hut is not easy. Dry toilets in the accommodation, but showers are a 10/15 minute walk away in our case, which can be a problem for some people. The dinner in the basket was a great success, even if the weather wasn't right for us to take full advantage of the terrace. A small storm lamp is given to you on arrival (it would be advisable to provide accommodation with a ceiling attachment point to illuminate the area). The staff at Château de la Romaningue are pleasant and helpful. Visits to Châteaux Soutard and Champion went well and were interesting. We preferred Château Champion for its authentic family atmosphere. The basket lunch in the courtyard of Château Soutard was great, with sunshine and friendly staff. Bike hire was a problem, as we were too busy to collect the bikes from the hire company. A pleasant stay thanks to VINOTRIP's good organization. When can we expect the 3rd trip... ?

  • Pleasant stay

    The welcome at Château Tifayne was warm, the room pleasant and the breakfast copious. We really enjoyed talking to the owner during the excellent tasting and the stay. The visit to Château Soutard was very interesting, with a guide who shared her knowledge with us.

  • Nice trip to St Emillion

    We really enjoyed our tasting at Château Soutard, with very professional staff and a beautiful setting. We then spent the night at Château Tifayne where we had another delicious tasting, excellent accommodation and a delicious breakfast. The wine was so good that we bought a case, excellent value for money.

  • Thank you!

    Excellent stay in this beautiful region! Visit to the Terra Safran saffron factory, super individualized welcome, visit and tasting. Thank you for your welcome, it was very interesting. Overnight stay in a tree house: excellent welcome aperitif dinner and breakfast delivered quality. Restful and a real change of scenery. However, the stairs and suspension bridge may make it difficult for some people to access the tree house. Bike hire: thank you for your welcome and availability, Marius (please note that the bikes are not electric). Visit to Chateaux Soutard: quality service and very nice picnic basket. Visit to Château de la Tour Saint Christophe: many thanks to Zachary(ie) for his welcome and kindness. We had a great time with you. To sum up, we recommend this package. The services are really of high quality. We would like to thank everyone involved in the organization, visits and welcoming of this stay.

  • Sublime stay

    We had a wonderful, well-organized stay. Everything was well done and we were very well received everywhere. The agreement between the partners seemed to work well, given the warm welcome we received. The saffron farm was a pleasant surprise, as this passionate couple taught us a lot about this little-known spice, apart from its price. Cabin accommodation was sumptuous, and the aperitif, dinner and breakfast baskets were copious and delicious. The next day's bike ride to Saint Emilion was very pleasant, the only downside being that my partner came across a bike at the end of its life, so he didn't enjoy the ride as much. The tourist office had provided us with a cycling tour guide (a very good idea). The welcome at Ambe Tour Pourret and Soutard was warm and well organized. We had a good lunch in the first château and enjoyed a lovely visit to Soutard thanks to our guide Léa, who knew how to captivate us with her explanations. In short: a sublime stay not to be missed! Thank you

  • Thank you for this program

    We had a great stay in Saint Emilion. The cabanes site is great, the reception opens at 4:30 pm, we didn't show up until 6 pm as agreed on the program and by the time everything was explained and other people welcomed, it was 7 pm and we didn't really take advantage of this beautiful site. The hut is superb, as are the welcome, services and catering. On the other hand, a Road Book is missing when we take the bikes, it would be nice to have a circuit including the castles to visit. The cheese & wine tasting was very good, as was the visit to Château Soutard, which was also magnificent.

  • two-day stay

    very pleasant stay, arrival at the organic saffron farm, excellent welcome from a passionate couple, then arrival at our accommodation, high up in the mountains, by a young and dynamic team, only regret not having had time to visit the surrounding area, too short in time, everything was perfect in terms of catering, aperitif, dinner, breakfast, then departure for St-Emillion, collection of our bikes for the day, tour of the surrounding area, visit to château ambe tour pourret, wine and cheese tasting, excellent welcome from 2 young ladies, then appointment at château Soutard, but there was a staffing problem, the visit was delayed, we left disappointed, it's a shame such a large estate doesn't hire enough staff.... that's the only bad note of our stay, which was very pleasant.

  • stay naturally organic Bordeaux

    Day 1: paradise at 8 m, very nice cabin, very good bedding, hearty dinner on a pulley with sunset as a bonus. Excellent breakfast. A little adrenalin on the way back down. A very friendly, welcoming and professional team. Day 2: We headed for Chateau Ambe Tour Pourret, where 2 charming, kind and smiling hostesses awaited us for lunch, with tastings of 3 wines. All very delicious. Excellent exchange. Bikes collected, we set off through the vineyards to Chateau Soutard for a guided tour and wine tasting. Discovery of some very good wines. Finally, a visit to the Safranière Artisanale in Ambarés la Grave. Two people passionate about the history of saffron are waiting to share their knowledge with you. A tasting of refined products delighted our taste buds, with these two friendly people. An unforgettable weekend, to be recommended.

  • Great stay

    We were made to feel very welcome at all the estates we visited, and had some very good, informative encounters and tastings. We particularly recommend the option at Château Soutard on the 2nd day with the blending of wines, an opportunity for us to create our own cuvée according to our tastes.....an exceptional stay...

  • eonological stay in bordeaux

    Excellent, well-organized stay Gastrnomic and very copious meal at the auberge saint jean where we let ourselves be conquered by the chef's surprises and the owner's oenological advice. Excellent stay at chateau de Mole, in a small suite and copious, varied breakfasts followed by a tour of the estate and cellars. VIP welcome and very fun and instructive blending workshop at chateau Soutard

    daniel B.

  • Very pleasant stay

    A warm welcome at Château de Mole, with friendly, attentive staff, a good presentation of the vineyard and some fine wines to taste. Interesting, high-quality discoveries at Château Soutard. Good food and drink at all 3 sites, especially the Auberge Saint Jean. Congratulations to the Vinotrip team, and we'll be sure to recommend your stay.

  • Naturellment Bio stay in St Emilion: Formidable!

    Day 1: - Visit to the organic farm Oh! Légumes Oubliés: the tasting of products was excellent and original. - Overnight at the Cabane de La Romaningue in the "Sauternes" cabin, perched 8 meters up on a two-hundred-year-old oak: magnificent, peaceful and relaxing. - Dinner in the cabin: the hot basket to be assembled using a pulley is very original and the meal delicious. Day 2: - Breakfast, still to be assembled using a pulley: copious and famous. - Visit to Saint-Emilion. - Lunch at Château Ambe Tour Pourret: cheese platter accompanied by 3 glasses of wine to taste the Château's products, delicious. - Blending workshop at Château Soutard with visit and tasting: great welcome and the workshop is a very good idea. - Visit to Château Fonplégade with tasting of 2 Pomerols and 2 St Emilions: top wines. The itinerary was different from the one advertised on your site, but all in all it was a win-win situation, and the 3 châteaux we visited in St Emilion were excellent choices (taste, welcome, importance of the properties). And the night we spent 8m up in the air will stay with us for a long time. Bravo VinoTrip!!!

  • Elegant wines from an exceptional terroir

    Located on Saint-Émilion’s famous limestone plateau, Château Soutard benefits from an outstanding terroir. The vineyard covers 30 hectares in a single block and is planted with 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, with vines averaging 35 years old. The estate’s wines are known for their precision, freshness and excellent ageing potential.
    Château Soutard Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion is a deep red wine with peppery aromas and notes of red and black fruit. On the palate, it is elegant and balanced, with silky tannins and a fresh, mineral finish. Le Petit Soutard, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, is the estate’s second wine. It is charming and approachable, with red fruit aromas, a rounded palate and a smooth, velvety structure.

  • A Château rich in history

    Château Soutard, a Grand Cru Classé estate, covers 30 hectares near the famous medieval village of Saint-Émilion. Wine has been produced here since the 17th century, on the historic site known as “Soutard”, which gave the estate its name.
    The château’s elegant façade dates from the 18th century, while its stone wings, typical of traditional Bordeaux farm buildings, date back to the 16th century.
    Today, Château Soutard is managed by Bertrand de Villaines, with winemaking overseen by Véronique Corporandy, the estate’s technical director. Combining heritage and modern expertise, Château Soutard is both a witness to Bordeaux’s wine history and a leading name in contemporary Saint-Émilion.
