"To get out of town, the Afternoon Wine Tour in Saint-Émilion is a perfect short escape: you picnic with sweeping views while enjoying wine and a meal, then explore two wineries (one traditional, one modern) to learn their history and production methods — how grapes are grown and harvested and how wines are bottled — with more samples along the way; note that transportation to the start of the tour is not included." - Matthew Kepnes
