As part of the Trophées Bordeaux Vignoble Engagé (Bordeaux Vineyard Commitment Awards), Terre de Vins joins the Interprofessional Bordeaux Wine Council and the Saint-Emilion Wine Council to propose two hiking trails.
The idea is to help you discover the environmental engagement of the Saint-Emilion vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Located less than an hour from Bordeaux, Saint-Emilion welcomes you with your family and friends to discover its vineyard, first one to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its cultural landscapes.
