Why should you get my Saint Emilion audio tour?

Bonjour! I’m Ira, the founder of Lost in Bordeaux. Since moving here in 2018, I’ve spent countless days wandering Saint-Émilion, exploring its churches, caves, and of course, its wines. This tour is my way of sharing the stories and hidden corners I love most.

Saint-Émilion is not just about wine — it’s also a place of pilgrimage, history, and breathtaking architecture. On this tour, I’ll guide you through its ancient streets, underground wonders, and panoramic views. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of monks, kings, and winemakers, and I’ll share my personal recommendations for wine shops, restaurants, and local delicacies.
