I have been working as a Bordeaux wine tour guide for some time and have visited hundreds of Bordeaux wineries.
If you are planning to stay at a vineyard near Bordeaux, here is my list of the best accommodations at Bordeaux wineries with a focus on quiet, authentic places with great wine. There are various options between cottages, hotel rooms, independent apartments at a winery, and luxury accommodations.
Keep in mind that some châteaux may have a restaurant on-site, while others don’t. In that case, you will need a car to move around. There is no Uber in the Saint-Émilion wine country, so having a rental car would be optimal.

Located in Saint-Hippolyte about 10 minutes drive from Saint-Émilion, Château de Ferrand is a new gem of Saint-Émilion.
Château de Ferrand’s story began in the early 18th century. Elie de Bétoulaud, the founder of the château, wanted to pay a tribute to King Louis XIV. He built Ferrand to remind the elegance, eccentricity, and joy of Versailles.
In 1977, the château changed its hands for the first time. Baron Bich, who co-founded multi-national ballpoint pen co BIC, purchased the château.
Today, his daughter, Pauline Bich Chandon-Moët, and her husband Philippe Chandon-Moët manage this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé château.
The estate has undergone a beautiful renovation in 2020 and now offers five elegant guest rooms with views of famous Saint-Émilion vineyards.
