October Hike by Freetime
OCTOBER 2026 EXPEDITION: THE GRAPE HARVEST FESTIVAL
Did you know? Freetime's headquarters are your neighbor! We are based in La Réole. Saint-Émilion is our favorite playground to test our bags under the autumn light!
1. The Itinerary: Gold and Rubies in the Vineyards
October transforms the Libournais region into a masterpiece. The vine leaves turn red and gold. This walking tour takes you through the most prestigious estates when peace returns after the frenzy of the harvest, offering perfect serenity for walking.
2. The Event: The Grape Harvest Festival
Don't miss the big event! In October, Saint-Émilion officially celebrates the end of the harvest. It's an opportunity to see the Jurade in red robes, enjoy medieval entertainment, and experience a local fervor unique in the world.
OCTOBER ESSENTIAL

€99.00
Ideal for storing a fleece when the autumn chill settles on the hills. The suspended mesh back prevents humidity during exertion.
SEE THE BAG3. The Unusual Place: The Monolithic Church
The lower October sun beautifully illuminates the limestone. Take the opportunity to visit this unique church, entirely carved into the rock. A striking contrast between the autumnal light outside and the mystical shadow of the underground.
