Tour Options
During the booking process, you'll be able to choose between two different options, the morning tour or the afternoon tour. Both have a total duration of 4.5 hours and include an English-speaking guide and an exclusive wine tasting.
Below you can check out the differences in the itineraries:
Morning Tour
We'll meet at the designated time in front of the Monument aux Girondins in the Place des Quinconces and venture out on the Médoc wine route.
During the drive, the guide will provide you with lots of information about the wines of the region before arriving at a beautiful Château. In this place full of history, you'll walk through the vineyards, visit the cellars, and discover the wine-making process. Of course, the visit will end with a tasting of 4 of the estate's wines.
Afterwards, you'll go to a family estate in the Médoc region to learn more about the main grape varieties of Bordeaux while tasting delicious wines from the estate. The tasting will be accompanied by fresh bread, cheese, and other typical products of the region.
We'll continue traveling around the region of Medoc, admiring the area's vineyards. Along the route, we'll learn about the main classifications of grapes that are grown around Bordeaux.
The tour will end with returning to Bordeaux after a total of 4.5 hours.
Afternoon Tour
We’ll meet at the designated time by the Monument aux Girondins, and from there, in the heart of Place des Quinconces, we’ll depart Bordeaux and head to the renowned vineyards of the Médoc region.
During the 40-minute drive, our guide will share insights into why Médoc is one of France's main wine regions. As we take in the scenic views of the traditional vineyards, it will be easy to understand its world-class reputation.
Once we arrive, we’ll dive into a wine-tasting workshop, where we’ll learn how to identify different aromas and flavors, becoming amateur winemakers for the day. It’s sure to be an unforgettable experience!
After the workshop, we’ll continue our tour through the Médoc region with a visit to a château cellar, known for producing the prestigious Grand Cru Classé wines. We’ll tour the vineyards and winery, learning about the various stages of the winemaking process. Our visit might take us to Château Marquis de Terme, Château Desmirail, Château Dauzac, or a similar estate.
To wrap up the tour, we’ll enjoy a tasting of three or four wines, perfectly paired with fresh bread, cheese, and other regional delicacies. Afterward, we’ll make our way back to Bordeaux, arriving at our original meeting point about four and a half hours later.
