Medoc afternoon Wine Tour from Bordeaux

Discover the delicate wines of the Médoc region on this 5-hour small-group wine tour from Bordeaux. Take the Route des Châteaux through the Médoc’s fertile vineyards and listen as a guide sheds light on the grape varietals in production. Sample the cabernet sauvignon blends for which Bordeaux is famous and — depending on the day — participate in a wine-blending workshop (only on Wednesdays available for April to October) or a wine and cheese tasting. Enjoy personalized attention from your guide on this small-group tour, limited to eight people.

Take a seat in your air-conditioned minivan at 1:50pm, then head out of the city into the Médoc vineyards to begin your 5-hour tour. Spin along the Route des Châteaux, and listen as your guide shares information about the region’s winemaking history.

First, stop at a Grand Cru winery in the Margaux and St. Julien region, and taste some of the cabernet sauvignon blends for which Bordeaux is famous. As you taste the wines, learn what makes Bordeaux wine so special.

Next, continue on to a family-owned winery hidden among the vineyards. Depending on the day of your visit, take part in a blending workshop (on Wednesdays and depending on availability) where you’ll have the chance to create your very own unique wine, or indulge in a wine and cheese pairing (on Sundays) featuring Haut-Medoc appellation wines.

When your final tasting comes to an end, return in comfort to your starting point in central Bordeaux to conclude your tour.
