Chateaux & Terroirs, on the Bordeaux wine roads

From 50€ / pers

Do you have only a few hours to discover the Bordeaux wine country? Then this "flying visit" is just for you! Are you interested in seeing mythical châteaux in the Médoc? Famous estates in Saint-Emilion? The "golden" wines of Sauternais? Yes, but there is so much more! Bordeaux also has plenty of lesser-known appellations, small family estates, affordable wines, etc.

  • A good overview for a first visit
  • Tour conducted by official guides with professional card, in French and in English
  • An attractive price for a first discovery of the Bordeaux vineyards
  • Discover the amazing underground church of Saint-Emilion
  • Due to the European Heritage Days on September 22, the destination is the Médoc on that day.

With this tour you will discover the diversity of the Bordeaux wines during an afternoon session every week. The destination is different every day and each one has its own special charms!

Robert Huddlestone 10/04/2024
There was nothing we did not like, except the price of a bottle of wine at Chateau Lianote at 34 euros! Yes we would recommend it to friends.

Not what was advertised
Mal Sullivan 09/22/2024
We thought we were booking a English speaking wine tour of Bordeaux. Instead we got a historical tour of the town and 1 winery. Bridget was great except she spoke in English the French which took twice as long so we had no time to explore the town. We found out later that out of the whole tour group there wad only 4 French speaking people. I would not recommend this if you want to do a winery tour of Bordeaux. Many people in the group I spoke to weren't happy.

Interesting trip

We did two of the trips - Médoc and St Emilion. Both were very interesting and informative. Our only comment is if there were chateaux closer to Bordeaux for the Médoc trip to reduce the travel time as it was a long time in the coach
