There are hundreds of wineries in the Médoc area of Bordeaux. However, as you may have heard, not all of them are open to the public.
Some of the Médoc wineries, in particular, the first growth are focused on professional visitors, while other have not yet developed their wine tourism operations.
Many châteaux would accept visitors, but not on a commercial basis. These châteaux may not even advertise the visits. This is why, if you are determined to visit a particular winery, please do not hesitate to call or email them and ask for an appointment.
To help you plan your Medoc wine tour, here is my list of the Medoc wineries open to the public. This list is not exhaustive, but will give you some idea if you planning a self-guided tour.
