About the Médoc

The Médoc is one of Bordeaux’s most iconic wine regions, celebrated for its remarkably fine and complex red wines made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Stretching north of the city of Bordeaux along the Gironde estuary, this land of vineyards and châteaux offers some of the most interesting wine experiences.

FAQ

Are winery fees included in the price?

No. Our tours are fully customized for each guest. We can arrange wine tastings according to your interests and budget. Winery tasting fees will be due only after your personalized itinerary has been prepared and confirmed.

Can I choose which châteaux to visit?

We will be delighted to organize and pre-book your preferred winery visits, provided the estates are open to the public and have availability on your travel dates. Please note that while many Bordeaux châteaux welcome visitors, some prestigious estates — such as Château Latour and a few others — remain closed to the public. We cannot guarantee that your specific preferred wineries will be open or available, but we will always secure similar or next best options. Availability inquiries and reservations at the châteaux are made only after your private wine tour has been confirmed with us.

Is lunch included in the price?

No. We will schedule time for you to enjoy lunch during the tour. We’ll be happy to reserve a table at a local restaurant or brasserie or arrange an exclusive winery lunch with pairing.

Can I buy on a tour?

Yes. Most châteaux offer select (usually recent) vintages in their boutiques. You can buy and ship wine to your home. Wine shops in Saint-Émilion, the Médoc and in the city of Bordeaux also have a good selection of Bordeaux wines.

Can I bring children on a tour?

Of course, children are welcome to join private tours when accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult. Most wineries do not charge visit fees for children, but please make sure to mention their ages when booking your tour. You can also request child-friendly experiences — some Bordeaux châteaux offer special activities designed for families. Please note that wine tasting and alcohol consumption are strictly limited to guests of legal drinking age in their country of origin.
