About this tour
Travel through Médoc's finest vineyards in a classic Citroën 2CV convertible alongside Cécilia, a wine specialist who knows these slopes intimately. Over six hours, you'll visit two prestigious châteaux nestled in picture-postcard villages, learning how grapes become wine from vineyard through cellar. The route traces the appellations of Margaux, Saint-Julien, Pauillac and Saint-Estèphe, with tastings at each stop and an optional local picnic to anchor the experience.

What to expect
Expect a leisurely morning or afternoon unfolding at vineyard pace. You'll start in the vintage car and move through the Médoc's most celebrated villages, stopping at two working châteaux. At each, you'll descend into cellars, see fermentation tanks and barrel aging firsthand, then taste directly from the producer. Cécilia explains terroir, vintage variation and production choices without overwhelming jargon. The route feels curated rather than rushed; you're not hopping between ten properties, but rather understanding two deeply. If you opt for the picnic, it slots between visits—local cheeses, charcuterie and bread with a glass in hand overlooking the vines.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for cellar floors; the convertible offers little shade so bring sunscreen and sunglasses. No strenuous walking required. Service animals are welcome. Public transport exists nearby if you prefer alternative transport. Budget three to four hours for driving and visits; the remaining time covers the picnic and transitions.
