What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation in the morning and driven through rolling vineyard landscapes to your first estate. At each stop, expect a tour of the cellars or vineyards followed by a seated tasting of 2–3 wines. The pace is unhurried; guides explain terroir, production methods and the stories behind each property. Between tastings you'll travel through picturesque villages and past grand châteaux. The day builds a rounded picture of how geography and tradition shape Médoc's character. Lunch is unscheduled, giving you flexibility to eat where you choose.
