What to expect
Your private guide collects you for a 10-hour wine-focused journey through Médoc's rolling vineyards. Rather than standard group tastings, you'll enter working châteaux and taste directly in their cellars or tasting rooms. Expect to visit 3–4 properties depending on your preferences and the guide's access that day. Each stop includes commentary on the estate's history, terroir, and production methods. The pace is leisurely—this is about savouring, not rushing. Your guide photographs key moments throughout, from vineyard views to your tastings.
Good to know
Lunch is not included; plan to eat in a local village or bring provisions. Wear comfortable walking shoes for cellar tours. The route adapts to your wine knowledge and preferences—tell your guide what you want to discover. Child seats available for infants.
