About this tour
Spend four hours exploring the Médoc wine region with a certified WSET guide, visiting two châteaux across appellations like Margaux and Haut-Médoc. You'll walk through vineyard landscapes, learn how winemaking traditions shape these prestigious wines, and taste from the cellars themselves. Small groups keep the pace unhurried, letting you ask questions and linger over glasses with fellow enthusiasts while air-conditioned transport handles the driving between properties.

What to expect
You'll be picked up and driven to the first property, where your guide walks you through the vineyard and chai (winery building), explaining soil, grape varieties and vintage decisions. Back in the tasting room, you'll nose and palate three or four wines, learning what to look for. After water and a breather, you'll head to the second château for a similar but distinct experience—different winemaking philosophy, different terroir. Expect to be on your feet for 45 minutes at each stop; the guide paces it so you're not rushed.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for gravel vineyard paths. Bring sunscreen and a hat—summer heat reflects off the vines. You must be 18+ to taste; under-18s can attend but won't sample wine. Gratuities aren't included. Public transport options exist nearby if you need alternatives.
