Experience a full day tour of the Bordeaux wine region where you don't have worry about any of the logistics. Meet your expert local guide and dedicated driver in center of Bordeaux to board a private bus and start your journey to the French countryside.
The day begins in the picturesque Entre-Deux-Mers region. You'll visit a gorgeous 16th century château with a renowned family-run organic vineyard. With a small group of travelers, you'll tour the estate, the winemaking facilities, and a taste three different wines: a rosé, red, and white. Next, you'll grab a picnic basket full of local products for an outdoor lunch with more wine of course.
After a short transfer, you’ll follow your local, English-speaking guide through the medieval cobbled streets of Saint-Emilion—a town built on wine and a UNESCO heritage site since 1999.
Here, you'll step into the home of a Grand Cru winemaker—a castle that's been in the same family for seven generations. Visit their ancient cellars where they age and store their wine, including their own collection that dates back centuries! Their wines are hard to find, but you’ll have time to taste them in their tasting space.
Jump back in the van for the last stop of the day: a brother and sister team in the process of converting to organic growing. Ask any question and understand the difference between organic, biodynamic, and conventional winemaking while tasting three of their delicious wines.
Your last transfer is back to the city in time for dinner. Don't forget to ask your guide for restaurant recommendations!
