Medoc or Saint-Emilion Small-Group Wine Tour From Bordeaux

Meet your guide and small group in central Bordeaux, hop aboard an air-conditioned vehicle, and set off to explore either the Saint-Émilion or Médoc wine regions, depending on what you selected when booking. If you chose the Médoc tour, enjoy the scenic drive along the storied Castle Road, passing well-known châteaux including Mouton-Rothschild, Latour, or Margaux. Along the way, learn more about the history of the Bordeaux wine region from your guide. Arrive at your first classified growth château for a vineyard visit and wine tasting. Tour the wine cellars, hear about the wine-making process, and sample several wines. After a quick photo stop at the iconic Château Margaux, head to another winery. Try local wines paired with an aperitif platter featuring cured meats, cheese, dark chocolate, and baguettes. If you selected the Saint-Émilion wine tour, drive through the scenic French countryside on the way to a classified growth château. Try the château's wine as you nibble on an assortment of local cheeses, fresh bread, and cured meats, and learn about the wine-making process from your guide. From there, head for a tour of the village of Saint-Émilion itself, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the end of either tour, return to your original Bordeaux departure point.
