DESCRIPTION :
The Medoc area covers approximately 5,700 hectares of declared vineyards, annually producing on average 300,000 hectoliters of wine. Of the grape varieties permitted, 50% of the viticultural area is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and to a lesser extent Petit Verdot and Malbec. Also allowed within the AOC regulations are the varieties Cabernet Franc and Carménère. The region you will head to spans from the mouth of the river down south and includes the four famous communes of St-Estephe, Pauillac, St. Julien and Margaux.
Today, depart from a centrally located pick up point in Bordeaux and head towards the famous Medoc wine region. During this half day tour you will experience a visit and wine tasting session in Classified growth or Cru Bourgeois estate that has been carefully selected for their exceptional setting and quality of wine. During this visit you will learn all there is to know about the history of the estate, the wine making process as well as the techniques used during the wine making. The visit is followed by a wine tasting session.
Then, follow the castle road to admire some of the most famous chateaus such as Chateau Margaux, Chateau Palmer or Chateau Pichon Longueville.
Finally, experience a unique wine tasting session at "La WINERY" a modern architectural complex dedicated to wine, set in the heart of a 26-hectare park.
