When time allows, your guide may also include a photo stop at a landmark estate such as Château Margaux.

Additional information

If you want to share your tour with others, you can put it on Cruise Critic. Most of the time this gives good results. You must do this yourself as we are not accepted on their site as a professional business. We accept split payment transactions by credit card. 

This tour is ideal for red wine lovers and curious enthusiasts who want an in-depth yet relaxed introduction to Bordeaux’s Médoc / Left Bank appellations, especially Cabernet Sauvignon blends. It suits couples, friends, and small groups who value private transport, expert local commentary, and time to savor château visits rather than rushing through a large-group coach itinerary.
