Program & Itinerary
Meet Your English-Speaking Médoc Wine Expert
As you step off your cruise ship in Bordeaux or Bassens, your English‑speaking local guide, specialized in Bordeaux wines, greets you at the pier and outlines the day’s program. Settle into your comfortable, air‑conditioned vehicle and head through vine‑covered countryside towards the prestigious Grand Cru châteaux of the Médoc.
Travel the Legendary Route des Châteaux
Leaving the port, you soon join the famous castle road, lined with many of the Médoc’s Grands Crus Classés. At each estate, you learn about the history of the property before touring the vineyards and state‑of‑the‑art cellars.
Visit and Taste at Two Médoc Wine Estates
During guided visits at two carefully selected châteaux (often in the Margaux or Haut‑Médoc appellations), your host explains each step of the winemaking process, from vine to barrel to bottle. You then enjoy commented tastings of elegant, Cabernet Sauvignon–driven reds that showcase the structure, perfume, and finesse of Left Bank Bordeaux. When time allows, your guide may also include a photo stop in front of the iconic Château Margaux.
Guided by Certified Wine and Local Experts
With Ophorus, your Médoc experience is led by fully accredited driver‑guides, each holding at least WSET Level 2 or equivalent wine certification. You learn how to assess a wine using sight, nose, and palate, while also gaining insider knowledge about the Médoc’s villages, landscapes, and château culture. Combining wine expertise with local insight, your guide ensures a rich, engaging introduction to one of Bordeaux’s most renowned vineyard areas.
