Embark on an exceptional full-day wine adventure from Le Verdon Cruise Port, designed for cruise passengers transitioning to Bordeaux City. This private tour takes you deep into the Médoc wine region, renowned for its prestigious vineyards and world-class wines, and ends with a convenient drop-off at your accommodation in Bordeaux.
Your journey begins with pick-up directly at Le Verdon Cruise Port by your English-speaking Ophorus guide (other languages available on request). After a first winery visit and tasting, continue with a scenic drive along the legendary Route des Châteaux. Following your lunch break in or around Pauillac, the tour carries on with a second estate visit to discover more of Médoc’s wines, terroirs, and traditions.
Throughout the day, your guide will share insights into the history of the region, Bordeaux classifications, grape varieties, and winemaking techniques, tailoring explanations to both beginners and experienced wine lovers.
At the end of your Médoc exploration, relax on the drive to Bordeaux. Your guide will drop you off at your hotel or accommodation in Bordeaux city center, ensuring a smooth and comfortable transition from your cruise to your stay in the wine capital of France.
This private Médoc wine tour from Le Verdon to Bordeaux is perfect for cruise guests continuing their journey with an overnight stay in Bordeaux. It is especially suited to wine lovers, couples, friends, families, and small groups who value private transport, pre-arranged château visits, and personal guidance from an expert local driver-guide. Ideal for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts, the tour combines vineyard scenery, tastings at two Médoc estates, a relaxed lunch stop around Pauillac, and convenient drop-off at your Bordeaux accommodation—making it a seamless, rewarding transition from cruise ship to the heart of France’s wine capital.
Please note: This tour is timed to your ship’s schedule. Your guide will meet you just outside the cruise terminal after disembarkation holding a sign with your name. In case of any last‑minute changes by the cruise line, please check your ship’s daily program and contact us as soon as possible so we can adjust timings accordingly.
Refund Policy: You must notify us at least 48 hours in advance if your ship cannot dock (due to weather or port changes) to qualify for a refund.
