Program & Itinerary
Private Full-Day Médoc Wine Tour from Bordeaux – 3 Château Visits
Explore the world-renowned Médoc wine region on a private, 8-hour tour from Bordeaux. Visit 3 pre-booked classified châteaux — Grand Cru Classé or Cru Bourgeois estates — indulge in expert-led tastings, and discover the secrets behind the iconic Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant Left Bank blends that define this legendary appellation.
Expert Certified Guide & Comfortable Travel
Your journey begins with pickup directly from your Bordeaux accommodation. Your guide — a WSET certified wine expert and passionate local — introduces the day's itinerary and provides informed commentary throughout. Travel comfortably in a spacious, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan with an onboard PA system for perfect audio clarity.
Three Château Visits & Commented Wine Tastings
Visit three meticulously selected estates, including Grand Cru Classé or Cru Bourgeois properties. Explore the history, vineyards, and winemaking facilities of each château, then savour expertly guided tastings — learning to identify aromas, flavour profiles, and the influence of Médoc terroir on each wine. All tasting fees are included.
The Médoc Appellations — Château Road
Journey along the iconic Route des Châteaux, lined with some of the world's most celebrated wine estates. Your tour covers the key Médoc appellations:
- Margaux — celebrated for elegant, fragrant, and silky Cabernet Sauvignon blends
- Pauillac — famed for powerful, structured, and age-worthy wines
- Saint-Julien — renowned for balance, precision, and refined tannins
- Haut-Médoc — a diverse appellation offering a wide spectrum of styles and producers
Customisable to Your Preferences
This private tour can be tailored to your interests. If you have specific châteaux or appellations in mind, share your wishlist during booking and the Ophorus team will do their best to accommodate your preferences.
