Follow the Castle Road, lined by prestigious wineries

As you reach the Medoc vineyards, we will take you to 2 selected wine estates that are ranked as Grand Cru, classified growth Château or Cru Bourgeois. As your day tour begins, reach the famous castle road along which many of the Grands Crus Classés - Classified Growth Chateau wineries are located.

All our drivers are fully accredited guides, meaning you’ll get double the expertise on this great Medoc tour. You’ll learn how to judge a wine with all the senses, using your eyes, nose, tongue, and memory. These licensed guides are not only wine connoisseurs, they’re also authorities on the local area, ready to share a wealth of information about the stunning Bordeaux region.

Taste delicious wines

Medoc wines produce wonderfully perfumed yet very intense french wines. Margaux wines have a distinctive fragrant taste, attributed to the high gravel content of the soil in these vineyards. The soil’s excellent drainage means the plants need to root down further to find moisture, making them particularly strong, and bringing up the flavors of the deeper earth.

The Haut Medoc appellation is vast, with almost 400 different wine producers operating there, the different wineries produce wine that have a wide variety of textures and flavors. If time permits, your guide will try and organise a stop at Chateau Margaux for photo opportunities. Saint Julien wines are known to be tannic, powerful and are usually coined as being quite masculine types of wines while the wines produced in Pauillac are generally rich, full bodied and stern.

Lunch (at own expense)

During the course of the day, you will stop in a local restaurant where you can taste some of the local delicacies. Lunch will be at own expense but we will be happy to make pre-booking arrangements for you and your group. After the second visit & wine tasting of the day, we will return to Pauillac and drop you off at your ship.
