Popular wine regions on this tour

Most private wine tours from Bordeaux combine two or three appellations in a single day. Saint-Émilion's medieval village and Right Bank Merlots pair beautifully with a Médoc afternoon visiting the grand crus of Pauillac or the elegant estates of Margaux. Your chauffeur will suggest a logical route — and adapt it entirely to your wishlist.

Planning ahead? Our travel guides cover each region in depth: Bordeaux to Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux to the Médoc if you'd like to read up before you book.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can join a private wine tour?

The Mercedes V-Class comfortably seats up to seven passengers, making it ideal for couples, families, or small groups of friends travelling together. Every seat in the vehicle is yours for the day — no strangers, no shared itinerary.

Do I need to book the château visits myself?

Many châteaux in Saint-Émilion, Pauillac, and Margaux require advance reservations for tastings. We strongly recommend booking these directly before your tour date. On request, we can advise on which estates to contact — just mention it when you submit your quote.

Can I customise the itinerary?

Absolutely. This is a private tour, not a group excursion. You decide which appellations to visit, how long to linger at each château, and whether you'd like a lunch stop along the way. Your chauffeur will follow your lead.

Is the price really fixed?

Yes. The quote you receive before confirming is the price you pay. There are no fuel surcharges, no overtime fees for a long tasting, and no meter running while you enjoy your glass of Pauillac.

What happens if my plans change on the day?

Flexibility is part of the service. If you fall in love with a particular estate and want to stay longer, simply let your chauffeur know. We'll adjust the route accordingly — within the agreed duration of your tour.

Do you offer half-day wine tours?

Yes. Half-day tours work well for a focused visit to one appellation — Saint-Émilion is particularly popular for a morning or afternoon excursion. Full-day tours allow you to cross into two or three regions at a relaxed pace. Mention your preference when you request your quote.
