Throughout the day, the driver remains at your exclusive disposal: he drives, stays sober, and takes you from one stop to the next— Langoiran (6 min), La Sauve-Majeure (18 min), Saint-Macaire (25 min) or the wineries dotted along the hillsides. You set the pace and choose the tastings; he handles the driving and parking at each property. Allow at least 242 € for the half-day (travel time + 3 hours on site) and starting at 415 € for a full day with Langoiran, in the Eco classup: Sedan, Eco Van, and Mercedes Van at their respective lineup rates, available upon request.
