Procedure

What is a typical day like at Saint-Macaire with a chauffeur?

Your arrival at Saint-Macaire with a chauffeur takes place in four stages: pickup at your address in Bordeaux, a 50-minute drive on the A62 along the Garonne Valley, drop-off at the village entrance across from Langon, followed by an à la carte afternoon of wine tourism in the Entre-deux-Mers region. Throughout the day, the driver remains at your exclusive disposal: you taste the wines, he drives and takes you from one stop to the next — Langon (5 min), Sauternes (15 min), Langoiran (28 min), La Sauve-Majeure (30 min) or Saint-Émilion (40 min). You set the pace, choose the wineries, and decide where to stop; the driver knows the area, handles the driving and parking—and stays sober. The half-day (travel time + 3 hours on site) starts at 268 €; a full day starts at 481 € with La Sauve-Majeure, in Eco class; Premium Sedan, Eco Van and Mercedes Van are priced according to their respective vehicle classes.
