Private Tour: Taste the Best of Bordeaux: Private Saint-Emilion & Medoc Wine Tour
Two legendary wine regions come together on this private full-day journey through Bordeaux’s most celebrated appellations. Departing from Bordeaux, the experience begins in the Médoc, where vineyard-lined roads lead to a carefully selected Grand Cru château. A guided visit and tasting introduce the Left Bank’s Cabernet Sauvignon–driven style, shaped by gravelly soils and long-standing classification traditions. Scenic drives through famous communes highlight the scale and prestige of the region. The itinerary then crosses to the Right Bank for a contrasting experience in Saint-Émilion, where Merlot-based wines dominate. A second Grand Cru winery visit includes a guided tasting focused on terroir and winemaking techniques unique to the area. Time is also reserved to explore the UNESCO-listed village of Saint-Émilion, with its medieval streets and vineyard viewpoints. Led by an expert local guide and paced for enjoyment, the tour offers a comprehensive introduction to Bordeaux’s most iconic wine styles.
