A Full Day of Wine, History & Bordeaux Charm
Embark on a journey through two of Bordeaux’s most iconic wine regions in one unforgettable day.

Start your morning in the prestigious Médoc, where you’ll visit two renowned wineries. Sip exceptional wines, stroll through lush vineyards, and uncover the secrets of winemaking from those who live and breathe it.

In the afternoon, the adventure continues in the stunning village of Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Begin with a private tour and tasting at a Grand Cru château, then dive into centuries of history during a guided walk through the village’s medieval streets and underground monuments. We’ll finish on a delicious note at a family-run winery, pairing fine wines with local specialties – the perfect expression of French art de vivre.

Join us for a day of world-class wines, captivating stories, and authentic encounters in the heart of Bordeaux’s wine country.

Please note: For environmental reasons, we no longer provide bottled water. Guests are encouraged to bring their own reusable bottle – refills will be available at the wineries.
