A private, full-day immersion into the Médoc's most prestigious appellations — exclusive château visits, classified-growth tastings, and a gourmet picnic amid the vines. The ultimate Bordeaux bucket-list day.
What to expect
Your private driver-guide collects you at the port and whisks you along the legendary D2 'Route des Châteaux,' stopping at Classified Growth estates across Saint-Julien, Pauillac, and Margaux appellations. Cellar tours reveal the craft behind some of the world's most coveted labels, while guided tastings place each wine in its terroir context. A beautifully prepared gourmet picnic — local charcuterie, cheese, bread, and Médoc wines — is laid out in a vineyard setting. The day closes with a final tasting at a boutique estate before returning to port well before all-aboard.
Good to know
Book well in advance as private departures fill quickly in high season. The tour departs from and returns to the Cussac-Fort-Médoc cruise dock. Confirm your all-aboard time with the operator when booking so the itinerary is timed precisely.
