    Begin your day with a pick-up from your hotel in Bordeaux, where you'll meet your knowledgeable English-speaking driver/guide, an expert in Bordeaux wines. Depart from Bordeaux to the Medoc wine region on the left bank of the Gironde River, including the renowned communes of St Estèphe, Pauillac, Margaux, and St Julien. The Medoc spans 60 km north to south and 10 km wide, with 10,600 hectares of vineyards producing 50 million liters of red wine annually. The primary grape is Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Visit a distinguished wine estate, such as a Grand Cru Classé, Château, or cru bourgeois. An expert guide will explain the estate's history and winemaking process. Tour the cellars and enjoy a tasting session of the Château wines, with commentary that enriches your appreciation of the region's flavors and aromas.

    Saint-Emilion

    After your Medoc adventure, cross the Gironde Estuary to explore the right bank wines of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Discover the captivating Saint Emilion wine region, where Merlot is the predominant grape, complemented by Cabernet Franc. The area's unique climate and cool soils make it difficult for Cabernet Sauvignon to fully ripen, resulting in wines with excellent aging potential. Visit a selected winery in the Saint-Emilion appellation, where you'll enjoy a wine tasting session and explore the intricacies of these remarkable wines. After the winery visit, head to the medieval village of Saint-Emilion for a brief walking tour with your guide. You will also have some free time for lunch and to explore the village at your leisure. Please note that the order of visits may vary. After the second visit, it will be time to return to Bordeaux.
