Visit and wine tasting at three châteaux in the famous villages of Margaux, St Julien, Pauillac or St Estephe. This is the land of the grand impressive châteaux and we will visit three and pass infront of the most famous such as Lafite Rotthschild, Margaux and Latour. The terroir changes as we go up this rather flat landscape which forms a peninsular between the large Gironde Estuary and the Atlantic sea to the left. Increasing number of large gravel stones make the wine more fullbodied. We will taste the difference between a Margaux and a Pauillac. With thirty years of experience I will be able to impart my stories and experiences while we travel and visit. If there is one unique region to visit, this is it! I will include a smaller family property to show the difference and get closer to the winemaker.

This was simply the best wine tasting tour/experience!! From Nicolle customizing the tasting for our preferences and food allergies to Emmanuelle’s sharing her knowledge of the region, wines and history - excellent. And the lunch at Haut-Bages was amazing. Best meal of the trip. Would recommend booking and will be back!
Thank you for taking care of my family and giving us one of the best experiences. We are grateful.

We very much enjoyed our private tour to the Medoc region. Our guide, Gosia, was a great teacher, answered all our questions, and was loads of fun. Our first stop was at an amazing 1855 classified, 2nd growth chateau. Here we received a tour of the whole operation from the vines to bottling. We learned about different barrels and how they are marked and used. We tasted three of their delicious wines. After lunch, we visited an 1855 classified, 4th growth chateau for another great tasting and discussion of their wines. We also visited an independently owned winery where we had a very interesting tasting. For the same vintage, we tasted single varietal wines of the three grapes they grow, and then we tasted the blend they produced that same year. It was extremely interesting tasting the blend – we could taste the improvement and also identify some of the flavors in the blend from the individual varieties. This was a great day. We highly recommend Bordeaux Medoc Region Private Wine Lovers Tour with Chateau Visits & Tastings by Bordeaux SIP Wine Tours.
