At a glance

Trip Summary

On day two, you will meet your guide at a central departure point, where you will begin your full day journey of discovery in either the internationally famed left-bank Médoc or the UNESCO classified appellation of Saint-Emilion and its satellite appellation, Pomerol. If you choose to visit the Médoc, you will visit three Châteaux, learning particularly about the Cabernet Sauvignon grape and gaining an insight into what makes those big, bold reds so renowned. If you choose to visit Saint-Emilion, you will discover the singularities of the softer wines, predominantly made from the Merlot grape. On this tour you will also visit three Châteaux. During the day, you will learn all about the fascinating wine making process from press to bottle, and each tour will conclude with a tasting of the Château’s wine. This is a small group tour and each Château that you visit will be a Cru Classified estate. You will have free time for lunch on the tour, and your guide will be more than happy to make recommendations depending on how hungry you are feeling on the day.  In the evening a three course gourmet dinner will be served in a premium city centre restaurant. Your dinner will be accompanied by wine, water and tea or coffee.

If you opt for the four day break, then day three will comprise of a tour of whichever appellation you didn’t visit on day two. The four day break ensures that you have the opportunity to discover both Saint-Emilion and the Médoc, obtaining a breadth of knowledge and experience when it comes to Bordeaux wines.
