Bordeaux's Medoc Wines Tour
|
This Bordeaux Medoc wine tour is designed to reveal the character of some of the world's greatest wines, produced in 7 districts on the left bank of the Gironde: northern Medoc, St. Estephe, Pauillac, St. Julien, central Medoc, Margaux and southern Medoc. It requires four days to perform fully, since we suggest one tasting in each appellation, at the relaxed rhythm of two tastings per day.

 A Bordeaux wine tour that lavishes so much time on so few vineyards may seem an extravagant use of your time. However, appreciating Bordeaux wines is itself a luxuriant act, and we believe you will profit from taking enough time to savor each step of the way. If you have more time to devote to your Bordeaux wine tour, we can make an even more complete itinerary.
Our approach to Bordeaux wine touring gives you the leisure to savor each visit fully, and provides time both for seeing spots of general interest, and for appreciating fine wines in their best context: relaxed meals where the wines are complemented by superb regional cuisine that highlights and elicits the subtleties and complexities of the wine itself. As we suggest only one vineyard visit per appellation during this Bordeaux wine tour, we can either include your personal favorite for each, or we will suggest our favorites among first, second or third growths. Don't be surprised if all our suggestions are not first growths, since there are many vineyards without exalted status that produce wines equal in quality, at a fraction of the cost.
Our Bordeaux wine tour can begin in Paris with a 3-hour high speed (TGV) train ride to Bordeaux, or we can meet you in Bordeaux either at your Bordeaux address, or at the train station or airport. Your guide, who speaks native English and has expert knowledge of Bordeaux wines, will embark you in an upscale air-conditioned vehicle that is chosen for comfort and excellent viewing characteristics. In addition to scheduling your visits at the finest vineyards for your entire Bordeaux wine tour, Paris Luxury Tours also will suggest and make bookings for you at delightful hotels in the region and recommend the most worthy restaurants.
With its over 5000 fully refurbished and modernized 18th century buildings, the city of Bordeaux itself is a worthy inclusion in this tour of Bordeaux wines. It is a magnificent city that grew on the back of the wine trade, and so spending some to see it is a delightful complement to a Bordeaux wine tour.
