The Medoc Wine Road private day tour

8 Hours

Come and discover, during a unique experience, the classification of 1855 and the prestigious Médoc wine estates. You will take the mythical route of the Medoc Chateaux, which winds between the most famous of them.

Throughout the day, many photo stops are planned in front of the most emblematic wineries. The guide of each property will give you the secrets of its domain. A tasting of 2 or 3 of the estate’s wines will conclude each visit.
