    Additional information

    • If you want to share your tour with others, you can put it on Cruise Critic. Most of the time this gives good results. You must do this yourself as we are not accepted on their site as a professional business. We accept split payment transactions by credit card.This Médoc escape is crafted for travelers who appreciate quality over quantity: couples, families, and small groups who enjoy fine wine, attentive service, and the quiet luxury of a day fully taken care of. It is a wonderful choice if you prefer small‑group private experiences, if you like to learn the stories behind what is in your glass, and if you want to feel you have truly “seen” Bordeaux wine country in comfort rather than simply ticking off another port. If you are looking for a strenuous hike or a fast‑paced bar crawl, this may not be the right fit—but if you dream of unhurried tastings, beautiful landscapes, and being gently guided from ship to château and back again, this shore excursion was designed with you in mind.
