    Both Banks of Bordeaux in One Day: Left Bank Médoc & Right Bank Saint-Émilion

    This private full-day wine tour is designed for those who want to experience the best of Bordeaux's two most celebrated wine regions in a single day. Starting on the Left Bank with the structured, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon blends of the Médoc, before crossing to the Right Bank for the silky, Merlot-dominant wines of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol — this tour offers an unmatched introduction to the full breadth of Bordeaux wine.

    Meet Your Expert Guide & Depart from Bordeaux

    Your day begins with pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Bordeaux, where you'll meet your WSET-certified English-speaking driver/guide, an expert in Bordeaux wines. Board a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan (up to 8 guests) with an onboard PA system for clear commentary throughout the day.

    Morning: The Médoc — Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon Country

    Depart into the Médoc wine region, located on the left bank of the Gironde Estuary. This prestigious appellation stretches approximately 60 km from north to south and encompasses the celebrated communes of Saint-Estèphe, Pauillac, Saint-Julien, and Margaux — home to some of the world's most iconic classified châteaux. With around 10,600 hectares of vineyards producing some 50 million litres of red wine annually, the Médoc's dominant grape is Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.

    Visit a carefully selected Grand Cru Classé, Château, or Cru Bourgeois estate. Your guide leads a tour of the technical installations and cellars, explaining the transformation from grape to wine, before a commented tasting session that highlights the structure, terroir, and ageing potential distinctive to the Left Bank.

    Afternoon: Saint-Émilion — Right Bank Merlot & the UNESCO Village

    Cross the Gironde and enter the world of Right Bank wines. The Saint-Émilion and Pomerol appellations are dominated by Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc. The region's unique combination of clay and limestone soils produces wines of remarkable elegance and ageing potential — a striking contrast to the gravel-driven power of the Médoc.

    Visit a carefully selected winery in the Saint-Émilion appellation for a guided cellar tour and commented tasting. Afterwards, explore the UNESCO World Heritage village of Saint-Émilion on a short guided walk through its medieval cobbled streets, with free time to discover the village independently before the return to Bordeaux.

      Karim was an amazing tour guide. He was energetic and engaging throughout. Very knowledgeable not only about wines but also history in general. He went out of his way to make the day special for us.

      On the way back instead of letting us sleep he got us playing a game, testing our ability to identify characteristics of the wine. We were very lucky to have Karim, he has a great job and one he does very well. Thanks for a great day.

      Bonjour Camille,

      Thank you so much for your e-mail. Yes, indeed we had fantastic time with Ugo. He took care of us (especially my mother who can't walk for long) like anything. The tours of the chateaus were also great, especially the one at St. Emilion.

      I shall recommend you to my friends and contacts. Do keep up the good work you are doing.

      Fantastic tour of St Emilion with Luigi. We took the Medoc tour in the morning and this one in the afternoon. It was a lot - especially with a 6 hour time difference from the States, but the tour was great. We visited one winery and walked through the town. Such an amazing city. Luigi knew everything and was an excellent guide. Highly recommend.
