Bordeaux is one of the world's great wine destinations, and the best way to experience it is privately — at your own pace, with a guide who knows the chateaux, the winemakers, and the stories behind the labels.
Ophorus has been organising private wine tours in Bordeaux since 2005. Our guides are permanent, in-house Bordeaux specialists — not freelancers hired by the day — which means you get real insider access: to classified growths, family-owned estates, and hidden gems that rarely appear on standard tour itineraries.
Whether you're looking for a classic half-day in Saint-Emilion, a full-day combining Medoc and Saint-Emilion, or a multi-day immersion across several appellations, every tour is arranged exclusively for your party. No shared groups, no fixed commentary — your guide adapts the day around your interests and wine knowledge.
Also planning other French wine regions? Ophorus operates with in-house local guides across all of France — making us the natural choice if you want to combine Bordeaux with Loire Valley, Burgundy, Champagne or beyond, all with a single point of contact.

At Ophorus, reviews help future travellers choose their experience with confidence. The feedback displayed on our website comes from customers who have booked or participated in our tours.
Reviews are collected after the experience, allowing travellers to share their honest opinion about the guide, itinerary, organisation, transportation and overall quality of the tour.
We value transparency and do not edit reviews to change their meaning. Positive and critical feedback both help us maintain high standards, improve our services and provide clear, useful information to future guests.
Our reviews may also be collected and displayed through trusted independent platforms such as Tripadvisor or other recognised travel review services.
