A Bordeaux wine tour that expends so much time on just a few vineyards may seem extravagant. Taking a tour devoted only to wine appreciation is, in and of itself, a luxuriant act. 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 tour, we can make an even more complete itinerary. Of course you can also opt for including other appellations, such as Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Barsac and Sauternes.

In our Right Bank Bordeaux wine tour we suggest wine estate visits in Pomerol and St. Émilion. If you wish we can also include great value wine estates in appellations such Blaye, Bourg, Fronsac, Lalande de Pomerol, St. Émilion satellites, Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux and Entre-Deux-Mers.

Our approach to wine touring gives you the leisure to relish each visit fully, and allows time both for viewing sites of general interest, and for appreciating fine wines in their best context: accompanying 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 our tours, we can either include your personal favorite for each or suggest our own, not always from classified growths. We do not adhere slavishly to classified estates and frequently avoid first and second growths because often they lack the motivation to provide a warm welcome or make efforts to explain what sets them apart from their competition.
