It was a wonderful time...
It was a wonderful time despite the heat wave. Guide was knowledgeable and van had good AC. Good pace and excellent lunch. We were traveling with our 6 year old and they made sure he had his own "tasting."
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're so pleased that you and your family had an enjoyable day with us. It means a lot to know we could make the experience comfortable and engaging for guests of all ages, including your 6 year-old! We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future.

Great Tours, Expert Guide, Great Lunch
Three very welcoming wineries with knowledgeable vineyard hosts. Lynch under the vineyard trees was a nice touch. Vinka gave us a guided tour of St Emilion- she was an outstanding guide and unquestionably a wine expert.
Response from the operator: Dear James, Thank you for your kind review! We're happy you enjoyed the winery visits, the lunch among the vineyards, and the guided tour of Saint-Émilion with Vinka. We hope to welcome you again soon for another great wine experience! Sincerely, A la Française Team

Bordeaux Full day Medoc and St Emilion 3 chateaux with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Bordeaux Full day Medoc and St Emilion 3 chateaux with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $227 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bordeaux usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bordeaux Full day Medoc and St Emilion 3 chateaux with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bordeaux is not rushed.
Is Bordeaux Full day Medoc and St Emilion 3 chateaux with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 82 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bordeaux Full day Medoc and St Emilion 3 chateaux with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bordeaux Full day Medoc and St Emilion 3 chateaux with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bordeaux Full day Medoc and St Emilion 3 chateaux with Lunch?
+
Around 29 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bordeaux can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bordeaux and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bordeaux Full day Medoc and St Emilion 3 chateaux with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bordeaux within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bordeaux?
+
On Outty we rank every Bordeaux experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch, Saint-Émilion Afternoon Tour - 2 Grand crus & French apéritif, Graves & Saint-Emilion Wine Tour | 3 Châteaux & Gourmet Picnic. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bordeaux?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bordeaux?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Where is the meeting point for Bordeaux Full day Medoc and St Emilion 3 chateaux with Lunch?
+
