    A great way to learn a little about good Wines

    We thoroughly enjoyed our vineyard visits and wine tasting experience organised by our guide Emanuel. He was there promptly to meet us at the arranged rendezvous at outside the Cite de Vin, and was able to comfortably load our group of 8 onboard his minibus. The trip to the first vineyard took about 40 minutes, but he was able to give us lots of information about the region and it's wines in both excellent English and French. Both of the Vineyards made us very welcome and were happy to tell us all about how they produce their Wines, before taking us through a well structured tasting process. There was an option to buy or order wine's from both places, but no undue pressure to purchase. Before taking us back to Bordeaux Emanuel took us to the beautiful little town of St Emillion where we were treated to Macaroons and got the chance to do a bit of shopping or get an ice-cream before he whisked us back to where we started off from in Bordeaux. Emanuel was very knowledgeable and pleasant to chat to. An excellent introduction to the delights of the French wine experience. Many thanks Emanuel 🍷☺️

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this beautiful and positive review! I'm very happy you enjoyed your tour with me. All my best, Emmanuel

    Nice wine trip in the Médoc

    We were picked up on time by Emmanuel with a 7-seater. In a small group of four people we visited two interesting chateaux where we were shown around by people from the chateaux themselves. Along the way we were talked about Bordeaux wines. Since the group spoke the best English, Emmanuel did everything in that language. All in all a fun and well organized trip.

    Response from the operator: Thank you!

    Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.

    How much does Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines cost?

    +

    Prices start at $108 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 Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines?

    +

    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 Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines?

    +

    Around 1 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines 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.

    What is included in Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Visit of two wineries including one in Margaux. Not included: Lunch; Bottled water; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines?

    +

    What happens to Half-day in the Médoc : 2 wineries & 6 wines if the weather is bad?
