Roberto was a fantastic...
Roberto was a fantastic guide. His English is perfect and he is very knowledgable. He made the experience exceptional! The wineries were wonderful but I would have preferred some that were more Cab focused since it’s the Medoc. The tastings were done at the wineries. Cheese at the first, charcuterie at the second and sweets at the third.
Response from the operator: We’re so pleased Roberto’s knowledge and enthusiasm made your experience exceptional! It’s lovely to hear you enjoyed the wineries and the food pairings along the way. We also appreciate your feedback about wanting more Cabernet-focused tastings during your Médoc visit. Thank you for sharing both the highlights and what would have made the day even better for you.

A well put together tour
This was a well put together tour of the Medoc region which really developed our knowledge of the left bank, visiting a variety of estates and including plenty of tastings.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted the variety of estates and tastings helped deepen your understanding of the Médoc and the left bank. It’s rewarding to hear you enjoyed how the day was put together and came away with plenty of new wine knowledge.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $216 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 Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 45 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 Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
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 Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
Around 16 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour 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 Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
Included: English speaking-guide; 3 wineries visits; Bottled water; Transportation; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
Rustic Vines agency. City center, next to the Parliament Square. 2 minutes walk from Place de la Bourse. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Médoc : Food and Wine Day Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Bordeaux. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
