Pleasant afternoon
Very pleasant afternoon. Chateau were lovely (one was gorgeous). Wines were good. Nice to have the cheese platter at one of them. Stopping to admire the famous Chateau Margaux was a treat. Guide even fit in a stop at a chocolate shop! She was very nice. Would have been better if she provided more narration during the drive. Maybe some history, information about the grapes, local stories. When asked questions, she did a great job of answering. Would have liked her to share more of her knowledge! Definitely recommend!

We took the 2:00 pm Medoc...
We took the 2:00 pm Medoc wine tour . There were a few small groups going out , we were incredibly dory to have Mel as our guide tour director and driver. We were 8 in total and we had a blast. Mel was so knowledgeable and loved sharing the area and winery information with us. She was so personable it made the experience fabulous. The Medoc region and wineries are very special, the tours were very interesting and wine tastings very generous. Don’t miss this opportunity while in Bordeaux!
Response from the operator: Dear Hali, Thank you for your kind feedback. We’ll be sure to share your comments with Mel. We hope to welcome you back for another wine experience in Bordeaux! Sincerely, A la Française Team

Would not recommend at this price
Disappointing wine tasting experience. Only one chateau experience, barely any wine and no variety. We were rushed through the tasting because of the tour guide but the sommelier was good. Couldn’t go into shops at saint-emillion, but Tebo was very informative. I wouldn’t recommend at this price.

Response from the operator: Dear John, Thank you for your feedback. We’ll be happy to share your comments with Vicky. We hope to welcome you again for another wine tour in Bordeaux! Sincerely, A la Française Team

Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux cost?
+
Prices start at $97 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 Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,523 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux?
+
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 Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux?
+
Around 533 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux 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 Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux?
+

Where is the meeting point for Medoc or Saint Emilion Wine and Tasting tour from Bordeaux?
+
In front of the Girondins Column Statue - Quinconces Square (Adresse / Address : 2792 Place des Quinconces, 33000 Bordeaux) Please be there 10min before tour departure (2:00pm) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
