    Great day

    Veronica was fantastic! She was an excellent guide and told us history and showed us the medoc region

    via Viator

    Renee A · October 2018

    Terrific tour with knowledgeable guide

    We did a private tour for 4 with Julie the last week of September. Julie was great about communicating with us before the tour to plan exactly what would work for us. As two couples, we happened to be quite flexible. Our tour, as it turned out, was during harvest. We got to see and experience more than we had on previous tours we’ve taken elsewhere. We saw grapes being sorted and stirred in the vats. Julie was incredibly knowledgeable about not just the particular wineries she took us to, but wines, generally, and the wine-making process. We learned so much. She was lots of fun to spend the day with. It was really a terrific tour.

    Response from the operator: So happy you got to see the most exciting time of year here in the vineyards. Thank you for your kind words. Now put all that learning to good use!

    Stunning tour of 2 vineyards for a stag party

    This was absolutely fantastic and Emma was so very kind and helpful in the lead up. I really could not have asked for more. Will do again.

    Response from the operator: Glad you enjoyed your day. Happy to help. Looking forward to seeing you again in the area!

    Medoc Private Wine Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Medoc Private Wine Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $913 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 Private Wine Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 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 Private Wine Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Medoc Private Wine 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 Medoc Private Wine Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Medoc Private Wine Tour?

    +

    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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Medoc Private Wine 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 Medoc Private Wine Tour?

    Included: Private tour; Wine tasting; Transport by private vehicle Mercedes mid-sized luxury minivan; Driver/guide; and Live commentary on board. Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off outside of Bordeaux. A supplement will be charged. Consult us fo; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
