Our driver and guide was...
Our driver and guide was Oscar and he was a delight. Very much enjoyed his expertise in wine and wine making. Enjoyed Chateau Siran and the wine was very good. We did not care that much for the other wineries. But Oscar still made it a great day.

Wonderful day. Our guide...
Wonderful day. Our guide Lea was great and very knowledgeable. Vineyards and wineries visited were spot on. We bought a case and shipped to US so you know it was good especially the last stop at Chateau Dauzac

Best wine trip to Medoc!
Since I toured St Emilion the day before, I wasn’t sure if I should take another wine tour to Medoc. However, I am so grateful that I did! This wine region of France is very charming with story book looking chateaus and fabulous red wines. Our tour guide, Rudolph, was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He had quite the sense of humor which made the day fun but also made everything very educational about wines and the region. He even had a fun game on the ride home. The chateaus that were chosen were each very unique and had its own vibe which kept things interesting for the day. I would definitely take this tour again and highly recommend a full day trip to Medoc with this company. My only advice is to leave early if you are taking an uber bc the city center traffic (where the meeting place is located) is very busy in the morning. I almost missed the van.

Amazing!
Rodolphe was amazing! He knew so much about wine and the area it made our tour unforgettable. What a great day.

Big disappointment!
Unfortunately we found this experience to be very disappointing. Our driver and guide was very nice and informative. However the guide at the first winery was indifferent and difficult to understand. The wines poured at all three wineries were not high quality. We have visited wineries all over the world and were excited to come to such a prestigious wine area in France. I cannot recommend this activity.
Response from the operator: Bonjour Susan_V, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated your driver-guide, and we’re sorry the winery experience did not meet your expectations. We have been working with these winery partners for many years, but we take your comments seriously and will review them internally with our team and partners. Kind regards, Carole The Ophorus Team

Medoc Region Wine Day Trip with Vineyard Visits & Tastings from Bordeaux: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Medoc Region Wine Day Trip with Vineyard Visits & Tastings from Bordeaux cost?
+
Prices start at $183 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 Region Wine Day Trip with Vineyard Visits & Tastings from Bordeaux take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Region Wine Day Trip with Vineyard Visits & Tastings from Bordeaux worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 323 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 Region Wine Day Trip with Vineyard Visits & Tastings 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 Region Wine Day Trip with Vineyard Visits & Tastings from Bordeaux suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Medoc Region Wine Day Trip with Vineyard Visits & Tastings from Bordeaux?
+
Around 113 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Medoc Region Wine Day Trip with Vineyard Visits & Tastings 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.
