Great wine tasting experience!
One of our best days in Bordeaux. The wines we tasted were a great representation of the region with very knowledgeable guides. The town of St Emillion was beautiful with very interesting history. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words. I’m delighted to know the wines, the knowledgeable guidance, and the charm of Saint‑Émilion made the day feel so special. It’s wonderful that the experience stood out as one of your best in Bordeaux, and I truly appreciate your recommendation.

Some Suggestions
There are some steep and rocky stairs but they were doable for this 83-year old but would be impossible if one had mobility issues. Our guide Yev was great. I would suggest doing a little research on wine before taking the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your impressions. I am glad to hear that Yev’s guidance made the experience so enjoyable and that his explanations added depth to the tour. Your note about the stairs is very helpful for future visitors, and your suggestion to review some wine basics beforehand is excellent advice for making the most of the day. I truly appreciate your feedback and hope you will return to Bordeaux for more discoveries.

Excellent experience!
Our guide and driver Dante was excellent!! His in depth wine production and tasting expertise was so helpful in understanding the regions that we saw, the wineries we visited, and the wines we tasted. The wineries were both beautiful and wildly different, enhancing the experience. Would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I am pleased to know that Dante’s expertise and guidance made the day so enriching, and that the variety of wineries added to the overall experience. I truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back to Bordeaux for more discoveries.

Great day in Bordeaux wine country
Dante was very knowledgeable about the region and the different wines produced here. We had a lovely picnic lunch at one of the wineries we visited...just delightful! St. Emilion is not to be missed!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your impressions. I am glad to hear that Dante’s knowledge of the region and its wines made the experience so enriching, and that the picnic lunch added such a lovely touch to the day. Saint‑Émilion truly is a highlight, and I hope to welcome you back again to explore more of Bordeaux’s wine country.

Amazing Tour
We had an absolutely fantastic full-day private tour of the Médoc and Saint-Émilion wine regions, and it was truly one of the highlights of our time in Bordeaux. Our guide, Paola, was exceptional from beginning to end. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the region, the wineries, the history, and, of course, the wines. What really made the day special, though, was her personality. Paola was warm, engaging, professional, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. She made everything feel relaxed and personal rather than like a typical organized tour. The entire day was beautifully planned and gave us a wonderful appreciation for both Médoc and Saint-Émilion. We learned so much, tasted some incredible wines, saw beautiful countryside and vineyards, and never felt rushed. Paola knew exactly how to make the experience informative while still keeping it fun and enjoyable. If you are visiting the Bordeaux region and considering a private wine tour, I cannot recommend this experience — and especially Paola — highly enough. She absolutely made the day for us. We would 100% book this tour again if we return to the region. Thank you, Paola, for an unforgettable day and one of the best experiences of our trip!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review. I am delighted to know that your private tour through the Médoc and Saint‑Émilion was one of the highlights of your time in Bordeaux, and that the planning, pace, and variety of experiences made the day feel both informative and enjoyable. It means a great deal to hear that my knowledge and approach helped create a relaxed, personal atmosphere rather than a standard tour. I truly appreciate your kind words and would be very happy to welcome you back whenever you return to the region.

Saint-Émilion & Médoc : Full day with tastings and WSET guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Saint-Émilion & Médoc : Full day with tastings and WSET guide 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 Saint-Émilion & Médoc : Full day with tastings and WSET guide 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 Saint-Émilion & Médoc : Full day with tastings and WSET guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 34 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 Saint-Émilion & Médoc : Full day with tastings and WSET guide?
+
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 Saint-Émilion & Médoc : Full day with tastings and WSET guide 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 Saint-Émilion & Médoc : Full day with tastings and WSET guide?
+
Around 12 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 Saint-Émilion & Médoc : Full day with tastings and WSET guide 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.
