# Bordeaux Médoc Region Private Wine Lovers Tour with Chateau Visits & Tastings

**Guidekin's take:** A private full day in Médoc for your party only: three châteaux visited and tasted in Margaux, Saint-Julien, Pauillac or Saint-Estèphe, with hotel pickup and a guide who reads the gravel terroir on the road north. Lunch is extra in a local brasserie, cellars get cold so bring a layer, and the dress code is smart casual. 5 from 42 reviews.

## Overview

Visit and wine tasting at three châteaux in the famous villages of Margaux, St Julien, Pauillac or St Estephe. This is the land of the grand impressive châteaux and we will visit three and pass infront of the most famous such as Lafite Rothschild, Margaux and Latour. The terroir changes as we go up this rather flat landscape which forms a peninsular between the large Gironde Estuary and the Atlantic sea to the left. Increasing number of large gravel stones make the wine more fullbodied. We will taste the difference between a Margaux and a Pauillac or St Julien and some older ones. With thirty years of experience I will be able to impart my stories and experiences while we travel and visit. If there is one unique region to visit, this is it! I will include a smaller family property to show the difference and get closer to the winemaker. We will normally taste the difference between a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and then taste them blended together to understand the magic of Bordeaux!
