Overview

Guidekin summary

An afternoon on the Médoc's Route des Châteaux in a minivan capped at eight: two winery visits with six tastings, then an extra glass with cheese and local nibbles at the last estate. Pickup is from central Bordeaux rather than hotels; no lunch, no water bottles, and the tour needs two guests to run. 4.81 from 107 reviews at €105 per person.
