Guidekin's take

A full day on the left bank among the classified growths of the Médoc, with château visits and all tasting fees paid, by minivan from a central meeting point.

Adults only, no food is served between tastings so eat first, no hotel pickup, and the tour skips certain Sundays in spring and late autumn. 4.63 from 322 reviews at €160 per person.

Best for: Choose a Médoc day for three château tastings at €160 per person for 8h; English only, adults only, no lunch. 4.63, 322 reviews. Médoc Wine Tours comparison

Trade-off: Adults only; food not included.
