Bordeaux Shore Excursion | Private Wine Tour from your ship

This Bordeaux shore excursion is designed for cruise passengers who want to make the most of their time ashore. Whether your ship docks in Bordeaux city, Pauillac orLe Verdon-sur-Mer  (the three main cruise ports in the region) your personal guide meets you directly at the gangway. Unlike the large coach excursions sold onboard, our tours are entirely private — just your group, your own expert local guide, and a carefully curated selection of authentic family estates that big commercial circuits don’t have access to.

No transfer. No large group. No worrying about missing the ship. From the moment you step ashore, your day is taken care of. Your private vehicle takes you into the heart of the Médoc, one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions, where two
carefully selected châteaux are waiting. At each estate, you’ll discover the story behind the wine, the terroir and the people who make it,  before tasting 6 to 7 wines that showcase the velvety character and prestige of this region.

Lunch is an integral part of the experience. Not a quick stop between visits, but an authentic gourmet meal at a local French brasserie, where you can taste regional cuisine and take your time to enjoy. Slow down and savor this moment, the way the French do!

Arriving at Le Verdon-sur-Mer? Your guide meets you at the ship and your excursion begins immediately. The Médoc’s legendary Route des Châteaux starts right on your doorstep, passing prestigious names like Margaux, Pauillac and Saint-Estèphe along the way. For wine lovers, it doesn’t get much better than this as a starting point.

Your customized itinerary is planned around your cruise schedule from start to finish. We monitor the timing throughout the day and return you to your ship before departure — guaranteed. So what are you waiting for? Reach out to discuss your dream itinerary, and we’ll make it happen.
