Médoc Day Trip

temp

If you love Cabernet Sauvignon, the finesse of Margaux, and the power of Saint-Estèphe, Médoc is the place to be. This legendary region stretches between the ocean and the Gironde estuary, blessed with gravel-rich soils that produce some of the world’s most exceptional wines.

Made famous by the 1855 Classification, which still defines Bordeaux’s most prestigious châteaux today, Médoc remains a paradise for wine lovers. From grand estates to smaller, family-run vineyards, every stop reveals a new layer of the region’s history and flavor.

Between château visits, enjoy a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant and take in the scenery that makes the Médoc so unforgettable.
