Drive along the scenic Chateau Route on your way to Médoc and marvel at the elegant chateaux and fascinating vineyards. Your first stop is in a family-run estate. Feel the family's passion for wine as you stroll through their vineyards, cellars, and vat rooms. Join a special tasting class for an introduction to the different colors, aromas, and tastes of wine before heading to a classified growth estate.

Tour this charming chateau while learning about the wine-making process from vine to bottle.

Later, sample 2 local wines and enjoy an authentic French apéritif with local specialties, including bread, cheese, and charcuterie.
