Graves, Pessac-Léognan & Sauternes Private Wine Tour from Bordeaux

Discover the diversity of Bordeaux wines on a private full-day journey through the prestigious wine regions of Graves, Pessac-Léognan, and Sauternes. Accompanied by an English-speaking wine expert guide, explore some of the historic terroirs that have shaped Bordeaux’s reputation for more than two millennia.

Your experience begins in the Graves and Pessac-Léognan appellations, where visits to selected wine estates introduce you to the production of both red and dry white Bordeaux wines. During guided tours of the vineyards and cellars, learn about local grape varieties, vineyard management, and winemaking techniques before enjoying commented tastings at the estate.

After a lunch stop at your own expense, continue to the celebrated Sauternes region. Known for its distinctive sweet wines, Sauternes offers a fascinating introduction to the unique production methods that create some of Bordeaux’s most famous dessert wines. A guided château visit and tasting provide insight into the characteristics and aromas that define these exceptional wines.

Throughout the day, your guide shares expert commentary on Bordeaux wine history, terroirs, appellations, and food pairings, offering a comprehensive overview of three very different wine styles in a single experience.
