Your English-speaking guide handles the driving in a small minivan.

Spend five hours exploring Bordeaux wine country by coach with an English and French-speaking guide. Depending on your date, visit Saint-Émilion and its underground church, or tour two châteaux in Médoc, Graves, Sauternais, or Entre-deux-Mers. Friday combines Blaye’s citadel with a château tasting.
