Bordeaux Wine Tours: Saint-Émilion, the Médoc and Private Days
56 tours from 20 to 930 EUR, median 187. A day on the right bank, the left bank or a private car: three different purchases.
Bordeaux wine tours come in three kinds, and the price tells you which. Of the 56 we list, 20 go to Saint-Émilion at a median of 154 EUR, 16 go to the Médoc at 160 EUR, and 20 are private at 500 EUR. The two shared days cost almost the same, which hides the real question: Saint-Émilion is a 30 minute train ride from the city, and the Médoc is not a place you reach without a driver. This page is the map of that choice. It covers the two banks, how to get to each, which famous châteaux actually open their doors, what August does to the calendar, and which of the three format pages to open next. Tour-by-tour detail lives on those pages, and what we say here is the part a provider's listing leaves out: who shuts, what the train really does, and how the classification changes what is in the glass.
Numbers are read from the listings on 30 September 2026. Prices are per person as the providers show them. Private tours usually price the car rather than the guest, so the private page does those sums for two, four and six people. One operator, Ophorus, holds 27% of all the reviews on the region's tours, which matters when you read a rating: on the Médoc tours it carries almost half of them. Wherever a fact comes from a château, a trade body or a booking site, we say so, and dates are ours to keep current.
