Interesting tour to two beautiful designed Chateaus in Medoc, both showed us the production process as well as wine tasting. Our guide Sara was very nice, knowledgable (and a great driver...). Recommended experience for a visit in Bordeaux.

Blown away in Margaux !

We spent an enjoyable, if very windy,, afternoon visiting a couple of chateaux in Margaux. Our guide, Theo, was friendly and informative and both vineyards were welcoming. We particularly enjoyed visiting the bunker at Chateau Siran, with wines dating back to 1916.
