Book your trip with a green tourist agency!
Explore the vineyards of Bordeaux and visit two wineries off the beaten track: one in the prestigious Pessac-Léognan appellation and the second in the beautiful Entre-deux-Mers region.
2:25pm: Meet in front of the Cité du Vin (Wine Museum). Your guide will welcome you and explain the day's programme.
2:30pm: departure.
The half-day tour begins with a visit to a certified organic Pessac-Léognan winery. You'll learn how the wines of this region are made, visit the vat room and barrel cellar, before tasting the estate's wines (red and white, 2 minimum).
Then we'll cross the Garonne river to discover another part of the Bordeaux vineyard: Entre-deux-Mers. Nicknamed "Little Tuscany", this is a hilly region that produces a wide variety of wines. You will visit a second wine estate, followed by a tasting of at least 3 wines (different colors).
At the end of the day, you'll have discovered a little-visited part of the vineyard and enjoyed wines that are very different from one another. An excellent way to discover the diversity of the Bordeaux vineyard!
6.30pm: return to Bordeaux (+/- 15 min.).
Depending on local requirements, the programme may be modified.

Superb tour with two great stops.
Very congenial and enjoyable host and guide. He loves France, Bordeaux, and it shows through! Delicious wines, and interesting and informative vineyards. We really enjoyed the small size of the group too. Very highly recommended way to connect to this lovely region.
Wonderful & incredible tour by Emmanuel!
This tour provides a wonderful, small-group tour of two Bordeaux wineries. Emmanuel is so knowledgeable about the wine region and gave us such a great start to understanding what goes into growing the grapes in the various areas (left versus right banks) and also the art of blending these amazing wines. He selects wineries that provide a very intimate experience of both learning and tasting. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend any of Emmanuel’s tours.
Very enjoyable
I had a great time during this half-day in Pessac Leognan and Entre-Deux-Mers. Emmanuel, our tour guide, was super friendly and patient with us. He answered every single question I asked (There were many, as I am studying for the French Wine Scholar exam). The two châteaux were well chosen (off the beaten track). The one in Pessac Leognan produced some incredible saffron (alongside the vines), and we got to try their amazing saffron oil. The first one also produced some Syrah wine, which is very unusual in Bordeaux. Both were organic wine producers. We were only 8 people, and it felt more enjoyable than the cheaper tour in a huge coach and 50 people. I will definitely book another tour (or two) with Vert Bordeaux the next time I am in town.
