Our Scheduled Experiences and Tastings:

Cabernet Sauvignon, classified growths, and the historic heart of Bordeaux

Your private group, accompanied by a WSET Level 3 Awarded Guide (with Distinction), will travel north from Bordeaux along the famed Route des Châteaux into the Médoc, where some of the world’s most celebrated wines are produced. This is the homeland of Cabernet Sauvignon — structured, age-worthy wines shaped by gravelly soils and centuries of winemaking tradition.

Your day includes private visits to carefully selected estates, including a classified growth château, where you’ll explore vineyards, vat rooms and cellars while gaining a clearer understanding of how these iconic wines are made. Along the way, you’ll learn how terroir, blending decisions and aging practices come together to define the distinctive style of the Left Bank.

Expect guided tastings that bring clarity to what can otherwise feel complex — why these wines taste the way they do, how they evolve with time, and what makes each appellation unique.

The experience provides our guests with a full day of discovery, thoughtfully paced, with time to enjoy the landscape, ask questions, and develop a deeper appreciation for the great wines of the Médoc.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Harmony

Your private group will travel just south of the city of Bordeaux, with a WSET Level 3 Awarded Guide (With Distinction), to Pessac-Léognan and the historic Graves region — home to some of the most elegant and compelling wines in all of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot share the stage, joined by exceptional dry white wines that are among the finest in France. Less traveled than the Médoc or Saint-Émilion, the region lies close to the city yet is quietly distinct. Your guide will help you discover a side of Bordeaux that many visitors miss, and to return home with stories and insights well beyond the usual wine-tour script.

You’ll explore a selection of thoughtfully chosen estates, visiting vineyards, vat rooms, and cellars, discovering how gravelly soils and meticulous winemaking give rise to wines of balance, aromatic complexity, and remarkable food-friendliness.

Tastings will include both reds and whites, offering a broader perspective on Bordeaux than many visitors expect. From structured yet polished reds to vibrant, mineral-driven whites, the diversity of the region will be clear.

Less visited than the Médoc yet equally rich in history, Pessac-Léognan and Graves offer a more intimate, nuanced experience — perfect for those looking to deepen their understanding of Bordeaux beyond the most famous names.

Your private group will travel with a WSET Level 3 Awarded Guide (With Distinction) to the Right Bank for a captivating experience highlighted by Merlot‑driven wines and some of the most dramatic landscapes in Bordeaux. Saint‑Émilion’s limestone hillsides, Pomerol’s stately plateau and the châteaux that rise above them have created centuries of history and winemaking tradition.

You’ll step into vineyards, vat rooms and cellars, meet the people behind the wines, and witness the meticulous processes that shape each vintage.

We’ll also discuss the region’s limestone and clay soils, the role of Cabernet Franc, and the differences among Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, and their surrounding appellations.

During these tastings, we will measure each pour against the systematic criteria used to evaluate world-class wine: Balance, Length, Intensity, Complexity, and Varietal Typicity (BLIC). You will see firsthand how the finest wines of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol achieve greatness through harmony, texture, and an unmistakable sense of place.

The Collector’s Edge. By the final toast, you will have developed a nuanced understanding of vintage selection, aging potential, and stylistic differences between the Right Bank’s celebrated estates.

An Elevated Day-Long Journey for Connoisseurs and Collectors: Experience the Emperor Napoleon’s 1855 Crus classification

This day-long experience elevates your private group’s understanding of the legendary wines of the Médoc well above what most visitors to Bordeaux ever encounter. Designed specifically for serious connoisseurs and collectors, it is an immersive journey tailored to expand your palate and your cellar.

Travel north from Bordeaux along the famed Route des Châteaux to visit some of the finest wineries in the world: the Grands Crus Classés du Médoc of 1855. Along the way, you will discover how distinct terroir, meticulous winemaking skill, and patient aging before release combine to create the true greatness — and justifiable expense — of these wines.

Your group will be transported throughout the day by our private driver. This allows your WSET Level 3 Awarded Guide (With Distinction) to provide his full, undivided attention to you during travel. As you pass legendary estates, your guide will share personal insights, insider stories, and recommendations for exclusive Grands Crus, Crus Bourgeois, and artisan wineries to note for your future collection.

Exploring the private vineyards, vat rooms and historic cellars, you will learn how these elite vignerons share common bonds in history, while maintaining uniquely different philosophies to achieve the product in the glass.

Expect Elevated Tasting Experiences: You will participate in blind and/or vertical tastings across several historic vintages of the same Grand Cru wine. We may also explore select Vin de France bottlings chosen by these estates to allow for creative flexibility in grape variety and style. We’ll also encounter second and third labels, discovering hidden gems and cellar defenders suitable for earlier consumption while your grands vins mature.

During these tastings, we’ll measure what we taste against the systematic criteria employed to evaluate world-class wine: Balance, Length, Intensity, Complexity, and Varietal Typicity. You will see firsthand how the Grands Crus measure up consistently against these to justify their elevated place in the market.

As the experience progresses, you’ll gain new favorites, better understanding how vintage selection is paramount. You’ll also discern flavors and aromas in a manner that expands and surpasses your prior understanding.

This is a day-long experience designed especially for serious connoisseurs and collectors. Expect by our final toast to have your horizons expanded, and to have identified new bottles to fill your cellar.
