Travel Tips & Best Practices
Wine Tour Planning
Book château visits in advance (many require reservation). Médoc and Saint-Émilion are 1 hour apart, hard to do both in one day.
Best Wine Season
May-October for warm weather. September harvest season (vendanges) is special. April-May for spring vineyards.
Designated Driver
Private chauffeur essential for wine tours — enjoy tastings without driving. Driver waits at each château.
Atlantic Coast
Arcachon Bay and Dune du Pilat (Europe's tallest sand dune) are 1 hour west. Great for beach lunch after wine tasting.
