Excellent afternoon tour to Margaux

Published on Dec, 2024

This was our first time in Bourdeaux and we decided to take this tour to Margaux on the left bank of Gironde in the afternoon of December 2. The tour was organized by Olala and our guide was Valentin. The departure point was a wine bar on Rue Mably, which is conveniently located and provides water replenishment service and a restroom. Everything in our case moved like clockwork. We left on time in a group of six and rode for about an hour while Valentin provided lots of information regarding Bourdeaux and wine along the way to Chateau Margaux where it was possible to take photos. Then we headed to Chateau Paveil de Luze for the first tasting. After a tour of the winery where we got briefed about the history of the estate and their process of winemaking, we tasted three wines, the first being a white and then two reds. In between the tastings we were offered chocolate sticks with different flavors. Then we headed to Chateau Dauzac for the second tasting where we were again given information on the same subject and then moved to the tasting of three wines, all red this time. On the way back, Valentin gave tips on favorable places to visit in and around Bourdeaux. These were all to the point since he is from around the area. His driving was very smooth and he was quite knowledgeable on the subject of wine. All in all, this was an excellent tour on a cool yet beautiful sunny day with nice people to the heart of wine country.
