Bordeaux → one wine area per day

Choose contrasting appellations rather than trying to cover both banks and Sauternes in one day.

Getting around
Arrive at Bordeaux Saint-Jean. Compare guided outings with train access to selected towns; estates still need a final leg.

Suggested route only; not a bookable package. Estate visits often require appointments. For tastings, arrange a transfer or designate a driver.
