About this tour
Explore Bordeaux's architectural heritage and surrounding vineyard estates in a restored 1973 Citroën DS convertible over three hours. This private tour pairs guided commentary through the city's grand squares and waterfront with a drive into the countryside to visit a working château. You'll taste wines on-site (fee separate), experiencing the region's winemaking traditions at your own pace. The classic car itself—all curves, chrome and open-air comfort—is as much the point as the destination.

What to expect
Your driver will collect you and head into central Bordeaux, pointing out neoclassical buildings, the Garonne waterfront, and public squares as you cruise. Expect about 90 minutes of city driving before heading out into the Graves or Médoc vineyard region. Once at the château, you'll have time to wander the grounds, meet the winemaker or cellar staff, and taste their selections—typically three to five wines. The whole experience is unhurried; there's no rushing between stops. Bring sunscreen for the convertible, and note that tasting fees run €10–30 per person, paid separately at the château.
Good to know
Wine tasting costs are not included and vary by château. Infant seats and wheelchair access are available. The car is open-top, so dress warmly in cooler months. Public transport is nearby if you prefer an alternative. Gratuities are at your discretion.
