Can You Visit Château Margaux?

chateau margaux tour

Yes, it is possible to visit Château Margaux, one of the iconic wineries of Bordeaux.

While this famous first growth estate is prioritising visits by wine professionals, the lovers and collectors of Château Margaux wines can get a visit appointment as long as they ask for a reservation early enough.

My Médoc Wine Tour Guide could be helpful in creating your self-guided tour.

Where is Château Margaux?

chateau margaux tour

Château Margaux is located near the village of Margaux north of Bordeaux in the Médoc wine region on the left bank of the Garrone river.

The best way to reach Château Margaux is by car.  When in the village of Margaux, you will find the winery just by the church of Saint Michel.  Parking is located inside the yellow gate.

You will find the reception of Château Margaux behind the parking area to the left of the main building. 

Address:  Chateau Margaux, 33460 Margaux Tel : +33 (0) 5 57 88 83 83

How to Visit Château Margaux?

Contact Château Margaux through their website to request an appointment.  It is important to book your visit several months in advance.  If you plan to visit Bordeaux in the summer, I recommend asking for a visit as early as December or January.

Another option would be to join a private wine tour or use my wine tour planning service and request a visit to Château Margaux.

The visit of Château Margaux is currently offered free of charge.

When is Château Margaux Open?

chateau margaux tour

Château Margaux is open Monday through Friday. The estate is closed on weekends, public holidays, in August and during the harvest.  

What Is Included in the Visit of Château Margaux?

The visit lasts approximately one hour.  It is important to be on time.

You visit will start in the small museum of Château Margaux.

chateau margaux tour

You will then walk by the famous gate and continue on to the modern vinification room of Château Margaux, the Nouveau Chai designed by Norman Foster .

This architectural gem is serving during the harvest as a receiving and sorting facility.  After the most rigorous selections the juice transforms into wine in these stainless steel vats.

chateau margaux tour

As you walk through the estate, you will also see the historic 19th century vinification room with large oak vats with some still in use.

On the lower level, you will be shown two vast cellars where the wines are aged in new oak barrels waiting for their time to be bottled.

wine barrels room

Under the vineyard there is a 70-metre-long Vinothèque.  This is an underground storage for the collection of Château Margaux bottles. The mass of the concrete helps to naturally regulate temperatures and provide optimal conditions for the precious wine and does not require cooling.

Wine tastings of the first wine at Château Margaux are mostly offered to professionals.

What if You Cannot Get an Appointment at Château Margaux on Your Date?

It is not always easy to get a reservation at Château Margaux.  

If you plan to visit Bordeaux wineries on a weekend or did not request your visit soon enough, I have some suggestions.

Firstly, you can always stop by the famous plane alley and the gates to see the famous estate and take a photo.  Please note that you must park within a designated parking behind the yellow walls.

Secondly, during the estate working hours, you are welcome to visit the château museum located to the right of the main building.  No reservation is required.

Finally, there are several other grand cru classé wineries that can be available to visit in Margaux.

To help you with your Bordeaux wine tour planning, here is the  map of the Médoc wineres .

These Médoc wineries can be easily booked online:

Château Lanessan

Château Haut-Breton Larigaudière

Where is Margaux, France?

Margaux is a small village located 25 km or 15 miles north of the city of Bordeaux, France, on the left bank of the Garonne river.

Villages surrounding Margaux are Cantenac, Labarde, Arsac and  Soussans.

See the map of Bordeaux wine country here and my  map of Margaux wineries below.

The iconic Chateau Margaux is located in the village of Margaux behind the church of Saint-Michel. 

See how to get from Bordeaux to Margaux here .

How to Get from Bordeaux to Margaux?

Margaux wineries by car.

The wineries of Margaux are located within 25-30 minutes drive from the city of Bordeaux.

If you are driving to Margaux from Bordeaux, take road D2 which is also known as the Route of the Chateaux  since many Medoc wine estates are located along this road or close by.

Although the distance between Bordeaux and Margaux is quite short, the road is narrow with some steep curves. The speed limit is mostly 50 kph (31 mph).

Do You Need to Rent a Car in Bordeaux?

Tip: For Chateau Margaux, make a right turn from D2 onto D105 or Route de l'Eglise if you are driving from Bordeaux. I found that Google maps directions aren't very accurate. If you are stopping at Chateau Margaux for a photo opp, leave your car inside the fenced parking lot only (yellow fence). Do not leave the car in the plane alley. As this is a working entrance for the estate you will be asked to move by a security guard.

Margaux Wineries by Public Transport

The village of Margaux can be reached by suburban TER train or TransGironde bus from Bordeaux.

A train from Bordeaux Gare St. Jean to Margaux station takes approximately 40 to 45 minutes.  See train schedules and buy tickets here . 

You can then explore the Margaux area on foot. Another great way to move around the Margaux countryside is by bike.  You can rent a bike or a scooter at Chateau Marquis de Terme .  

How to Visit Margaux Wineries?

Medoc Wine Tours in May

Chateau Ferriere is easy to access, just off D2.  They accept drop-in tastings.

Most winery visits in Bordeaux require an advance appointment.  You can select wineries to visit and build your itinerary using this Bordeaux Wineries List and Map . 

Keep in mind that not all Margaux wineries are open to the public.  

Top wineries such as Chateau Margaux , Chateau Palmer require an appointment often a few months before your visit.

Organized wine tours are another great way to visit wineries in Margaux.  Your guide will arrange all visits and won’t need to worry about schedules or driving. 

During my private Medoc tours , we visit Margaux wineries or combine them with visiting other vineyards in the Medoc area – Pauillac, Saint Julien and Saint Estephe, which are a bit further away along the D2.

If you prefer traveling as part of a group, check out these excellent Medoc wine tours.

What Kind of Wines are Made in Margaux, France?

The area around Margaux is famous for making dry red wines, some of the best in the Medoc, the Bordeaux region, and France. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are dominating the blend.

Margaux is home to 20 of the Medoc 1855 Grand Cru Classe wineries and other estates, including two exceptional Cru Bourgeois , Chateau D’Arsac and Chateau Paveil de Luze.

Our châteaux and properties

67 wine-growing properties.

The Margaux appellation is an archipelago of properties with great diversity in terms of reputation and size: some estates have less than 1 ha, while others exceed 100 ha.

However, the quest for quality, the passing on of expertise and innovation while respecting traditions and the terroir are common values that run through this diversity. We hope you will have the pleasure of visiting these properties, meeting the winegrowers, and tasting their wines.

T he day took a bit of a wobble at Margaux. Not, you understand, because I’d been sampling some of Bordeaux ’s top-quality tipples after an excellent lunch accompanied by more wine . It was because Margaux village's station was deserted out of season, with train information displayed on screens, and no clue which of the two platforms was which. Trains making the 45-minute journey to Bordeaux city seemed to run at different times from both platforms.

I had to chance it; I doubted I’d have time to cross the open tracks once the train arrived. Luckily, I guessed correctly and chugged on with my discovery of Bordeaux by public transport .

Most people don’t realise the extent of France ’s wine producing region. It would take you two and a half hours to drive the 99 miles from its northernmost to southernmost extremities. No wonder those taking a vineyard tour generally drive or go on group trips. There is, however, another way – to visit the vineyards by trains, bus and tram. And aside from the slight hiccup I experienced at Margaux, I found it surprisingly easy.

One vineyard, Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion, is even within the sprawling city’s limits and can be reached by Bordeaux’s extensive tram network. What’s more, it’s designed by Philippe Starck, resembling the bow of a boat from the outside, while within the concrete wine vats are painted in different designs. (Tour with tasting costs €55).

It’s in complete contrast to the historic Chateau Pape Clement, a 25-minute bus journey away, or a 40-minute bus and train trip from the city centre. Vines were originally planted here in the 13th century by Bertrand de Got, who became Pope Clement V. Now, the grand cru classe wines lie maturing in an enormous barrel-filled room lit by chandeliers.

You can make your own version in the 19th-century chateau in a process reminiscent of a school chemistry lesson, as you experiment with different ratios of merlot to cab sav. Once I had my winning formula, I bottled it, added a cork and foil and embellished the label: Chateau Jane. (Tour with tasting costs €20, a winemaker course costs €99).

Another day, another vineyard or three, this time in the Medoc with its famous Margaux appellation. The village of Margaux isn’t the most appealing, but you’re there for the vino, and that doesn’t disappoint. I started with the biodynamic wine at Chateau Ferriere, made to beyond-organic principles and according to the cycle of the moon; they also make biodynamic tea. (Tour and tasting costs €25).

It’s just a short walk from here to Marquis de Terme, which has an elegantly modern restaurant where I polished off a superb lunch accompanied by their delicious grand cru classe. The tour here is particularly interesting because they have an eye on the future as well as the past and are constantly innovating.

The expansive cellar not only holds rows of barrels in which to age the wine, but also other containers to achieve different finishes – pearl-shaped barrels, egg-shaped concrete vats, pottery amphora and a large wooden barrel connected by wifi to record changes in temperature, pressure and oxygen. I can confirm that the finished product is particularly delicious; I finished off my tasting with rum made in Martinique from the chateau’s barrels. (Tour and three tastings costs €35).

It was at this point that my little incident at the station nearly jeopardised the 20-minute train ride followed by a 20-minute walk to Chateau Saint-Ahon. Reminiscent of buildings in Paris’s Place de Vosges, this small property is extremely family friendly, with walks through the vines interspersed by informative panels. Its wines are a decent price, with the eponymous brand coming in at €14, which you can drink accompanied by a picnic of produce bought in the shop. (Tour and tasting costs €12). Better still, because it’s in Bordeaux metropolis, once back at the station, you can take a tram back to the sprawling city.

Where you stay here depends on whether you want to be near the station in the south (where I picked) or a tram ride from it near the beautiful Place de la Bourse in the centre, with its many restaurants.

Wherever you choose, you shouldn’t go to Bordeaux without seeing the medieval hilltop village of Saint-Emilion, and enjoying some of its vintages. Happily, it’s just a 34-minute train journey away, followed by a 20-minute walk along a vine-fringed road (or an hour-long bus ride without the walk in season). The eponymous eighth-century saint lived in a cave here, which you can still visit along with the catacombs and spectacular monolithic church; Emilion’s presence drew religious communities who were adept at wine making.

They included the monks at the Couvent des Jacobins, whose atmospheric cellars are reached through a small wooden Harry-Potter style door beneath the stairs. Private visits give you time to chill out in the pretty gardens, while tastings of their organic wines are accompanied by cheese, chocolate or St-Emilion’s famous macaroons. (Tour and tasting costs €22).

It's much more touristy up the road at Cloitre de Cordeliers, where you can enjoy a restaurant picnic in the ruins of the cloister and take a mad tuk-tuk tour around the town and through some of the miles of underground tunnels carved out under Saint-Emilion by quarrying. (Tuk-tuk and tasting costs €25.) The ones here are used to store sparkling wine rather than Bordeaux red, but just a five-minute walk away, Chateau Villemaurine uses some of its own network of tunnels to mature its superb grand cru classe. Tours by torchlight head into the silence of the cellars, where bats hang from the ceiling and vine roots work their way through the overhead rock. It would be hard to find a more evocative place to end my trip. (Tour and tasting costs €20).

30 Best Bordeaux Wineries & Famous Vineyards 2024

30 Top Bordeaux Wineries You Can't Miss on Your Next Trip to France

Discover The Best Bordeaux Wineries in 2024, Tours & Wine Tasting Experiences

The Bordeaux wine region is perhaps the most legendary wine-producing area in all of Europe. It’s best known for its medium to full-bodied red wines, luscious botrytis-affected dessert wines , gorgeous scenery, and famous chateaux. But Bordeaux is a vast destination to travel to. With over 38 sub-regions and a vibrant cultural scene in the city of Bordeaux itself, a wine lover could easily spend a month or more and not be done exploring.

At its most basic level, the region of Bordeaux is cut in half by the Garonne River, and wineries on either side are permitted to produce red wine blends consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon , Cabernet Franc , Merlot , Malbec , Carmenere , and Petit Verdot .

On the white wine front, both dry and sweet wines are produced with Sauvignon Blanc , Sauvignon Gris , Semillon and Muscadelle . Colombard and Ugni Blanc can also be found in small quantities at various boutique wineries.

In this travel guide, we’re going to list 30 of our favorite Bordeaux wineries throughout the entirety of the region that are worth visiting. We realize that each Winetraveler has a preference when it comes to wine styles and winery experiences, so we’ll do our best to split this list of wineries into a variety of categories.

Travel Logistics Getting To and Around Bordeaux

As we’ve mentioned, Bordeaux is a big place, so travel logistics are important. The region resides in the southwestern portion of France, north of Spain’s Basque region. While the city itself has its own fairly large airport, it’s often difficult to find direct flights if you’re coming from the United States.

If you’re already in Europe, direct flights can be found from most major European cities. Otherwise, if you’re coming from the US, consider flying into Paris or Madrid and connecting to Bordeaux. You can search for current flight deals and get notified as they arise right here.

Once you’re in the city, we highly recommend spending at least a couple of nights exploring its cobblestone streets, Place de la Bourse, delicious restaurants, wine bars and of course, La Cité du Vin (a new and impressive “wine city” and museum, skip the line with this ticket ).

Stay at the opulent 5-star Intercontinental Bordeaux for luxury digs, a rooftop bar, and a perfect location near the opera house. Or, stay at Hôtel des Quinconces for an equally luxurious experience in the city center but with a more boutique vibe.

Before we dive into the wineries, there are a few more must-do activities while visiting Bordeaux.

Stop at exceptional wine bars like Le Bar à Vin, Tchin Tchin Wine Bar, Julo and Voilà ! Bar à vins du monde .

Experience Bordeaux like never before on this 2-hour electric scooter tour ! With an easy-to-ride and eco-friendly electric scooter, you can cover double the distance in half the time, while exploring the picturesque Garonne riverside and iconic landmarks like Bordeaux Cathedral and Pont de Pierre. Get insider tips from your local guide and capture unforgettable moments at Place des Quinconces and more. Choose from a morning or afternoon tour departure and make the most out of your Bordeaux adventure.

Indulge in the culinary delights of Bordeaux with a 3-hour gourmet food walking tour . Led by a knowledgeable foodie guide, you’ll visit three beloved local shops to sample the staples of French cuisine, including canelés (a Bordeaux pastry), cheese, and charcuterie, accompanied by a glass of wine. Learn about the wine industry and its fascinating history in Bordeaux, and at the end of the tour, head back to a central apartment to enjoy all the delicious specialties you’ve gathered, paired with another glass of wine.

Discover a unique and exciting way to explore Bordeaux with a private motorcycle tour . Hop on the sidecar and take in the breathtaking views while your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating anecdotes about the top landmarks and hidden gems along the way, from Place de la Bourse to Palais Gallien. With hotel pickup included, enjoy a stress-free and personalized experience tailored to your interests. Avoid the hassle of navigating and discover Bordeaux from a perspective rare to visitors.

Alternatively, you can customize a personal and private guided walking tour around the city to all of its major sights and landmarks with our local friend Sophia.

RECOMMENDED: Book These Highly-Rated Bordeaux Wine Tours

Once you’ve spent a few romantic days wandering the city streets and indulging in epic cuisine at restaurants like Restaurant Son’  and Le Petit Atelier des Faures,  rent a car and prepare to explore the countryside. National, Europecar and Hertz all have downtown Bordeaux rental offices. So check rates well ahead of time here and lock up a rental for the duration of your trip.

If you’d prefer not to drive and would like to explore Bordeaux’s wine country in a private, guided fashion, we highly recommend scheduling a day trip with Atlas Bordeaux . You’ll visit some of the most noteworthy wine regions like Medoc, Saint-Emilion, Graves, Sauternes, or Pessac-Leognan. Group tours to regions like Saint-Emilion are also available. One other fun way to explore the countryside is by bike .

Did You Know?

Bordeaux, acclaimed for its viticultural prestige, also shines as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its remarkable urban harmony and architectural unity. The city’s enlisting under this prestigious designation is credited to its expansive quays along the Garonne River, the imposing Place de la Bourse, and the grandeur of the Port of the Moon—an elegant urban and architectural ensemble that dates back to the Enlightenment period. For wine enthusiasts venturing into this region, there’s an intriguing slice of lesser-known history; the city’s wine trade expansion in the 18th century directly influenced its urban plan and development. Exploring Bordeaux reveals hidden gems like the historic wine merchants’ district, Chartrons, where cobbled streets whisper tales of wine barrels rolled out for international shipment. Bordeaux’s contribution to the world of oenology is also reflected in its innovative La Cité d u Vin , a cultural facility that offers a multisensory journey through the world of wine across various cultures and civilizations. This contemporary museum, shaped like a swirling glass of wine, not only symbolizes the city’s rich wine heritage but also offers an avant-garde edge to the classic wine country tour.

Bordeaux wine tour by bike

As we just mentioned, some Winetravelers may prefer to visit the Bordeaux wine region in a guided fashion. If that’s what you’re looking to do, we highly recommend scheduling a full-day private trip with Atlas Bordeaux . Below, you’ll get a taste of what some of your travel options are in the region, so you’ll be better prepared to craft the perfect trip. Atlas will help you do that and more.

Decide on the region (or multiple regions) you’d like to visit most. Typically, most of our readers are interested in visiting Medoc, Margaux, Saint-Emilion, Graves, Sauternes, or Pessac-Leognan. You can even request some of the wineries we mention in this list that you’d like to visit. They will then design a custom, all-inclusive itinerary for you. Typically, your full-day experience is complete with transportation, lunch, and private wine tastings. You can opt for family-operated establishments, or arrange for a Michelin-star restaurant on your itinerary. It’s completely up to you.

Where to start? We recommend you take a few moments to think about the kind of experience you want to get out of your visit to Bordeaux. Are you looking to visit some of the most famous chateaus? Do you prefer more boutique wineries? Are you looking to travel at a leisurely pace and get lost in the region? Are you looking for wineries with views or lodging? Luckily, we’ve covered a bit of everything in this list. The first wineries we mention here include accommodation if you’re looking to stay on a vineyard. 

Winery/Hotel Combinations

Château pape clément.

Location: Pessac Leognan

Why Guests Like It: Luxury, Castle/Chateau Experience, History, Great Service, Beautiful Grounds, Restaurant, Elegant

A visit to Chateau Pape Clement is worthwhile simply for the wine alone, however, it’s also one of the most memorable hotel experiences you’ll likely have in France. During one of our recent 2-night stays, we had the opportunity to dine in the incredibly well-maintained gardens, with over 60 acres of vines planted in the distance. The rooms feel historic and ornate, exhibiting a vibe of elegance we have yet to experience at any other winery hotel in France.

Without going into too much detail (we’ll let the staff at the chateau do that for you), wine production dates back to the 1200s. The property was also once owned by a pope, hence its name. If you’re looking to stay on a vineyard at one famous winery in Bordeaux, this is your opportunity. Book a stay for your preferred dates right here.

La Maison d’Estournel

Location: Saint-Estèphe

Why Guests Like It: Location, Great For Couples, Exceptional Food (Custom Even), Great Service, Fabulous Grounds, Luxurious Rooms

For a truly “French” experience, consider staying and dining at the sumptuous La Maison d’Estournel . Here, the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. One day for lunch, they were kind enough to set our table up outside in the gardens on request. With a sommelier on hand to answer any of your Bordeaux wine questions, combined with a menu that changes daily and a chef willing to tailor a meal to your preferences, you really can’t go wrong. 

Location-wise, La Maison d’Estournel is just minutes away from many of the famous Bordeaux wineries we discuss a little later on in this guide, including Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Mouton Rothschild.

Hôtel & Restaurant LALIQUE – Château Lafaurie Peyraguey

Location: Sauternes (Bommes)

Why Guests Like It: Modern, Luxurious, Exceptional Restaurant, Service, Location

An often-overlooked travel experience in Bordeaux is a stop in Sauternes. This is where some of the most delicious and meticulously crafted sweet white wines are made, better than anywhere else in the world. Château Lafaurie Peyraguey’s new opulent Hôtel & Restaurant LALIQUE exudes luxury. It’s the perfect stop for couples looking for upscale amenities, cuisine and modern, chic luxurious rooms. Better still, you’re in close proximity to a number of our favorite wineries in the Sauternes region. From the restaurant’s floor-to-cieling glass windows, you can gaze out at the vineyards of Chateau Sigalas-Rabaud. In the other direction, you can see Chateau d’Yquem in the distance. Stay here .

Best Bordeaux Vineyards and Wineries To Visit in France

Château Sigalas-Rabaud

Why Guests Like It: Luxurious, Exceptional Service, Great Wine Produced on the Property, Beautiful Views and Grounds

Literally right next door to LALIQUE, consider staying at Chateau Sigalas-Rabaud for a true French vineyard resort experience. This is a family-run operation and Laure and her team are guaranteed to make you feel welcome. We had the pleasure of walking with her through the vineyards while she discussed the production process of their famous botrytis sweet wines. Then, we continued on through the vines on foot to visit both Chateau Rayne-Vigneau and Château Lafaurie Peyraguey. You’re also in close proximity to wineries like Clos Haut-Peyraguey and Chateau d’Yquem, which are must-visits. If you book a trip , tell her we sent you.

Domaine du Papillon

Location: Medoc

Why Guests Like It: Peaceful, Removed, Family-Operated, Swimming Pool, Great Breakfast

If you’re looking to stay in a slightly more affordable hotel in the Medoc region, Domaine du Papillon provides a great base and welcoming hosts. Christoph and Sabine go out of their way to make sure all their guests are content with their stay. There’s even a chance they’ll have breakfast with you and give you advice on the best places to taste wine while you’re in the area. While not a winery itself, this hotel has spacious grounds that are perfect for lounging and taking your visit to Bordeaux at a slower pace. You’re also only a short distance from a number of wineries in the Medoc.

Château Borgeat de Lagrange

Why Guests Like It: Castle-like Setting, Great Service, Beautiful Grounds

Location: Blaye

Up until now, all of the winery/hotel combinations we’ve mentioned have been on the left bank of the Garonne. Château Borgeat de Lagrange will take you a little further south in Bordeaux and place you not far from the right bank of the river. That means more of the wines over here will be Merlot dominant. Consider a stay at Château Borgeat de Lagrange for peaceful and beautiful surroundings, a swimming pool, a historic building and a great jump-off point to visit a number of Right Bank wineries. Here, you’ll feel like you’re taking a step back in time.

Le Pain De Lune

Why Guests Like It: Boutique, Excellent Service, Beautiful Grounds, Location

Location: Bourg

For a more relaxed, boutique accommodation, consider staying at Le Pain De Lune . This is a smaller villa, yet gorgeous and well-maintained both externally and internally. It’s also right on the right bank of the Dordogne River, where the Garonne splits. What we tend to hear from our readers most about this place is the service. If you’re looking for advice about the best things to do in Bordeaux, don’t be shy to speak with your host, Philippe.

Famous Bordeaux Vineyards & Château To Visit

Château haut-brion.

Location: Pessac

Why Guests Like It: Location, Historic, Great Wine

Chateau Haut-Brion is not only one of the most famous and oldest wineries in Bordeaux, it’s also conveniently located near the city of Bordeaux. That being said, it makes for an ideal stop if you’re staying in the city. In terms of what you can expect when you visit the winery, the staff are incredibly friendly, the grounds are stunning, and most guests are incredibly pleased with the tours they offer. While this is a first-growth winery, we found that the staff didn’t make it seem so and were incredibly humble. If you’re lucky, you may get to taste some of the legendary ’09 or ’10 vintages.

Visits to Haut-Brion are difficult to attain, but you can request a potential experience if you complete their requested form. It helps if you work in the wine industry and it helps more if you request the visit well in advance.

Château Giscours

Location: Margaux

Why Guests Like It: Impressive Vineyards & Facilities, Affordable & Informative Tours, Delicious Wine

This winery maintains one of the largest vineyard areas in the Margaux sub-region of Bordeaux. Their wines are world-famous, and there’s a good chance whether you’re a novice wine drinker or an expert that you’ve seen various vintages on wine shop shelves. This is a beautiful property to visit. An opportunity to taste the essence of Margaux within a castle, along with an informative tour. We only paid 12 euros and had a very nice experience. Email or call them at +33 (0)5 57 97 09 09 and [email protected] to schedule a visit.

Château Margaux

Why Guests Like It: Historic, Delicious Wine, Impressive Castle/Vineyards, Great Service, Luxurious

There’s a reason why Chateau Margaux remains one of the most famous wineries in the world. A visit to their property will quickly tell you that they must have been doing something right all of these years. Our readers frequently claim that some of the vintages sampled at Margaux are “the best glasses of wine we’ve ever had.” That’s assuming you’re into big-bodied and luscious Cabernet-dominant reds, of course. This winery simply cannot be missed. And while it’s clearly a large, somewhat corporate operation, the grounds and facilities are nothing short of breathtaking. The guides who take you through the facilities are also clearly passionate about the work they do here, and you’ll have a great time. Visits to Chateau Margaux are strictly by appointment only and can be difficult to schedule. It’s best to call them directly and see what your options are: +33 (0) 5 57 88 83 83.

Château Latour

Location: Pauillac

Why Guests Like It: Beautiful Grounds, Hospitable, Great Wines, Service, Restaurant

For such a famous producer, we didn’t feel like we were visiting some sort of corporate operation. Clearly, the winery has been successful, but the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. The wines are also top-notch. If you’re able to sneak in for a visit to the property, it’s open Monday through Friday. Unfortunately, due to COVID they’ve been a bit more restrictive as to who may be able to visit. It’s open for tours and tastings geared towards professionals within the wine industry currently, but you may be able to schedule a visit by calling them at +33 5 56 73 19 80.

Château Mouton Rothschild

Why Guests Like It: Historic, Fantastic Wine, Opulent Property, Great Service, Museum

Another one of the most famous Château on Bordeaux’s left bank, Mouton Rothschild is another first-growth that has been crafting delectable juice since 1853 (though it was only elevated to first growth in 1973). As you might expect, the grounds and facilities here are impressive, as is the quality of service. However, it’s worth noting that this winery has only recently started providing tours again due to COVID. You may be able to schedule a visit by appointment only, call +33 (0)5 56 73 21 29 to inquire.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Why Guests Like It: Castle Vibes, Beautiful Grounds and Vineyards, Exceptional Red Wines

Everything from the vast circular barrel room, the tasting areas, to the gardens, vineyards and castle itself is impressive at Château Lafite Rothschild. Located just north of Mouton, it’s worth a stop here if you’re planning on touring Pauillac. Unfortunately, this is another producer that has been pretty restrictive with visits due to the current COVID situation. Tastings and tours are by appointment only, +33 (0) 1 53 89 78 00.

Best Bordeaux Vineyards and Wineries to Visit

Château Cheval Blanc

Location: Saint Emilion

Why Guests Like It: Exceptional Wine, Historic, Rooftop Wine Tastings, Beautiful Grounds

We aren’t going to get your hopes up for visiting Cheval Blanc. It’s entirely possible, but wine tourism is something they currently are not promoting to the public. Cheval Blanc is now currently owned by LVMH (Moet Hennessy), and its primary focus is production and distribution. If you’re an industry professional, you can expect a guided tour through their vineyards, facilities and cellar, topped off with a tasting experience on the rooftop of the chateau that overlooks Pomerol and Saint Emilion. 

Famous Bordeaux Chateau, Wineries and Vineyards to Visit: Chateau d'Yquem

Chateau d’Yquem

Location: Sauternes

Why Guests Like It: Historic, Beautiful Grounds, Incredible Sweet Wine

Arguably one of the most famous Chateau in all of Bordeaux, d’Yquem produces some of the most sought-after sweet white wines in the world (unfortified). The property is vast, and somewhat removed from other producers in the area. You can actually see the towering estate from miles away. We remember briefly stopping in Saint-Croix-du-Mont (another sweet sub-region) to explore the terroir there, and in the distance, we could see d’Yquem standing high above the landscape. If you step into the main lobby of the winery, it makes all of the other nearby producers seem tiny.

Luckily for Winetravelers, Chateau d’Yquem is open to the public for visitation. However, appointments are required and visits are private. Be sure to book your visit well in advance .

RELATED: How To Explore The Alsace Wine Route

Château Petrus

Location: Pomerol

Why Guests Like It: Legendary Wines

Some of the most sought-after red wines in the world reside under the label of Chateau Petrus. We’re only mentioning it here because they are so famous, but it’s unlikely you’ll ever get to experience a visit to the facility in Pomerol. These days, Petrus focuses exclusively on production, not visitation. Visitors are only allowed on the property if they receive an exclusive invitation, and it’s almost always for those within the wine or hospitality industries.

Are there more famous Bordeaux wineries worth mentioning? Absolutely. Unfortunately, the way it currently works in Bordeaux (and especially with the ongoing COVID situation), the more famous the winery, the more difficult it is to get a visit. Should more legendary first-growths open up their doors to visitors, we’ll add them to this list. In the meantime, we’ll continue on with more exceptional Bordeaux wineries that are currently open to the public.

When it comes to the scenery in Bordeaux, you’re pretty much going to find it everywhere. That being said, this is a tough list to narrow down, so we’ve included Bordeaux wineries that have exceeded our personal expectations both in terms of views and the service provided.

Château Marquis

Why Guests Like It: Rent a Bike, Boutique, Great Service, Great Wines, Affordable, Beautiful Scenery

Located in Margaux, and not far from the famed Chateau Margaux, this more humble property is geared towards the wine tourist more than most in Bordeaux. Not only is the wine great and the surrounding vineyards beautiful, it’s one of the few wineries in Bordeaux that you can also rent a bike and explore the surrounding countryside. Definitely worth a stop, and the staff are happy to give you recommendations for additional things to do in the region.

Château Lamothe Bergeron

Why Guests Like It: Beautiful Property, Newly Restored Tasting Room, Immersive Tourism Experience

The vibe and setting outdoors at Château Lamothe Bergeron makes you feel as though you’re at some 18th-century outdoor French gala. When you make your way inside, you’ll feel almost exactly the opposite. This chateau went above and beyond to provide a high-tech wine tourism experience to its guests. The building has been almost completely restored recently, the tasting room is beautiful, and the tour and tasting options allow for an immersive experience. You’ll have the opportunity to taste the wines in their various developmental stages. This is also an ideal winery if you’re not looking to spend much money, as their most basic tasting starts at just 8 euros.

This is one of the few wineries in Bordeaux that (at least currently), doesn’t require reservations. You can visit from April to October: 7 days a week, from 10 am to 6 pm – from November to March: Mondays to Fridays from 9:30 am to 5.30 pm.

Marquis de Vauban Castle

Why Guests Like It: Caters To Tourists, Horse-Drawn Carriage, Beautiful Property, Great Service, Lunch, Camping, Beautiful Views, Family Friendly

Unlike many Bordeaux producers who shy away from wine tourism and prefer to focus on wine production, Marquis de Vauban Castle provides an ample range of tasting and tour options to guests. You can choose to take a horse-drawn carriage ride around the property, take a little train ride if you have kids in tow, take an underground passage tour beneath the citadel of Blaye, or have a romantic lunch with your significant other overlooking the grounds. This property also supports motorhomes if you’re cruising around Bordeaux and provides electrical hook-up.

Château Prieuré Lichine

Why Guests Like It: Informative Tours, Beautiful Property, Great Service

For those looking for a detailed and personal tour of a lovely estate in the Margaux region, Château Prieuré Lichine is worth a stop. You’ll take a walk through the lovely courtyard, visit the wine cellar and production facilities, and learn about some unique and modern production techniques being implemented. Our tour guide Sarah also gave us background on the Margaux region itself, diving deep into the regulations and wine-making techniques of the area. The tasting room is also remarkably beautiful, and you’ll likely spend an hour or two relaxing or walking the grounds.

Château Castera

Location: Saint-Germain-d’Esteuil

Why Guests Like It: Great Value, Great Wines, Beautiful Property, History, Great Service

One of the few luxurious wineries perhaps in all of Bordeaux where you can get an informative tour and tasting for as little as 6 euros. As you’re guided through the property and production facilities, you’ll hear the passion in the guide’s voice. This is another castle-like setting, and the operation is run by a relatively young and enthusiastic team. Our favorite part about the visit is the escape game they offer from the top of the castle tower. Certainly a unique experience and an indication that guests having a memorable experience is important at Château Castera .

Château Dauzac

Location: Labarde

Why Guests Like It: Great Service, Beautiful Grounds, Welcoming Staff, Great Wines

This is a great winery to visit that’s a bit removed from many of the more popular wineries in the area. The property is sprawling, offering opportunities to buy a bottle and post up to have a little picnic of your own. If you choose to do a tour at Dauzac , they tend to be small and personalized. It begins in the vineyards, then you’ll be walked through the production facilities, the wine cellar and finally get to relax in the tasting room.

Chateau Rayne-Vigneau

Why Guests Like It: Stunning Property, Great Wines, Warm Staff, Sensory Experiences

Boutique/Family Wineries & Intimate Tours and Tastings

Château moutte blanc.

Location: Macau

Why Guests Like It: Boutique, Family Operated, Warm Staff, Great Quality Wines, Petit Verdot

Moutte Blanc focuses on the Petit Verdot variety. A grape that is typically used in smaller quantities in Bordeaux blends, so sampling wines from this producer will undoubtedly provide a unique experience. A small, yet pretty castle-like setting, Château Moutte Blanc is one of those family-run wineries that will likely to give you a warm welcome should you knock on their door. To be safe, we don’t recommend that and suggest you make an appointment: +05 57 88 40 39.

Vignobles Noailles

Location: Côtes de Bourg

Why Guests Like It: Family Operated, Warm Staff, Great Wines

This boutique, family-run estate will leave you humbled. Escape the typical large estates of Bordeaux and visit this quaint house and vineyard located in Teuillac, Côtes de Bourg. What’s encouraging about Vignobles Noailles is that many of our friends who are tour operators in the region bring their guests to this winery because they know just how good the wine is and how special the experience is. Both individual and group visitation experiences are offered, and typically include walks through the vineyard, a cellar visit, and a tasting afterword. To schedule a visit, call +33 (0) 6 16 06 08 48 or email [email protected] .

Boutique and Intimate Wine Tastings in Bordeaux France

Château d’Arcins

Why Guests Like It: Historic, Personal Attention, Great Wines

It’s well worth a stop at Chateau d’Arcins for their wines and history alone, but it makes even more sense to stop here since it’s practically across the street from Chateau Arnauld. For us, the coolest thing about Chateau d’Arcins is that they’ve been producing wine since the 14th century. It’s argued that they’re the oldest estate in Haut-Medoc. What’s even more interesting, supposedly wines were crafted here at the command of the notorious Knights Templar. Call them to reserve a visit at +05 56 58 91 29.

Château Hourtin-Ducasse

Why Guests Like It: Friendly Staff, Great Tours, Beautiful Grounds, Boutique, Great Wines

We love visiting Château Hourtin-Ducasse thanks to the amicable hospitality of owners Michel and Maria. Taste wines alongside the winemaker himself, and straight from the barrel. They’ll take the time to get to know you here, just as much as you’ll be eager to get to know them. This is one winery where while we always recommend scheduling an appointment ahead of time, if you knock on the door they’ll likely let you in and give you all of their attention. Truly passionate about their work, Château Hourtin-Ducasse is one winery we hear again and again from our readers that they will be returning to.

Château Nodot

Why Guests Like It: Museum, Biodynamic, Great Wines, Affordable, Friendly Staff

The staff at Chateau Nodot go above and beyond to welcome their guests to their winery. What’s more, this is one winery that prides itself on being biodynamic . If you’re looking for a somewhat removed, authentic, boutique and focused wine tourism experience in Bordeaux, stop by Nodot. This is an area that’s not very sought out as a tourist destination, so you can expect more personal attention and we believe you’ll be impressed with the quality of wine production in the area as well. Contact them ahead of time at: +05 57 42 50 38

Château des Tourtes

Why Guests Like It: Family Friendly, Warm Staff, Beautiful Setting, Boutique, Great Wines, Bike Rentals

There are few things not to like about visiting Château des Tourtes . For starters, their most basic tour and tasting (of 5 wines might we add), is free. You can upgrade your tour to include small bites for just 6 euros. If you’re hungry, schedule a lunch or dinner (35 euros) while watching a movie that discusses the history of Bordeaux. Lastly, they also offer a guided tour with a the winemaker or one of their sommeliers, which includes a workshop on blending wine (40 euros).

Le Cite du Vin: Best Things To Do in Bordeaux

Unique Experiences, Festivals & Museums

Depending on the season, Bordeaux offers a number of special experiences travelers can partake in. These range from harvest festivals, grape stomping, cave tours and beyond. Below, we’ll list a few of our favorites and when they typically take place, and how you can take part.

Visit La Cite du Vin for a completely immersive museum experience into everything wine. The architecture of the facility is remarkable, but there are also a plethora of interactive, family-friendly experiences designed to utilize all of your senses to really get to know wine and wine production. There is a restaurant on-site also, but it closes by 4 so plan to have lunch if you’re looking to spend the day here.  Book your entry ticket here .

La Fête du Vin , or the annual Bordeaux wine festival offers a number of special events, experiences and shows over a 4 day period in June.

Embark on a running and drinking marathon (literally) during Marathon du Médoc. During this unique event, you’ll literally be running winery to winery tasting some of the finest wines on a pre-determined route. Check if you can register for the next marathon or get on the waiting list here .

The Bordeaux River Festival, or the Fête du Fleuve is one of our favorites. Also typically occurring in June every other year, local gastronomic-focused businesses showcase their craft to locals and tourists alike. This is a great way to immerse yourself in Bordeaux food culture right on the banks of the Garonne River.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bordeaux Wineries & Bordeaux Wine Tours

Can i do a bordeaux wine tour.

Absolutely! Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions and offers a wide variety of wine tours for all tastes and budgets. These tours can range from half-day to multiple-day excursions, offering you the chance to visit prestigious wine chateaux, learn about the winemaking process, and taste some of the world’s finest wines. Currently, our most popular, private and customizable tour of Bordeaux is offered by Atlas Bordeaux . Another popular and fun way to experience Bordeaux’s Saint-Émilion subregion is to do it on an e-Bike tour , allowing you to get outdoors, stop at vineyards along beautiful paths, with lunch included. Most tours will take you through the iconic vineyards of Médoc, Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, or Sauternes, among others, where you can explore the picturesque landscapes and historic vineyards that have made Bordeaux wines famous. Some tours also offer gourmet meals, cheese and wine pairings, or combine wine tasting with other local attractions. Remember to book in advance, particularly during the high season, to secure your spot and avoid disappointment. Also, be sure to check whether your tour includes transportation, as drinking and driving is not only dangerous but also strictly regulated in France.

When should I visit Bordeaux wineries?

If you’re interested in the winemaking process, consider visiting during the harvest season, which typically occurs from mid-September to early October . During this time, you can witness the vineyards in full activity. However, for the best weather and to enjoy the beauty of the vineyards, late spring (May and June) and early autumn (September and October) are generally the most pleasant times to visit. The weather is usually mild and the vineyards are picturesque. Summer is the most popular, and it’s also beautiful. You can’t really go wrong with a visit to Bordeaux during any season. Even during winter, you might get a more personalized visitation experience due to fewer crowds and a chance to meet the winemaker. Bordeaux wineries are generally open for this year-round. However, it’s always a good idea to check in advance, as some smaller vineyards may have limited visiting hours during the off-season or may require an appointment.

What’s the best way to get around Bordeaux?

Bordeaux is well-equipped with various transportation modes for convenience. The city’s public transportation system, which includes trams, buses, and river shuttles, is efficient and connects key parts of the city, making it easy for tourists to navigate. For those who prefer a more active means of transport, Bordeaux is one of France’s most bike-friendly cities, featuring an extensive network of bike lanes. You can rent a bike through the city’s bike-sharing program, VCub. If you plan to explore the wider Bordeaux region, including the vineyards, you may find renting a car to be the most practical option. Be mindful of the local driving rules and parking regulations. Lastly, for shorter distances within the city center, walking is often a great choice, as Bordeaux boasts a compact and pedestrian-friendly city center.

What are the must try wines and wine styles in Bordeaux?

To start, you must try the Bordeaux Reds, primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Left Bank wines, hailing from regions like Médoc and Graves, are Cabernet-dominant, delivering robust, tannic wines that age gracefully. They are well-structured, exuding deep fruit flavors with hints of spice and earth. On the Right Bank, regions like Saint-Émilion and Pomerol offer Merlot-dominant wines. These are generally softer and more plush, with a generous fruit character and subtle notes of herbs and spices. The contrast between Left and Right Bank wines showcases the versatility and complexity of Bordeaux’s reds. For white wine lovers, Bordeaux doesn’t disappoint. Don’t miss out on the dry white wines, primarily produced from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon in regions like Graves and Pessac-Léognan. These wines balance refreshing acidity with a broad, rich texture, often layered with flavors of citrus, tropical fruits, and a delicate minerality. Lastly, a visit to Bordeaux isn’t complete without tasting the world-renowned sweet wines of Sauternes. Made predominantly from Sémillon grapes affected by noble rot, these wines are intensely flavorful and lusciously sweet, yet perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. Winetraveler Tip: Noble rot wines are some of the most unique and exceptional wines on the planet with amazing age-ability. If you can find a sushi restaurant that serves Sauternes or other sweet Bordeaux regional wines, try a sushi and wine pairing with them, we promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Château Margaux

The Drinks Business

‘quintessential’ margaux released at 30% reduction on last year’s release.

Château Margaux has released the 2023 vintage this morning at a 30.2% reduction on last year’s opening price, leading the day’s releases. 

chateau margaux tour

It has been released at €360 per bottle ex-négociant, down from €516 per bottle for the 2022 opening price a year ago and is also available at £4,320 per case of  12, down from £6,192 for the 2022 last year. The latest release is therefore one of the least expensive vintages of the past decade available on the market, which Liv-ex noted offered “reasonable value” if people can secure an allocation. Wine Lister noted that only the lower-scoring 2017 and 2014 were less expensive, and this was likely to encourage demand, particularly given “its powerhouse brand and strong quality in 2023”.

Critics widely applauded the wines with db’s Bordeaux correspondent Colin Hay calling it “the star of the show – a clear potential candidate for the wine of the entire left-bank”, “sublime, graceful and elegant”, while Neal Martin of Vinous called the 2023 a “quintessential Margaux”, also awarding it 97-99 points.

Meanwhile, the estate’s second wine, Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux 2023, was also released this morning, at €120 per bottle ex-négociant, a 20% reduction on the 2022 release. It is being offered by the international trade for £1,440 per case of 12, down from £1,800 a case for last year’s release. However, as Liv-ex noted that several back-vintages provided better value, notably the 2019 vintage.

The estate’s white wine, Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux 2023 was also released at £2,880 per case of 12, marking a 9.4% decrease on the 2022’s opening price.

Margaux’s release price joins another round of estates who have listened to the market’s demands for hefty reductions on the 2022 pricing. For example yesterday saw the release of Château Rauzan-Ségla 2023 at €60 per bottle ex-négociant, down 28.6% on the 2022 opening price, Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion at €76.8 per bottle ex-négociant, another 28.9% on the 2022 opening price. Château Canon 2023 also hit the market at €90 per bottle ex-négociant, down 25.0% on the 2022 opening price, along with  Château Calon Ségur 2023, released at €78 per bottle ex-négociant, a 23.5% decrease on the 2022 release (€102).

Bucking this trend however was  Château Gruaud Larose, whose 2023 vintage was released this morning at €60 per bottle ex-négociant, down 13.8% on the 2022 opening price.
