Experience Details

Drive the Bordeaux Right Bank yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole region in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point, Saint-Émilion, Libourne or Bordeaux, choose the châteaux you want from the 36 mapped across Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Lalande-de-Pomerol and Fronsac, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. Narrated stories cover the people and the ground: you'll hear why the Jurisdiction became the first vineyard landscape UNESCO ever listed, how the Jurade got its charter from King John in 1199, what blue clay does for Pétrus, and how a garagiste with a 0.6-hectare plot outscored it in 1995. No group, no schedule, no guide; pause for a long lunch in the village, replay anything, and the audio keeps working when the signal drops, because everything downloads offline. You'll need a car and a designated driver; château visits are booked and paid directly with the estates.
