Bordeaux: Airport Transfers & Wine Tour Experiences

Bordeaux is best explored on foot, but its vineyards are best discovered by car. Saint-Émilion, Médoc, Pessac-Léognan: the greatest estates are less than an hour from the centre.

Mérignac Airport is only 12 km away — providing one of the fastest city centre connections in France.

Mérignac – Bordeaux City Centre

15 to 25 minutes to the Quinconces or Saint-Jean station. The ring road is the only bottleneck, usually between 8 am and 9:30 am.

Saint-Émilion: 45 minutes. Pauillac (Médoc): 1 hour. Arcachon and the Dune of Pilat: 1 hour.

For a day visiting the châteaux, a chauffeur at your disposal allows you to enjoy tastings without driving — our most popular service here.
