Wine tour packages in France: Bordeaux & beyond 🍷🇫🇷

France is a dream destination for wine lovers – but planning several regions, winery appointments and logistics on your own can quickly become a full‑time job. Ophorus designs wine tour packages in France that bundle vineyards, villages, guiding and transport into multi‑day itineraries, from Bordeaux to Alsace, Burgundy, Champagne and the Loire.

🍇 What is a wine tour package with Ophorus?

An Ophorus wine package is a 4–12 day itinerary built around the great French appellations, typically including:

• Central or characterful hotels in wine towns and cities
• Daily winery visits and tastings, pre‑booked for you
• Transport with our own driver‑guides or local wine experts
• Guided walks in nearby villages and historic centres
• Free time to enjoy restaurants, wine bars and markets at your own pace

You focus on discovering wines and places; we take care of the bookings, timing and routes.

🍷 Bordeaux wine tour packages: Médoc, Saint‑Émilion & beyond

As Bordeaux specialists, many of our most popular wine tour packages are based here.

Typical Bordeaux wine packages include:

• Médoc – famous left‑bank estates and châteaux along the “Route des Châteaux”
• Saint‑Émilion – UNESCO‑listed village, underground monuments and surrounding vineyards
• Graves & Sauternes – classic reds and sweet whites, often combined with food experiences
• Optional days in Bordeaux city and nearby Dordogne for markets, medieval towns and river valleys

These can be designed as:

• Small‑group Bordeaux wine packages – fixed dates, max 8 guests, shared minivan and group tastings
• Private Bordeaux wine packages – tailored estate selection, pacing and hotel level for your party only

We work with a range of châteaux and tasting rooms, from family properties to prestigious estates, depending on availability and your interests.

🍾 Other wine regions: Alsace, Burgundy, Champagne & LoireBeyond Bordeaux, Ophorus also offers or designs wine‑focused multi‑day stays in:

• Alsace – Grands Crus, charming villages along the Alsace Wine Route, and Franco‑German heritage
• Burgundy – Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune grands crus around Dijon and Beaune
• Champagne – Reims and Épernay, house visits and tastings
• Loire Valley – Vouvray, Chinon and Bourgueil vineyards combined with château visits

These wine packages may be:

• Stand‑alone 4–5 day stays in one region (for example Alsace based in Strasbourg/Colmar, Burgundy based in Dijon/Beaune)
• Part of longer multi‑regional itineraries that connect wine regions with Paris, Normandy or the Riviera

👥 Small‑group vs private wine packagesWe typically offer two formats:

• Small‑group wine packages
  – Fixed itineraries and departure dates
  – Shared tastings and visits, max 8 guests for comfort
  – Ideal for solo travelers and couples who enjoy meeting other wine lovers
• Private wine packages
  – Tailor‑made routes and estate selection
  – Flexible timing, with options to add food experiences, walks or cultural visits
  – Ideal for friends, couples and families with older children or teens

Children are generally not accepted on shared wine tours; private packages can sometimes be adapted for families with minors, focusing more on scenery and villages than on tastings.

🧠 Why choose a wine package instead of separate days?

• Better structure and pacing – visits are spaced sensibly with time to enjoy lunches, markets and strolls
• Coherent story – guides can build a narrative over several days (terroir, styles, appellations) instead of one‑off tastings
• Reliable winery access – we pre‑book visits that match your profile and time of year
• Clear budget – accommodation, transport and most visits are bundled, so overall cost is easier to understand
