GROUP Wine Tours

Château Margaux located on the Left Bank of Bordeaux is one of five first-growth estates in France’s prized Medoc region. Considered the top of its class since 1855 (and even earlier — more on that later), Margaux has captured the hearts and dollars of wine collectors for centuries.

Its history dates back to the fourteenth century but it is the past 30 years that are helping Château Smith Haut Lafitte make a lasting impression. Roaming the vineyards are shire horses ploughing land surrounded by woodland, orchards and beehives.

A private tour of the cellars will lead you 18 metres underground via a spiral staircase. Walking through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll see graffiti left along the walls by the soldiers and refugees who sought shelter there during the First World War.
