Bonjour Courtney,
We appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry if any aspect of the tour did not meet your expectations. I'd like to clarify that while the Médoc region is indeed not immediately next to Bordeaux, the first château you visited is typically only about 50 minutes to an hour from our departure point, making it relatively accessible for a day trip.
Regarding the lunch in Pauillac, it's true that Pauillac is a smaller town with limited activities. However, it is important to us to provide an authentic experience of the Médoc, which is primarily known for its vineyards and scenic beauty. Our goal is to showcase all aspects of the Médoc, including its tranquil and more rural charm, which we believe is part of its appeal.
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope this explanation helps to provide some context about the structure of our tour and the regions visited.
We are committed to ensuring our guests have a memorable and enjoyable experience exploring the wine country.
Best,
Kevin from Ophorus Team
