Tours in Avensan
In Avensan, we welcome you to our Accueil Vélo estate to discover the vineyard and its wines in three formats, by reservation.
The essentials
To choose an experience in the Médoc, start from the time you have and what you fancy: a tour, something gourmet, or a ride. A wine tourism tour links the vines, the winemaking and the tasting in one to two hours. At Château Meyre, every departure needs to be booked in advance.
From landscape to tasting
If you are looking for things to do in the Médoc that go beyond a simple tasting, our tour at Château Meyre gives the wine a common thread. It starts among the vines, passes through the vat room and puts back in order the maceration, fermentation, pressing, fining, temperature control and the choice of barrels.
The estate covers 12 hectares split between Haut-Médoc and Margaux. The tasting therefore sets side by side Château Meyre AOC Haut-Médoc, Cru Bourgeois Supérieur since 2020, and Gallen de Château Meyre AOC Margaux. The Meyre sauvignon blanc completes the tasting on the Discovery Tour.
This reading of the vineyard rests on documented soils of Quaternary gravel, sand, silt and veins of clay. In the glass, you find two appellations from the same estate, with the landscape never separated from the winemaking choices.
Three ways to spend your time
The content changes with more than the length of the visit. The two one-hour tours offer either a discovery or a gourmet pairing, while the two hours by bike leave more room for movement and independence.
1h
A personalised tour takes you from the vines to the vat room, explains the stages of winemaking and ends with the three wines presented by the estate.
1h
After the vines and the cellars, three wines come with a platter of charcuterie and cheeses and a confit made from the estate's grapes.
2h
You ride at your own pace through the vineyard, and the outing ends with a guided tasting when you return. The Accueil Vélo label documents this welcome.
To find out the price of a wine tasting, ask our reception team for the rate of the format you have chosen. No amount is published for these three experiences.
Where to meet us
Château Meyre is at 16 Route de Castelnau, 33480 Avensan, in Gironde. The estate is in the Médoc, and all three experiences begin on site. To the question "do I need to book a tasting?" our answer is clear: yes, whichever format you choose, the request must be made before your stay.
The vineyard and our four-star hotel of nine rooms share the same address. You can sleep at the estate rather than nearby, then walk to your activity without changing location. This dual role, hotel and vineyard, gives your wine tourism stay its continuity.
The published landmarks place the estate 30 minutes from Bordeaux-Mérignac airport and 45 minutes from Saint-Jean station. If you are arriving from elsewhere in the Médoc, ask our reception team for the information you need on 05 56 58 22 84.
Before you come
The length, the content and how independent you want to be will guide your choice. These answers gather the published information to help you prepare your visit without quoting a price we have not confirmed.
Château Meyre does not publish prices for its three wine tourism experiences. Our reception team will give you the price of the Discovery Tour, the Gourmet Tour or the Vineyard by Bike when you get in touch. That way you can check the amount and the availability before travelling to Avensan.
Yes, we ask you to book before your stay for every tour. Tell us the date you have in mind and the experience that interests you, so that our reception team can confirm availability. You can send a request in writing from the contact page or call us. There is no native online booking for these activities.
The Discovery Tour presents Château Meyre AOC Haut-Médoc, Gallen de Château Meyre AOC Margaux and the Meyre sauvignon blanc. The Gourmet Tour also includes three wines, two reds and one white, served with a platter of charcuterie and cheeses and a confit made from the estate's grapes.
The Vineyard by Bike is a two-hour experience offered at the estate, which holds the Accueil Vélo label. You ride at your own pace to discover the history of the château and its vineyard, and a guided tasting rounds off the ride when you return. Booking in advance is still required.
