2 nights in Bordeaux
My husband and I are traveling to France in March and spending 2 nights in Bordeaux. Does anyone have a wine tour they recommend? Is it worth booking in advance or better to wait? Any other recommendations are welcome

We did this: http://www.bordeaux-tours.com/uk/medoc1855.html while we were there last summer for a day trip to the Medoc region and had a good experience. They also have other options.
We typically avoid tours and do our own exploring but they were able to confirm us a 2nd growth and 2 4th growths (and I had thought we went to a 4th place but they only list 3 now) that we otherwise would not have been able to book without any local connections.
Also, we were staying in St. Emilion and they picked us up from all they way out there for a small extra charge, another reason we went with the tour instead of spending the whole day driving.
