Pauillac is a town in south-west France, set on the Gironde estuary in the Médoc wine region. Cruise calls here are often linked with the Bordeaux wine country, with vineyards and châteaux close to the port. The town itself has a riverside setting, local streets and views across the estuary. Still, the surrounding wine estates are usually the main focus for visitors. Excursions may include tastings, château visits or trips through villages and vineyard landscapes. Pauillac suits passengers who want a quieter French call centred on wine, regional food and the slower pace of the Médoc.
