Traveling with Lincoln Luxury means peace of mind and tailor-made comfort: private chauffeur, hotel pickup, chosen vineyard estates, back whenever you like.
Our passengers stay anonymous, by choice. Here’s what they’re willing to share.
The car was waiting outside the hotel every morning, and each day was built around what we actually wanted to taste. We never looked at a map, and we never looked at the time.
We were looking for a driver; we found someone who knows the estates and also knows how to stay quiet. The pace was just right, from the first appointment to the evening return.
I trust Lincoln Luxury with my foreign clients when the day has to be flawless: punctuality, discretion, and a car that wins everyone over before the door even opens.
We come to collect you from your hotel, and the day is yours: estates, tastings, lunch, an unhurried return in the evening. You don’t drive, and you don’t watch the clock.
Every stay is built to order, around the appellations you want to discover and the pace that suits you. Nothing is standardised.
We don’t count kilometres. We compose days, from your hotel’s steps to the last estate.
Lincoln Luxury, Bordeaux
Every wine tour is built to order, but here are three examples of the days we compose, step by step.
One shared starting point
Three possible directions from Bordeaux, never combined on the same day: each circuit keeps the time each stop needs.
A day along the châteaux route, across three of the Médoc’s best-known appellations.
The Libournais and its great terroirs, at a tighter pace, less than an hour from the city.
From the Graves at Bordeaux’s doorstep to the sweet wines of the Sauternais, in the morning mist.
These three circuits are starting points: estates, timings and pace are all adjusted with you before you arrive.
One circuit, three ways to do it
Take the Médoc circuit above as an example: three estates, about a hundred kilometres. Here’s what it costs, depending on how you do it.
| Over the day | Solo, your own car | A different ride-hailing driver at each stop | Lincoln Luxury |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driving & navigation | You drive, and find your own way between the estates. | Each driver discovers the route for the first time. | A driver who already knows the estates and the vineyard roads. |
| Fuel, tolls, parking | ≈ €25–35 for ≈ 120 km, plus parking at each estate. | Included in each fare, but billed trip by trip. | Included in the day rate. |
| Emotional cost (traffic, stress, staying alert) |
High: unfamiliar roads, staying alert even after a tasting. | Variable: a new car, a new driver, sometimes a wait in the middle of the vines. | None: you don’t drive, and the same driver stays with you all day. |
| Tasting with peace of mind | Limited: someone has to stay sober to drive back. | Possible, but you’ll need to explain yourself again to a different driver at each stop. | Complete: no one has to worry about the way back. |
| Bookings & waiting | No booking needed, but no safety margin if anything goes wrong. | 4 to 6 bookings over the day, and as many waits out in the countryside. | One single pickup, in the morning, at your hotel. |
| Estimated budget, for the day* | ≈ €25–35 in direct costs, not counting the cost of your time and attention. | ≈ €90–150 per ride in wine country, so ≈ €400 to €700 for 4 to 6 stops. | A flat day rate, on request. One price, no surprises. |
Beyond the vineyards: your transfers, your business meetings, your evenings out. The same car, the same driver, the same standards.
Airport, train station, hotel, estate. We track your arrival and we’re there when you come out, not after.
The car and driver stay with you, by the half-day or the day. You move from meeting to meeting; we handle the rest.
What’s said in the car stays in the car. No photos, no names, no posts. It’s a condition, not a selling point.
In Bordeaux, luxury transport usually means an E-Class. We made a different choice: the S-Class, the car usually reserved for major corporations. It’s our one real difference, and it shows the moment the door opens.
A silent cabin, a suspension that smooths out country roads, a rear seat built for working, resting, or simply watching the vineyards go by. Over a six-hour day between two appellations, the difference is not a detail.
Holidaymakers from abroad, organised stays, business relationships. And a few passengers whose names we won’t mention.
We have a client we don’t name. That’s precisely why they trust us.
Our passengers demand discretion. No names on the site, no photos, no anecdotes. Confidentiality isn’t something you talk about: it’s something you practise, on every ride, even when no one is watching.
It’s also what allows entire stays to unfold without a single detail leaking out, and business meetings to carry on in the back seat.
Discretion, without exceptionThe city on one side, the appellations on the other, the Garonne in between. It all plays out within a few dozen minutes’ drive — provided you know which order to take them in.
Left bank or right bank, a day is never built the same way twice. We start from what you want to taste, and the route follows.
The possible routes
Itineraries are set together with you. Estate visits are arranged in advance, according to the season and your preferences.
Three steps, one conversation. Everything else is settled before you arrive.
Your dates, your hotel, the number of passengers, and what you’d like to discover. A message or a call is enough.
We propose a day-by-day plan: the estates, the timings and the travel times, then adjust it together with you.
On the day, the S-Class is outside your hotel. We stay with you until evening, and the plan can still change.
If your question isn’t listed, write to us: we answer ourselves.
Outside your hotel, in Bordeaux or nearby, and it ends there in the evening. We stay with you from morning to evening, for the whole length of your stay.
Usually three to six days, with days organised in advance. Single days or half-days are also possible, depending on our availability.
A Mercedes S-Class. We’re the only chauffeur service in Bordeaux to offer it for this kind of service, where the local market runs on the E-Class.
Yes, we prepare the itinerary with you in advance: the estates, the order of the stops, travel times and tasting times. You have nothing to coordinate on site.
Yes. Airport and train station transfers, half-day or full-day chauffeur service, business travel and evenings out.
Chauffeur services, airport or train station transfers and trips to our main destinations are estimated instantly in our quote form, as soon as you choose the service. For a custom request, we send you a proposal before any booking.
It’s the foundation of the job. No client name is ever mentioned, no photo is ever published, no route detail is ever shared.
A large share of our passengers come from abroad, often as part of organised stays. Write to us in whichever language suits you best.
Tell us your dates and your hotel. We’ll get back to you with an itinerary and a proposal, with no obligation.
